I know it’s not very widely held here, or I’ve read posts that don’t believe his stuff

I stumbled across his site, have been reading weekly since early 2017. Seems to me the stuff he finds reports may not be spot on at the time he might be off at times, but overall he’s been season in my book. Ala Maddow

A post today caught my eye. Something Putin said in Helsinki. When asked if he had anything on tRump, Putin denied. Then without being asked he said, “Take the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. There were over five hundred American businessmen, high ranking ones. Do you think we tried to collect compromising material on each and every single one of them?”
Palmer believes this statement is Putin stating he does have something on tRump. And he says it in front of him. The world.
Thoughts?

involving pee in that hotel, but he might have done something there that he feels would cause him embarrassment, and Putin won't deny he has something. Putin is smiling with delight the whole time he is with Trump, and Trump's body language is closed and nervous. He's like a bad schoolboy summoned to see the head teacher.

So when I read your post the image of Kaa hypnotizing Mowgli from the Disney movie Jungle book come to my mind probably not quite what you meant Putin does kinda remind me of a snake

If you can't answer the question truthfully, answer a question that wasn't asked instead.
