    (*Sigh!*)... No, Yulee, I was talking about BILL BROWDER! Know anything about Bill Browder? Read -- https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/world/europe/putin-bill-browder-magnitsky-investor.html

    He made many millions of dollars during the infancy of the newly-formed Russian Federation back during the 1990's. Oh, and with the help of his big rich Russian oligarch buddies, he did it legally, of course.... :party:

    Sergei Magnitsky never made it to trial

    No we don't. Face the reality that Russia will NEVER send those 12 to us.

    Bill Browder is a British citizen. We have no authority over him. Putin can take that up with Teresa May. She might want to discuss a poisoning on her though. So he better come with those folks.

    But international courts have found Russia’s claim to be BS. So had our US Congress, hence the Magnitsky act.

    What about meeting alone with Putin? That happens between world leaders all the time.

    Obama met in private with Putin.

    The hard left is fixated on one word, which was corrected, and is working hard to get it's followers to ignore everything else the President said on the subject during the Press Conference.

    Why do you think that is?

    It's only interesting because Putin offered it. Everything offered in a first meeting is money in the bank when negotiating.

    I guess when people have no experience negotiating, they have to be told what to think.

    Murder... an interesting concept. BTW, has anyone ever figured out how Vince Foster supposedly shot himself in the head?
    When,
    No bullet was ever found in Fort Marcy Park, even though Foster supposedly shot himself there.
    The gun that was found in his hand has never been positively identified as his.
    Foster’s fingerprints were not found on the gun.

    Link: https://www.aim.org/aim-column/something-stinks-the-fishy-vince-foster-case/

    Yup, guess that gives any 'thinking' person all the guidance they need -- Putin's a murderer, and nobody else in the political big-time is... right? :roflol: . :hiding:

    Nothing will come of any of this. Putin must be 100% sure that we’d gain nothing in our investigation, or he’d never float the idea. On the flip side, Browder is British, so even if Putin can claim questioning McFaul has uncovered new info pointing at Browder’s guilt, I doubt U.K. will hand him over.

    By the way, do you think Russia will only ask about Browder’s supposed campaign contributions, or will they also grill McFaul about Browder’s days as a serial killer and his theft of $4.8 billion from the IMF? :laughing:

    I get it. Your incapable of saying he is wrong when it’s so clear he is.

    No, we're looking for a return to wise, careful policy and the elimination of the insane, America-hating gullible, unpatriotic brainwashing characteristic of trump's supporters.

    Why would I need to say the President was wrong, when he didn't agree to anything?

    Tell me, did the President agree to anything?

    Seems to me you are just reacting to the outrage the left's media has created for it's target audience.

    I don’t do conspiracy theories.

    I was outraged long before the media published it. I even posted about it during the presser

    So you chose to ignore everything else the President said on the subject. A closed mind is rarely capable of rational analysis and response.

    Who said anything about sending anyone to Russia? We're talking about a questioning in the states and I'm sure our people would be present. In exchange we possibily could question some of his people about their activities.

    Under what authority would we demand anyone meet with Russian investigators? Trump has zero power to even do this.

    No but this person has been acused of committing crimes in their country. Russia is supposed to allow us to interrogate their people but we're to tell them to shove it when they ask the same of us. Ya can't have it both ways.

    So do you believe President Donald Trump performed well in the press conference?

    I think he did fine. Got one word wrong, but considering everything else that countered that word, it was nothing.

    I would have preferred he not spend so much time on the "beating Hillary" answer, but all in all, not bad.

    Mueller's witch hunt a growing disaster for national security

    Now the Russians are trying to arrest a former U.S. ambassador in a tit-for-tat maneuver following Mueller's indictment of Russians in Moscow.
