Mike Allen of Axios shared a snippet from the book in which Lemire claims Trump’s Russia adviser Fiona Hill almost took an extreme measure to quiet him during a speech in Helsinki, Finland:

Fiona Hill, the senior Russia expert on the National Security Council, who was sitting one row in front of me, later told me that she considered doing something, anything — including faking a heart attack — to disrupt the proceedings and get Trump to stop talking.

For context, Trump stated he had no reason to believe Russia was interfering in U.S. elections after a meeting with Putin.

U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies had determined Russia was behind broad efforts to influence outcomes at the ballot box in 2016.

After visiting with Putin in private, Trump was asked about Russian election meddling.

“President Putin says it’s not Russia,” Trump responded. “I don’t see any reason why it would be.”

1. Of all the many things that thing did in office, Helsinki was bottom 3 at least...

I remember thinking that day that if that had been ANY other POTUS, they would have thrown him off AF1 and told his traitorous bitch ass to walk the fuck home. I can't believe to this day that there was no blow back on him for this subservient bootlicking he gave Putin.

Worst Human Being of ALL TIME and its not remotely close...

An Ex-KGB Agent Says Trump Was a Russian Asset Since 1987. Does it Matter? (with photographic proof)

The money shot- “In terms of his personality, the guy is not a complicated cookie,” he said, “his most important characteristics being low intellect coupled with hyperinflated vanity."

Asset, not an agent, i.e. a useful idiot.
