what i don t think is that he understands it. i don t think he understands how damning this intelligence is against russia, against putin. and their intelligence services. he just didn t get it. and this is what happens when you elect an amateur to the presidency. you run into this thing. but he is particularly stub brorn. i suspect he has an aging mind and can t absorb new facts. and he also has financial interests really, bob, really? i do. yeah. he also has financial interests to putin. there is no evidence of those two things, but continue. you look at the guy, for me it is enough. he cannot be convince the by his own intelligence services when the information is so good there is something wrong here. it is either he is speaking in behalf of putin as a business partner, and they do have business associations which go
