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.

Donald Trump famously called on Russia to find Hillary Clintons emails ahead of the 2016 election. Hes now calling on Vladimir Putin to dig up dirt on President Bidens family.
The ask came during an interview with Just the News on Real Americas 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 Bidens son, Hunter. Why did the mayor of Moscows wife give the Bidens, both of them, $3.5 million? Thats 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. Bidens 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 isnt 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 youre listening, to find the 30,000 emails that are missing from Clintons email server. Special Counsel Robert Muellers subsequent investigation found that the nation began targeting Clintons accounts on or around the day of Trumps request.

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."

Digging nonexistent dirt for a failed has-been is at the bottom of his priority list.

(64,877 posts)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.

(47,285 posts)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.

(2,166 posts)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.

(6,423 posts)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?

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.
