So let's get this straight: former President Donald Trump is now asking Russia's Vladimir Putin, who is currently waging unprovoked war and causing massive suffering in Ukraine, to help dig up dirt on the current US president and his family. Appalling.

Trump Is Now Asking Putin to Dig Up Dirt on the Biden Family
Former President Donald Trump says he wants Vladimir Putin to provide details about Hunter Biden receiving money from a Russian oligarch.

Donald Trump famously called on Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s emails ahead of the 2016 election. He’s now calling on Vladimir Putin to dig up dirt on President Biden’s family.

The ask came during an interview with Just the News on Real America’s Voice, with the former president citing a Senate report that found a Russian oligarch once gave $3.5 million to a company he claims was founded by Biden’s son, Hunter. “Why did the mayor of Moscow’s wife give the Bidens, both of them, $3.5 million? That’s a lot of money,” Trump said. “She gave him $3.5 million so I would think Putin would know the answer to that,” Trump said. “I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer.”

The Senate report to which Trump is referring is a partisan report Republicans released in 2020. The report found that Yelena Baturina gave $3.5 million to a firm called Rosemont Seneca Thornton in 2014. Hunter Biden was the co-founder of a firm called Rosemont Seneca Advisors. Biden’s lawyer told CNN that this is not the same firm that received the “consultancy agreement” payment from Baturina. There is no evidence the payment was corrupt or that Hunter Biden had anything to do with it.

This isn’t the first time Trump has sought to collude with Russia to help his electoral chances. The soon-to-be president in a July 2016 news conference called on Russia, “if you’re listening,” to “find the 30,000 emails that are missing” from Clinton’s email server. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s subsequent investigation found that the nation began targeting Clinton’s accounts “on or around” the day of Trump’s request.

Trump calls for Putin to release dirt on the Biden family right now since now "he's not exactly a fan of our country" during new interview with Real America's Voice

Extended clip is worth watching: "As long as Putin is not exactly a fan of our country... I would think Putin would know the answer to that. I think he should release it... you won't get the answer from Ukraine... I think Putin now would be willing to probably give that answer."

That tool is spending 99.9% of his waking hours trying to figure out how to save face.
Digging nonexistent dirt for a failed has-been is at the bottom of his priority list.

He's not going to win, and he thought it would be fast & easy, if he did.
Sanctions are already having the expected effects and they've only been in place for around 20 days.
He's replaced all his close personal staff & shrunk the size of his inner circle.
I think you're right in that he's painted a target on his back.

He is oblivious to everything in the world that does not directly affect him. I'm quite sure Putin has a lot more on his plate right now than appeasing Trump's pathetic quest for Biden dirt.

He just goes on and on and on.

The silly lawsuit filed by TFG against Hillary is based on the premise that Russia never helped TFG and that the Mueller investigation was a fraud. This undermines that silly premise

He is claiming the wife of the mayor of Russia gave Hunter 3.5 million dollars but Hunter had nothing to do with that investment fund. Right wingers have falsely linked it to Hunter Biden.

Justice matters.

I expect a very believable long winded accompanied by clear video of every Hunter moment within Russia's space with timeline/time stamps and all reported by the ever fabulously sober, honest, straight shooting, never beating around the bush, making shit up, and/or delaying anything, Mr. Mike Lindell in charge of the investigation squad.

Whatabout Ivanka's spreadsheets and dairies?

You can bet it is part of a scheme.

He simply cannot say anything bad about Putin. Putin is smart. Putin is a genius. Putin is savvy.

But, Biden's are criminal. Biden are crooks. His supporters should be supporting Putin and Russia, not Biden and America. And surely not Ukraine!

And he can never pass the chance to fellate his master Putin.
