Trump's relying on Russia to vouch for him?

Last edited Wed Jan 11, 2017, 11:15 AM - Edit history (1)

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!

Nataliya Vasilyeva @NatVasilyevaAP
Putin's spokesman Peskov has just denied allegations in the Trump report, says "the Kremlin does not engage in collecting compromising info"

Eric Boehlert ?@EricBoehlert
if Trump's turning to Putin as a character witness he might not fully grasp the unfolding scandal

has already verified that Trump was in Russia multiple times and that the Russians
would have been aware of everything he did.

Gimme a break. No wonder Trump wanted all the ambassadors gone.

They are aware of everything that goes on. And they get it on film.

Trump trusted the wrong people this time. Or maybe he just thought he could outplay them.

But he was the perfect patsy. His ego made him such an easy target. He thinks of himself as this real hard ass. After all, he did business with the mob. He has a reputation of getting revenge. Someone screws him over and he screws them over 10x worse.

Except. He had no idea just how hardball the Russians and Chinese and all play. Putin's enemies all end up dead.

Business people just look the other way when they know that sort of stuff about people.

Politics is a whole other ballgame .

Trump really screwed up on this one. I don't think he saw it coming.

Kompromat (Russian: компромат, short for компрометирующий материал, literally "compromising material&quot is the Russian term for compromising materials about a politician or other public figure. Such materials can be used to create negative publicity, for blackmail, or for ensuring loyalty.
