Also - the Richard Engel stuff is sounding pretty serious, too. He's reporting that it's awfully quiet re: trump in Moscow now. The Kremlin has issued what he called "a directive" to the effect of "no more trump" to its media - and whereas there was wall-to-wall trump on TV and newspapers and everywhere since his rise, and everybody was celebrating his election and how it was gonna Make Russia Great Again (he described it using those words, too), and now everybody's clammed up everywhere. Not a word. It's all about Putin and his election campaign for next year now.
MAN-OH-MAN, trump is running on tremendously thin ice if the Russians see no use for him anymore. If they think he's not turning out the way they wanted, and won't help them further their own agenda, what will they do about him? Does all that blackmail dossier stuff come into play now? Are they gonna start thinking they're going to need to put a leash on him now?
What do they do with an asset they no longer find valuable or useful?
And they thought trump was the asset straight from Heaven.
MAN this is sounding like a big-time spy novel.
