Muellers Latest Indictment Shows Trump Has Helped Putin Cover Up a Crime

Hours after Friday’s indictment, Trump issued a statement once again dismissing the Russia investigation for producing “outlandish partisan attacks, wild and false allegations, and far-fetched theories.” But with this indictment—and possibly others—Mueller has demonstrated that Trump, by refusing to acknowledge fully the Russian assault of 2016, has been helping Putin cover up a crime.

the Russians only because he's shooting for some business there in Russia. It's all about money to tRUMP, whereas in the Russian mind, it is different, it is a means to an end (the money). After all, Putin basically has every ruble in Russia under his de facto control...every ruble.

In this case, the glory days of the Soviet Union (wanting respect) is what's spurring Putin on, as well as embarrassment (payback for those who embarrassed the Soviets, in Putin's mind). What's ironic about it is that Putin is doing more for Russian interests than tRUMP is doing for American interests. tRUMP is the real traitor here, not Putin, after all, the West and Putin/Russia feud still is simmering hot in some areas.
