TRAITOR Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Their Relationship!

 

I have written several times on this blog about the deep, unbreakable relationship between TRAITOR Trump and Vladimir Putin.  I have also written several times about the incredible writing and honest reporting of Yale University history professor Timothy Snyder.  This link will take you to several posts about the work of Timothy Snyder who, in my opinion is the greatest historian and author of history and political science based books we have in America today.  Timothy Snyder does a far better job of explaining or illustrating the dangerous and TREASONOUS depth of the relationship between the two.  Every voter in America should read Snyder's books "On Tyranny" ,  "The Road To Unfreedom", and "On Democracy".  All three are among the most important books in print in America today.  And all three are on the list of books that TRAITOR Trump, his campaign staff, and Vladimir Putin hope that no American will read.  The reasons for that is that the books are honest, accurate, well documented history of the danger TRAITOR Trump presents to both America and the world. 

Since I began writing this blog post, an incredible story has broken in the news media about TRAITOR Trump and Vladimir Putin.  Bob Woodward has just released a new book called "War"  in which he writes about information provided to him by a TRAITOR Trump staffer who stated that TRAITOR Trump had provided Covid equipment to Putin secretly very early in the pandemic while he was doing nothing about the onrushing US pandemic. The book also reports that TRAITOR Trump has made at least seven telephone calls to Putin since the inauguration of President Biden and would sometimes tell staffers to leave the room since he had "to have a private conversation with President Putin".  This book, written by one of the men responsible for the Watergate disclosures which ended the presidency of Richard Nixon, has made allegations which should ensure that TRAITOR Trump is prosecuted for violations of both the Logan Act and the  Espionage Act.  This is just one more "smoking gun" about the TREASON of TRAITOR Trump.  It is absolute proof of what I and dozens of other intelligent writers and politicians have been telling the world about TRAITOR Trump for many years.  HE IS A TRAITOR OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIA!  Based on what Bob Woodward has said in his book, you cannot defend TRAITOR Trump on any level.  He must be prosecuted ! He must be convicted!  He must be imprisoned for the rest of his life!  This country is not safe so long as he is alive and outside a maximum security prison.  Below is just  a portion of the story as it has been reported by CBS News: 

"Even after leaving office, Trump has stayed in touch with the Russian president, according to Woodward. An unidentified aide told Woodward the former president had as many as seven private calls with Putin — although Woodward noted he was unable to speak to Trump or Putin to verify the calls happened, and he was wasn't able to confirm the calls through the Trump campaign or intelligence sources.  But according to the aide, one of the calls came early this year, when Trump was urging Republicans to block additional aid to Ukraine to help the country's fight against Russia.  The newly revealed contacts raise additional questions about Trump's relationship with Putin. In a recent presidential debate, Trump twice refused to say who he wanted to prevail in the war between Russia and Ukraine." (CBS, October 8, 2024) 

This is damning information from a journalist who has moved within the circles of world power for over fifty years and whose work with Carl Bernstein led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, the successful prosecution of the Watergate figures, and has made both of these men household words in America and the world ever since.  Woodward's ethics and honest are impeccable and unimpeachable.  This is, or should be, the last nail in the public coffin of TRAITOR Trump and his collusion with Vladimir Putin.  I am certain every US intelligence agent in the world has now been directed to follow this story to whatever sordid place in which the ultimate truth of it is hiding.  It is about Espionage!  It is about TREASON!  It is about TRAITOR Trump's collusion with the worst enemy the United States of America has in the world!

In a slight aside, let me say that if you want to understand the nature of the relationship between TRAITOR Trump and Vladimir Putin, all you have to do is study and come to understand the body language in the photograph above.  It was shot at the G7 Summit in Helsinki at the press conference after TRAITOR Trump had just met with Vladimir Putin in a meeting without US interpreters.  He came out of that meeting with the above hangdog face while Putin was trying hard to stifle a grin at whatever they had just said to each other.  In the press conference, TRAITOR Trump disputed the findings of all 17 US intelligence agencies and stated that he believed Putin when he said that Russia had not interfered in the US election. That photograph, that meeting, that relationship, and that lie from TRAITOR Trump have been discussed many times in many places by thousands of journalists, US intelligence agents, common US citizens, and nearly every world leader since then, and almost universally by everyone who has ever rendered an honest opinion about it, it has been assessed as being a photograph of an American minion of the Russian president telling a lie to please his owner.  The most honest of all those opinions and the best documentation of proof to support his opinion about that relationship has consistently come from Timothy Snyder, both on his Twitter or X account and in his several books about the rising specter of Fascism in the world today.  It has also been discussed many times by other historians and journalists in their writings.  This is a CNN article on the topic from June of 2018.  This is a 2021 article from the New Zealand Herald discussing TRAITOR Trump's insistence three years after the news conference that he still believes Putin over US intelligence.  

In Defense Of Bob Woodward!

Yesterday, American investigative reporter Bob Woodward and his publisher, Simon and Schuster, released several damning details of the interviews with TRAITOR Trump on which the upcoming book "Rage" by Woodward is partially based.  Those details included the fact that on tape TRAITOR Trump admitted that he had lied about how serious Covid 19 could be and as a result of those lies, at this point, nearly 200,000 innocent American victims have died.  Yet, many Americans are blaming Bob Woodward more than they are TRAITOR Trump which is completely baffling to me.  It is one of the most asinine cases of blaming the messenger I have ever seen.

Bob Woodward has gone on the record with several discussions of his reasoning for not releasing that information as soon as he had it on tape and his reasons make perfect sense from both a journalistic and political point of view. In interviews with the Washington Post and Associated Press, Woodward stated: "He tells me this, and I’m thinking, 'Wow, that’s interesting, but is it true?' Trump says things that don’t check out, right?" Woodward told AP, referring to Trump's habit of stretching or misrepresenting the truth. And he said he had to determine, "What did he know and when did he know it?" borrowing a phrase from his reporting for The Post on the Watergate break-in. The gist of that statement, based on at least forty years of the known history of TRAITOR Trump is that TRAITOR Trump always lies.  He would rather lie fifty times than tell the truth once.  No reputable journalist on earth, and especially Bob Woodward with his distinguished career of more than fifty years at the highest levels of American journalism, would stake their reputation on anything TRAITOR Trump told them without attempting to verify it from a more credible second, or even third, fourth, or fifth source.  TRAITOR Trump lies daily, hourly, just as automatically as he breaths. He has proven daily that he only hires people who will also confirm and support his most egregious lies with lies of their own. His entire life has been built on lies  His propensity to lie and to function without a moral compass has been verified by both his sister, retired federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, who has even been recorded by their niece on tape discussing his lack of honesty and principles.  The niece,  Mary L. Trump, a licensed doctoral level psychologist, conducted the interviews with her aunt for her book "Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created The World's Most Dangerous Man".  When two such highly credentialed members of a person's immediate family use such terms to describe the person in question, you should believe them.  You should also believe Bob Woodward when he says he was waiting for verification of the things TRAITOR Trump was telling him.

But I also believe there are other even more compelling reasons Bob Woodward was considering when he waited to disclose what he knew.  Bob Woodward rose to fame as a young reporter for the Washington Post when he and his associate Carl Bernstein cracked the Watergate case by conducting clandestine interviews with Mark Felt, the Associate Director of the FBI, which they kept secret for decades until Felt himself, whom Woodward and Bernstein had dubbed Deep Throat, disclosed that he was indeed the secret informant whose work with the two writers had led to the disgrace and resignation of Former President Richard Nixon and the successful criminal prosecution of the Watergate burglars who were all in the employ of Nixon. No one on the face of the earth has more experience or more success than Bob Woodward in handling a cooperating witness or a loquacious felon and pathological liar such as TRAITOR Trump. I believe that Bob Woodward knew full well that he already had damning self confessions from TRAITOR Trump about his refusal  to do anything about the Corona Virus pandemic.  But I also believe that Bob Woodward believed quite appropriately that if he handled TRAITOR Trump well he might also get a confession from TRAITOR Trump of his TREASON with Russia and Vladimir Putin.  Bob Woodward was after bigger fish and his fishing expeditions were fully justified.  Don't blame Bob Woodward for doing excellent work.  Blame TRAITOR Trump for having known about the pandemic and its danger and having chosen to do nothing about it simply because he has never and will never give a tinker's damn about the United States of America.  You should also understand that the United States of America will be fine so long as we send TRAITOR Trump to the federal prison cell which he has so richly deserved for so long on Bomber Row in Colorado with the other enemies of the country. And when he has completed his life sentence, we need to bury him beside Osama Bin Laden.
