Trump sides with Putin over US intelligence.

You remember Putin? Has ties with Rosneft. The Russian oil company who has ties with Exxon Mobil. Who Rex Tillerson, now Secretary of State, was once CEO for. Who is now guardedly dismantling regulations. You know, that Putin?

The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks
The transparency organization asked the president’s son for his cooperation—in sharing its work, in contesting the results of the election, and in arranging for Julian Assange to be Australia’s ambassador to the United States.

Well, it's not illegal, so I don't know why anybody would make a big deal about it.

Re: Enjoy President Trump, Courtesy of The Kremlin
Apparently, the diplomatic tension between the US and Russia increased under Trump. He imposed sanctions on Russia this past July, which the Russians responded to by noting that the US had to reduce embassy staff by 755 people. As a result, the only option for State was to hire a commercial company for Local Guard services (basically outside the perimeter of the embassy, and not the internal security of the embassy). They sought US companies and various options, but the problem was that nobody was licensed in Russia, and there really was only one option of a company that could perform the services. The company is run not by the former KGB agent (who retired from the KGB in 1992, a quarter-century ago), but by that former KGB agent's son, Dmitri, and the company is a large company with many shareholders and they operate throughout Europe. The company was vetted by all US government agencies, according to the articles, and there wasn't anything found that would suggest the company was a problem. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41947030

In the glare of publicity over the Russian scandal, Trump had to at least give the appearance of not cosying up to the bear...

Trump knew everything from the beginning. He is going to pull the Reagan Iran contra deal: I can’t recall.

Was there secret correspondence between the Clinton campaign and Fusion GPS?Seabass wrote:The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and WikileaksThe transparency organization asked the president’s son for his cooperation—in sharing its work, in contesting the results of the election, and in arranging for Julian Assange to be Australia’s ambassador to the United States.
What do they mean "secret correspondence?" Does Donald Trump have to publish all of his correspondence? Is there something wrong with corresponding with Wikileaks, even about leaks?
There's nothing wrong with the clinton campaign hiring Fusion GPS, and there is nothing wrong with anyone communicating with Wikileaks.
Three was secret correspondence between CNN and the Clinton campaign. A secret agreement between the DNC and the Clinton campaign. So what?
