That is another Essential Question that folks need to start asking. Reflexively.
Asking until the question makes its way to the White House, and we get a muttering fumbling answer from ‘Dozer Don’.

The List goes on … Never a transcript. Never a summary. Rarely are other Cabinet officials in the room, when Trump is getting his latest instructions from his Handler ... best Bud Vlad — the guy that interfered with the 2016 American Election (among others, like Brexit).

Give away the game much, Mr Putin?
Talk about your “sources and methods” … long as you “speak strongly” and carry a ‘Kropromat stick’ eh Vald?

Besides 'Why All the Lies About Russia? ... Why All the Phone Calls to Putin?
