Kremlin Hopes White House Doesn't Release Putin-Trump Calls

Source: Bloomberg

Russia hopes the U.S. doesn’t release transcripts of President Donald Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin as it did this week with his talks with the Ukrainian leader, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

“We would like to hope that things won’t come to such situations in our bilateral relations, which already have plenty of quite serious problems,” Peskov told a conference call when asked for the Kremlin’s reaction to the U.S. decision to release the transcript of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Russia is in a win win scenario. Trump has knee capped America in the single most effective Russian intelligence operation in human history. The divisions in American politics may never be repaired.

how does he talk when he speaks to Putin alone?"

Put chills down my spine.

Perhaps the downfall of Donald will also lead to major shakeups in Russia and whatever other countries have made crazy ass deals with the orange turd - if the impeachment leads to the release of other phone transcripts, anyway, that is. I'm not sure how that could happen, but as they investigate they might start seeing a trail of deceit and shenanigans that requires looking into his conversations with other world leaders.

their conversations. Some may have deliberately kept the conversations quiet due to the ridiculous and highly illegal request(s) by rump for some sort of nefarious act(s) to be committed on his behalf.

That's why Chump held back the funds, because Pootie wants Ukraine to be as weak and defenseless as possible when he overruns them. I'm sure it will be in the transcripts of those phone calls, but we'll probably never see them.

I think he was trying to help Putin! By withholding the weapons & demand all of the fake news stuff from Ukraine, he was trying to help himself & Putin at the same time!
