At the time, unthinkably stupid. After yesterday's indictments it smacks of complicity

1. Treason (R) most foul

This cannot stand. republicans continue to sell out America.

2. Yes, make it impenetrable - there is so much to hide and bury

Stupid piece of shit traitor

[shraby]

3. This should be headline news. It's absolutely mind-boggling

that he would team anything with our greatest adversary, much less our voting capabilities.

4. Agreed. I don't ever recall seeing that tweet. nt

5. DU caught it

my post at the time: https://upload.democraticunderground.com/10029303603

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 18m18 minutes ago
Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 10m10 minutes ago
...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
...have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?

...did Trump discuss details of the hacking investigation with Putin?

What does 'guard election hacking and other negative things,' mean?

...like the first question I asked.

10. What weird phrasing. Hacking etc. will be GUARDED? That means it will be PROTECTED, not prevented.nt

[erronis]

12. the dump sometimes actually says what he means. It wanted to protect the hacking of buddy putin.

Asstounding.

[eppur_se_muova]

14. On second thought, I should have said "what TELLTALE phrasing".

You're right, it's quite the Freudian slip.

11. Don't forget Kushner's back channel.

May 26, 2017

WASHINGTON — Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, spoke in December with Russia’s ambassador to the United States about establishing a secret communications channel between the Trump transition team and Moscow to discuss strategy in Syria and other policy issues, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion.

The Post reported that the direct line between the transition team and the Kremlin in concept would have been conducted through Russian diplomatic facilities to avoid being monitored in American communication systems.

Gee, what on Earth could they have possibly wanted to hide from "American communication systems"?

[erronis]

13. Given how sloppy the repugs/dump-family have been, I think the back-channel would be well monitored

Also, given the continual staff turmoil and turnover in the dump/putin white house there have to be some juicy stories to come out. The putin kremlin mafia seems much more efficient at controlling the messages.

Hey, donnie boy - novichok takes a while to show its effects, so even tho your official tasters are still breathing/living, you should wait awhile before chomping into that delicious triple-mac-fake-cheese bugger.

15. Fox guarding hen house

'negative things' means anything that is not advantageous to Trump.

'Impenetrable' means it's theirs, exclusively.

'Guarded' means they, and they alone, control it.

In other words, a mechanism to perpetuate control of elections, policy, money, the economy, to benefit them.

16. Treasonous bastard

[StarzGuy]

17. I agree with this idea of duplicity...

...in light of the indictments. However, where does this lead to? Unless tRump can be directly tied to russian attacks it will not amount to much of anything. I think we make the mistake that Muller can tie all of this medaling directly to tRump. Unfortunately, I don't share this view. In the end, when Muller concludes his investigation, we will be left with not much in terms of tRumps involvement. He and his minions will never admit their involvment into the russian hacks in the 2016 elections.

The only way to get relief is to vote tRump and his pals out of office. I also think that democrats are on the wrong side of the illegal immigration debate. Like it or not, even if it isn't so, many think democrats are open border advocates. Republicans will make hay over this in the 2018 elections. Therefore I fear that the so called land slide for the democrats in the 2018 election may very well be a pipe dream.

Insisting on all the talk about illegal immigrant rights will do nothing but rally the rebublican base to turn out in the 2018 elections. I think it is folly and will mean more years of republican rule with the assistance of putin's russia.

God help us all...

19. he knew

Btw,...the Latino community, Muslim communities, who are the real targets of Trump's immigrant attacks, deserve our unflagging support. They help make up our party's base.

[Honeycombe8]

18. An impenetrable Cyber unit WITH the perps who pentrated our cyber universe? WTH???

First, I don't know that there IS such a thing as an impenetrable cyber security unit.

Second...in order to protect the country from cyber attacks from Russia, we go into a cyber security joint venture WITH Russia? IS HE INSANE? No. He's a traitor.

Someone told Trump to say this. Putin? Steve the Nazi? Kushner the colluder?
