ALL THINGS DONALD TRUMP THE PROOF IS IN THE PUTIN

ALL THINGS DONALD TRUMP, THE PROOF IS IN THE PUTIN’

On Monday, July 16, 2018 if you viewed the live television feed regardless of network the Trump/Putin Helsinki Summit press conference, as a viewer you have access to the raw data to form your opinion to an unprecedented historic event.   The immediate and overwhelming reaction of Congress, White House and Intelligence agencies came to a consensus. This was an absolute failure of a U.S. President to stand, defend our democratic process. With Vladimir Putin standing to his left, Trump accepted his denial of election “meddling” and refused to issue any form of a reprimand or an ultimatum to Russia.

As the week progressed, the networks dissected every word, facial expression and body language of both world leaders. And, as if you did not notice certain segments of the press conference and the Trump walk back (would versus wouldn’t) have aired as in a continuous loop on your wide screen.

However, there are facts to be gleaned from the network’s assiduous dissection of the tape. The observations also included many credible members of former and current government officials.

The media performed an exceptional role in their questioning of members of Congress   of the Intelligence Community including NSA, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

THERE ARE TWO UNEQUIVICABLE FACTS REGARDING RUSSIAN TAMPERING THAT CAME TO LIGHT

       During the Helsinki press conference one courageous member of the press put to President Putin a two-fold question regarding Moscow’s interference in our election and who did you favor Trump to win the election? .” He stared down the reported and then came his answers Putin’s candid response was “Yes” and “Yes. Afterward, any viewer could see the smirk or smile on the Russian President’s face emerge.

     In this brief moment Putin revealed to the world the truth of Russian cyber inroads made into intelligence systems in the West. When questioned whether the Kremlin had collected damaging information of Donald Trump or his family, Putin cleverly avoided the answer by referring back to 2006 where he cited 500 American or foreign businessman attended conferences in Russia. He said his agencies could not possibly collect any compromising data due to the number. In fact, he stated he did not Donald Trump was in Russia.

     Putin cleverly avoided giving a complete answer as he checked a sly smile as to say that was true then but since that time had began collecting information, following Trump’s moves in Moscow and putting him in compromising situations. The amount of data is not known but the intelligence gathered resulted in the “Steele Dossier” or Russian “kompromat.”

Two days later a shocking story appeared in a New York Times article on July 18, 2018.  From the Start, Trump Has Muddied a Clear Message Putin Interfered by David E. Sanger and Matthew Rosenberg.

This well documented article reveals the events occurring on January 6, 2017, two weeks prior to the Inauguration of President-Elect Trump. Here is what Sanger and Rosenberg wrote.

“The Jan. 6, 2017, meeting, held at Trump Tower, was a prime example. He was briefed that day by John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director; James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence; and Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency and the commander of United States Cyber Command.

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was also there; after the formal briefing, he privately told Mr. Trump about the “Steele dossier.” That report, by a former British intelligence officer, included uncorroborated salacious stories of Mr. Trump’s activities during a visit to Moscow, which he denied”

The most persuasive evidence included emails and text messages among the Russian members recently indicted by Mueller that confirmed Russian interference and that the order came directly from Vladimir Putin.

These communications were intercepted or stolen other sources including British, Dutch and our own American Intelligence services.

On that day Trump begrudgingly accepted the intelligence report as presented by our top official experts. These two reporters no doubt followed a cardinal rule of journalists. That rule is to obtain at least two credible sources to confirm the story or facts as known. In this case there were up to seventeen sources.

America has been subjected to the Trump strategy to follow upon taking office. It has been a constant denial of the intelligence he had no reason to doubt. Each and every day since Trump has presented some statement, tweet, and public appearances has denied the facts. This President takes advantage of every situation where he will run contrary to the facts he knows to be true. This is a “witch hunt", "how sad" and “No collusion.” The biggest affront occurred at the Helsinki press conference when he rejected the conclusion offered by his own appointee Dan Coates and accepted unabashedly the “strong, powerful denial” told to him in the privacy of that day. He accepted the word of Vladimir Putin, the world’s most corrupt leader who has orchestrated and ordered the assai nation of anyone he perceives as a threat to his authoritarian rule.

These are bold-faced lies by the President to the American People. Trump must know the true extent of Russia’s interference in his election. What may emerge or may be suppressed by the Mueller investigation is that Putin’s infiltration went much further than posting phony stories on Face book and Twitter. Russia hacked into the count of votes in at least three States to overturn the actual voting giving Trump the victory.

This President’s denial and his failure to order counter measures to protect future elections borders on treason.

One week later, I heard the results of polls that indicate somewhere between 41 and 49% of Americans approve of the President’s behavior and handling of Vladimir Putin. These are incredible numbers in my estimation. Sadly, there remain these large numbers who continue to believe the President in face of overwhelming contrary facts. They are misinformed, ignorant and uneducated as Donald Trump in the History of America and our democratic process. They are the same “useful idiots” poisoned by foreign and in some cases domestic enemies of the United States.

The ignorance of the American people requires a follow-up as to what danger they present to this nation.
