7. I think it has more to do with what Putin wants

Do you all remember in Helsinki, when he was going against the US Intelligence and siding with Putin's denial, he said that Putin had offered him a wonderful solution, to combine Russian investigators with US investigators to get to the bottom of this? I can't remember if this is before or after the 12 Russians were indicted by Mueller, I think it was after. Putin wants those indictments and the determination that Russia was behind the hacking to go away. (so the sanctions can be lifted) And I think that is now what we are seeing with Barr and Pompeo globe trotting. Putin has been giving directives to Trump to send his people around the world to gin up these false allegations that will lead to the discrediting of the Mueller Report.

Trump is no more than Putin's puppet.
