Wczoraj odbyło się spotkanie Trumpa z Putinem. Można je streścić parafrazując słowa pewnego Polaka nt. Baćki tj. "Trump uważa, że Putin to bardzo ciepły i miły człowiek". Po końcowym oświadczeniu D.T. demokraci pacnęli się w czoło, republikanie takoż, pracownicy wywiadu i reszty służb USA również, no i pewnie wielu Amerykanów zrobiło podobnie... Nadal nie rozumiem co uniemożliwia rozpoczęcie procedury impeachmentu.

Wcześniej doszło do oskarżenia12 pracowników GRU odpowiedzialnych za sabotowania ostatnich wyborów w USA.

A dozen Russian military intelligence officers were indicted Friday on charges they hacked Democrats’ computers, stole their data and published those files to disrupt the 2016 election — the clearest connection to the Kremlin established so far by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of interference in the presidential campaign.

The indictment against members of the Russian military agency known as the GRU marks the first time Mueller has taken direct aim at the Russian government, accusing specific military units and their named officers of a sophisticated, sustained effort to hack the computer networks of Democratic organizations and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Spoiler!

Jonathan Lemire of the Associated Press was the reporter who asked Trump bluntly: “Who do you believe” about Russian election interference — Putin or U.S. intelligence? Trump initially spun some conspiratorial nonsense about missing Democratic computer servers and Hillary Clinton emails. And then this unforgettable statement:

“My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be. . . . I have confidence in both parties.”

“It was unbelievable,” said a stunned Will Hurd, a Republican congressman from Texas and former CIA officer. “I would never have thought I’d see an American president being played by a foreign adversary in that way.”

You could argue charitably that Trump was just being polite and didn’t want to offend the Russian leader standing next to him. But that doesn’t excuse how Trump chose to end the news conference, by attacking former FBI special agent Peter Strzok as a “disgrace” and calling the Russia investigation a “total witch hunt” — while the man who our intelligence agencies say ordered the covert-action assault looked on.

Direct questions have a way of eliciting telling behavior, even from practiced liars. That’s the theme of a book called “Spy the Lie” by three former CIA officers. They argue that a well-trained observer can detect deception without wiring the subject to a polygraph machine. One sign is verbal deflection, as in Trump’s immediate, spurious mention of missing servers and emails; another is visible stress on the subject’s face, as some might describe Trump’s smirks and grimaces. Taken together, such indicators can reveal deception.

As Trump said, “this will probably go on for a while,” before special counsel Robert S. Mueller III delivers conclusive evidence. But Mueller already took the Russia investigation to a new level with Friday’s indictment of 12 GRU military-intelligence officers for seeking to manipulate the 2016 campaign by working with co-conspirators “known and unknown.”
