The former ambassador to Russia... Trump apparently discussed sending him back to Russia to face a trial or investigation for "crimes".

(13,524 posts)Seems Putin also wanted to talk to some of the people who helped Bill Browder write the Magnitsky Act, too...and of course, hed do ANYTHING to get his hands on Mr. Browder...
That was so long ago, though, so I do wonder if this is all to do with that recent spy exfiltration story...
We shall see

(7,947 posts)And he was frankly shook. Here he was, a career diplomat who had spent decades serving the US in foreign lands and considerable danger (he mentioned always being bugged and followed in Moscow). And he was listening to the president say like it was no big deal that of course he'd send McFaul to Moscow to "answer the charges" Putin had drummed up against him (which amounted to... "being loyal to the US" .
So he and his family had to spend all this time worried that this very erratic and disloyal Trump would turn him over to Putin. Jesus wept.
I hope this is it. I hope this is what forces Trump out. It is unconscionable -- horrible-- what he's done to those who have served this country.

(2,517 posts)Effectively, donnie t may have promised to just have our military sit on the sideline (despite NATO commitments and other protective treaties in place) if the ruskies elect to invade other sovereign countries in their 'sphere of influence.'
May the Creator help all the families for those who will die/suffer because of the actions of donnie t and his supporters......

(1,244 posts)I was convinced that he is a traitor when he stood next to Putin in Helsinki and dismissed U.S. Intel. He continues to divulge our secrets and at what costs?

(7,947 posts)Dan Coats. Did he finally (way too late) have enough and resign AND file a complaint??
sandensea
(21,624 posts)The complaint was filed on August 12; I have my suspicions as to what foreign leader that could be.
It's not one of the more obvious suspects - but, if my hunch is right, I can tell you he definitely feels he needs his Orangeness to rescue him.
This man (the fawn' leader), you see, is most likely looking at jail time in his country, given all the self-dealing and abuse of power he's carried out.
Or, of course, it could in fact be Putin, Bibi, or one of the other usual suspects. Here's hoping we find out soon.

(7,947 posts)He had just become PM.
And he has hair like Trump.
sandensea
(21,624 posts)Bibi would certainly be the best bet - given the elections today (which, as you know, resulted in a hung parliament) and his many corruption and abuse of power allegations that could land him in jail if Gantz becomes PM.
There are, of course, one or two other Cheeto allies that are in Bibi's same predicament. We'll see who it was, and what was "promised" (I hope!).
