#Russia is trying to collect while it still can, and could still sink #Trump, at least until inauguration.

Trump’s behavior at the #Helsinki summit reflects lashing from Putin after Rod #Rosenstein slyly alerted Putin that #Mueller knew certain things that Trump wouldn’t fully understand.

Putin has receipts.

Mueller hinted he knew what some of them are.

Russia Attempts to Collect Its Winnings - emptywheel

Russia has been engaged in a whole bunch of dick-wagging since Trump won the election. That's likely because the last time they helped Trump get elected, he deferred on and then failed to deliver his side of the bargain.

@rameshgupta @aquarius1842 @emptywheel so if, and this is a massive if, russia did manipulate the election, and if trump doesn’t do what they want, could they reveal that manipulation before he is certified as punishment?

I don't think anything can dislodge #Trump now. Putin can make things difficult for us by fomenting trouble, but Trump is untouchable IMO.

@rameshgupta @aquarius1842 @emptywheel interesting. So is that why one of putin’s aides threatened trump with assassination? Perhaps they feel they cannot touch him, as you say, in any other way.
