Putin: Don't Release My Calls With Trump

Russian thug Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier today that the Kremlin hopes that transcripts of phone calls between Putin and his U.S. asset, demagogue and con man Donald "The Chosen One" Trump would remain private, as the Associated Press reports:

"Asked if Moscow is worried that the White House could similarly publish transcripts of Trump’s calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that 'we would like to hope that it wouldn’t come to that in our relations, which are already troubled by a lot of problems.'”

That would certainly reveal the nature of the kompromat that the Kremlin has over Trump, whether it's financial dealings and/or promises he's made that would undermine U.S. national security. Unlike the situation with Ukraine, it would probably involve reverse shakedowns with Trump being the target.

Trump has a history of concealing conversations he's had with Putin, most notably at the Helsinki summit in the summer of 2018 and at the G-20 meeting in Hamburg, where he actually confiscated the interpreter's notes. Trump is adamant about keeping those private conversations out of public view, because they likely involve wrongdoing. The same can be said regarding his private meetings with such autocrats as Crown Prince Mohammed bin "Bone Saw" Salman of Saudi Arabia, North Korea's murderous tyrant Kim Jong Un,  and Turkey's strongman Recep Erdoğan.

In the whistleblower complaint regarding the Trump-Zelensky call, it was revealed that a secure system intended for code-word level intelligence was improperly used by White House staff to hide unclassified transcripts of Trump's improper communications with foreign leaders. How many more of these mob boss-like shakedowns are reflected in the calls? How many times has Trump put his personal political and financial interests above national security? We may not find out through the present impeachment inquiry, but at some future point they'll be made known, and further mark Trump as thoroughly corrupt and treasonous.
