(7,947 posts)He'd probably love to leave Russia and come here (where of course he'll never make it-- there are real rock stars here).
If he can get some green card or visa, he's probably thinking he'll be better off here.
Sanity Claws
(21,852 posts)People who cross Putin arent known for their longevity. They are better known for falling out of windows, falling off roofs, drinking toxin-laced teas, etc.

(15,543 posts)Goldstone was a fixer setter-upper for the Trump Tower Traitor Tete-a-tete. Not involved in this trial apparently, but again indicative of the character of types republicans choose to be intimate with.

If this is true, and I were him, I wouldn't drink any tea nor accept any hot tub deliveries through 4th story windows.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Not sure that he will pull it off.
Another possibility is Putin has concluded that Trump has become a liability and want Trump gone, knowing that we would gladly get that job done for him. So Putin starts to build the evidence against Trump and his family.

(23,147 posts)Maybe he will go against his training and tell the truth, but I think it's more likely he'll just lie and say it was about adoptions. Hopefully Mueller has the goods on him to force the truth, otherwise he'll be just another lying Putin puppet

(15,290 posts)Think about it, the mid-terms are only a couple months away and Russia's social media campaign to sow discord has been exposed. If Dems take control of one or both houses of Congress, how useful will Trump be to Putin then? Dems will be holding hearings and issuing supoenas and getting to the bottom of what exactly Putin has on Trump. Better to start cutting bait now.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Campaigns, so I dont think we will get the truth from Emin. The truth is their enemy. It would result in stronger sanctions. Whatever he says it will to cause more confusion and sow discord.

(6,045 posts)If & when it appears Trumps goose is cooked the Russians release a bunch of fake/Altered US Intel, FBI, etc., documents making it appear there is a covert Deep State cabal within the USA supposedly Anti-Trump!!!
The Russians have damn sure done this in other smaller countries to destabilize them
The Russians will create them & turn them over to Assange who will claim one or more American Patriot Whistle Blowers gave him the docs!
THIS WOULD BE A FREAKIN NIGHTMARE!
I think about it all the time!

(37,648 posts)Since when does a Russian, who still lives under Putin, cooperate with Putin's enemy? Or has he defected and lives here or somewhere else?
If this is true, this is grrrrreat! The House of Cards is starting to fall.

(43,258 posts)Mueller knows what he needs to know from him. Any testimony he gives will be compared to statements by others, and other evidence. So if the guy is going to tell a story, he does so at his own peril. A lie would highly likely to be shown for what it is. And this guy doesn't know what Mueller knows, wants to know, or what he will ask.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)I feel that he is setting up to lie. He is too in Putin's orbit.
We saw that be being a good Putin stooge, Anna Chapman became rich and influential once she got beck to Russia. The woman that got jailed would have ended up rich and still may if she gives up nothing and get back to Russia.

(81,440 posts)At the very LEAST, the House. Because that takes Devin Nuness chairmanship if the House Intel Committee away from him and gives it to Adam Schiff. And Chairman Schiff will have the power to crank that investigation back up, or start a new one, and issue subpoenas, and get those phone records. AND compel people to come and testify, or testify again. And MORE.
So VOTE, DAMMIT!!!

(14,494 posts)Mr. Mueller knows that and perhaps will set a perjury trap to try and flip him. Even then, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could lift and throw him.
And he's a Russian pop star???............

(14,163 posts)All he cares to do is promote himself to enhance his fame and sell more record albums in Russia and around the world. The more media attention he can excite the brighter his media spotlight becomes the more total album sales he enjoys. World wide album royalties must keep him in Mercedes roadsters and fancy hand made Italian shoes.
The more notoriety that comes to him, the more he promotes and markets himself the more money that passes between his fingers. Agalarov is not drawn to the Mueller investigation to help America find Russian traitors - he is looking to lay down smokescreens of confusion to gum up the Mueller case and to bring himself notoriety to better market his domestic and international brand and bring additional riches to the House of Agalarov.
If Agalarov also takes the heat off of Russia/Putin/trDump and helps to create a smokescreens of confusion about any consiracy to illegally tamper with the US election all the better. Lord knows trDump's ass is on fire so any help to create any diversions would be a God's sent blessing for all guilty parties concerned. Can
This dude is poured from the same mold as the trDump kids and the Kushner mold of self promotion interests only. Nothing altruistic found among this crowd in any way, shape, or form. Entirely driven by selfishness, greed, and gluttonous avarice. Those are the limited component that comprise their entire hollow and shallow cores. They are zombies who's only pursuit and life purpose is chasing, manipulating, and conniving in the accumulation of the almighty dollar.
That is their life's religion, hording money is their golden cow,... that is what they truly worship.
