    One does not need to be in the State Department to know that such a deal would absurd, stupid, assine, and just rediculous.

    An opportunity to have the 12 indicted Russians tried in US courts? That’s a freaking goldmine.

    Don’t you see, one of these indicted Russian intelligence officers might have the silver bullet to impeach trump. You are passing on a golden opportunity.

    Hand over a former Ambassador and he won’t have to worry about impeachment. He would get primaried.

    When Michael McFaul arrived in Moscow in 2012 as U.S. ambassador to Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin already considered him an adversary, he says — and attacks against him got personal and ugly.

    McFaul was painted as someone trying to unseat the political system and bring American-style democracy to Russia. Just before he arrived to take up his posting, there had been street protests against Putin, then serving as prime minister and running for president.

    "Putin's reaction to that was to blame us for fomenting revolution against his regime — and when I showed up, to blame me personally," McFaul tells NPR.

    His new book, From Cold War to Hot Peace, is part memoir, part history text — but he also suggests another genre.

    "It's a tragedy," he says, "about what we tried to do in the Obama administration, and on a personal level, it's a tragedy about what I tried to do with Russia for the last 30 years."

    Those years began with his work as a pro-democracy activist in Moscow, watching the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s — and continued into a troubled two years as Barack Obama's ambassador to Russia.

    continued

    Trump is considering asking Putin to extradite the 12. What would you be willing to give to have that?

    So Sanders said this:

    On Wednesday, Sanders said there "was some conversation" between Trump and Putin at their Monday summit about Russia's request, "but there wasn’t a commitment made on behalf of the United States and the president will work with his team and we’ll let you know if there’s an announcement on that front."
    ​
    And Browder and McFaul, and the usual suspects are blowing a gasket.

    Seems like Browder and McFaul have something to hide.

    As long as the Grand Buffoon gets to question the Twelve Indicted Ham Sandwiches (which he will, OF COURSE, REFUSE. )


    He'd have to PRODUCE some ACTUAL EVIDENCE, in that event , which I seriously doubt he has, as this point.

    No we don’t. Browder has been cleared by international investigation already.

    Yes, it probably would, but it won't EVER happen, even if Trump put McFaul in a straight jacket and gag and flew him nonstop to the Black Dolphin....
