BREAKING: White House @PressSec says Trump will be meeting with his team to consider Putin's request to see President Obama's Ambassador to Russia @McFaul interrogated for the Russians.

That this Putin request has not been forcefully rejected is a travesty.

This isn't the first time Trump tried to deliver Putin's enemies to him

@Billbrowder had his visa revoked by Trump simultaneously as Putin ordered his arrest- for playing a role in Sergei Magnitsky's death- the same person the #MagnitskyAct is named after

It's worse than "a travesty." It's #treasonous! We do not offer up US citizens for interrogation by hostile powers! #ThisIsNotNormal

So let me get this straight. Trump is considering sending an American citizen to Putin, who is known for having his enemies killed, for "interrogation?"

Goddammit. Are you fucking kidding me? What is there to discuss, tell Putin to suck a bag of dicks and hang up. Seriously, what the hell is going on in this damned administration.

it far exceeds threshold for treason per US Code. Trump goes againt US citizens and is considering extraditing an innocent former US official to a hostile dictator where he will face certain death.

is hysterical laughter.

Putin wants what?

Unfortunately, Trump knows better than to laugh in the boss's face.
