Propaganda gold: Russia revels in summit victory

The entire news conference was expertly dominated by Putin, complete with his overt demonstration of the alleged talking points, conveniently written in an extra-large font. The Russian leader held up the notes, seemingly giving himself the thumbs-up. Discernible portions read: “Election interference… Mueller… proposal… Agreement 199… Ukraine… New ideas… to develop… Nordstream… transit… arbitrage… Syria… joint humanitarian operations with the goal of creating conditions for the return of refugees.”

Such a slip-up by an experienced Chekist is nearly inconceivable and was most likely intentional. The content of the notes is self-explanatory and the reference to “199[?] agreement” most likely relates to the 1999 Treaty with Russia on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters. Putin mentioned the treaty, while offering Russia’s cooperation in the Mueller case. The Russian President said: “Things that are off the top of my head. We have an existing agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation, an existing treaty that dates back to 1999. The mutual assistance on criminal cases. This treaty is in full effect. It works quite efficiently.”

Putin proceeded to make an abjectly absurd offer, proposing that Russian authorities conduct the questioning of the 12 indicted GRU members, permitting the Mueller team to travel to Russia and merely watch the questioning. In exchange, Putin requested the questioning of the former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, the British businessman Bill Browder, as well as multiple unnamed U.S. intelligence officers. Instead of expressly rejecting Putin’s unpalatable proposal outright, Trump agreed to consider it and lingered for days before it was officially rejected.

The summit produced another non-starter, birthed by the Russian side: a proposal to hold a referendum in Eastern Ukraine. Trump’s failure to immediately reject it provided fertile ground for the Russian state TV propagandists, predicting that such a referendum will lead to Donbas seceding from Ukraine and subsequently being annexed by Russia, akin to Crimea. The proposal was finally shot down days later.

4. +1. I suspect Trump was handed a to-do list, which he put in his pocket.

The interpreter should be subpoenaed and testify to what transpired in that room. We have a right to know.
