    “Please don’t tell anybody you sent these to me,” Putin said to Trump, according to Woodward.

    “I don’t care,” Trump replied. “Fine.”

    “No, no,” Putin said. “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. They don’t care about me.”

    That was about some COVID Test Kits Trump sent to his friend, during the pandemic.

    They are so considerate one of another. What a wholesome friendship.

    This is fucking nuts.

    They had multiple meetings when he was in office, some with only the Russian translator present (highly unorthodox to deprive the US state of their translator).

    In one meeting outside of those, a US translator was present and took notes as is custom. President Trump ordered the US translator to destroy their notes.

    During Trump’s time in office it is believed Putin acquired a list of the identities and positions of multiple undercover agents, resulting in some of them being killed, and many having to be recalled.

    Get fucked Woodward, you’re only in this to sell books. If you had a modicum of integrity you would have been reporting this shit instead of saving it for your book to generate sales.

      Scandal fatigue is real. I don’t imagine this new revelation will tip the scales much in either direction. This isn’t the times of Watergate. Trump and his supporters have neither the shame nor the intelligence to make good use of this info. If Woodward could squeeze a couple more bucks out of his book by timing a release, I’m not going to judge him.

      Surely this would have been the line in the sand that would have tipped the scales of public favor. Surely the felonies weren’t enough.

        Reminds me of an old joke that’s been recycled for like every president.

        “So, boxers or briefs,”

        “Depends.”

        Kinda makes you wonder if that’s why Obama never answered it…,
