I don't think he was ever subjected to the kind of financial proctology he will be getting from Mueller, the more so given the tranche of Trump Piss that he today delivered via the NY times direct to Bobby Three-Sticks patrician visage...

He's been getting away with it for decades. Even now it seems he's just as likely to get away with it despite all the outrages. He's American Psycho except that was supposed to just be a book/movie, a parody.

I don't think there is much to worry about--the dramatis personae at theTower Tete-a-Tete pretty much confirms that scrutiny of the most casual sort (Mueller's, a fortiori) would unearth a billion plus in laundered money passing through real estate holdings tied in one way or another to the Trump outfit.

As the nice lady who collected dues for the Library Auxiliary found out one sad day, the thing about money is it always leaves a paper trail, and even if everything is nominally proper, the minute there is any kind of audit, laundering, like embezzlement, becomes obvious.

Can't be - I have it from my good friend Geez Louise that "Ray" is in a witness protection program while marshalls prepare a traitor purge. Inside reports say the leak's more likely to come from someone whose name sounds a bit similar to "DayGlo", seeing as he shares some of the Traitor-in-Chief's favored pasttimes, keeping mum about whether that includes underaged girls.

Bad timing, my butt. Someone leaked, and I know just who it is. Not naming names, but it rhymes with Rick Ray.

What could possibly go wrong.

Answering for myself, a normal US leader like Obama talking say to Merkel isn't that shocking because she didn't just annex part of Austria, send her troops into Sicily, hack France's election and kill a bunch of German journalists - in short, an ally, not an adversary, who largely shares what we presume to be democratic, modern civilized values. The head of Philippines who's been killing anyone slightly suspected as a drug addict or Erdogan who's shut down democracy in Turkey and is firing/imprisoning a large number of presumed opponents in government, journalism, etc.? Yes, he should have a translator/2nd source to make sure the bastards don't missummarize the meeting and use for other nefarious purposes.

PS - sorry to ruin your Salon blockbuster story you'd been working on so long. Bad timing, huh? Sux. I guess I can give you partially attribution, "This Tweet/post was created in collusion with Genghis", presuming they can figure out who Genghis is. [he's the one with the loud shirts and lapels that look like wingtip shoes, folks... and married to a Russian - whoot!!!]

I bow to your personal experience and appreciate your opinion and information. Not to bicker but because I honestly wonder: Is what you say about personal contact because it applies to any Russian President or this particular Russian President speaking to any American President or just to this particular one? Would it be equally shocking for Trump to speak similarly with any foreign Head of State, even an ally, whose State might have some differences in desired policy or where there is potential for conflicts of interest to be in play? I cannot know if it was just a get-to-know-you-better-and-establish-some-rapport type conversation carried out semi-publicly in a room where other interested parties are likely to be within earshot at least occasionally, but is that, if it were the case, beyond acceptable protocol?

"Appearances are important though, as PP says" - sorry to give that impression - criminal malfeasance, espionage, corruption, selling out the country, putting oneself in the position of blackmail to an unscrupulous wily foreign leader of arguably our biggest enemy, obstruction of justice, misleading our judicial and enforcement authorities, hacking/stealing elections, destroying our health system - these are important. I'm not playing this bullshit game of "oh, nothing happened but he should have been more careful" - he's a lying, thieving, self-enriching skunk that's selling us down the river, and this is just one more example of him fucking with us and fucking us, while his party/partners in crime simply don't give a shit because they're getting kickbacks and funding in the background, and/or just willing to sell themselves out for a mess of pottage.
