I would think executive privilege would cover such a meeting.

If I were Trump I would say I would gladly let the interpreter answer questions about anything said in the meeting immediately after the dems subpoena Obama and ask him under oath and in a public session what he meant about having "more flexibility" after his last election when talking to Medledev.

You don’t want that 200.

They could get his tax records out though. Put in has something over him. That should be obvious by now.

Why not? If the dems want to know what Trump and Putin talked about, do we not have the right to know that Obama and Medledev talked about???

Be careful when you answer, your hypocrisy is showing.

They were probably talking about that crazy Threesome they had with those Russian hookers back in the day.... that stuff is not really made for public consumption!

JMU-

Did you watch that Helsinki presser???? Putin jumped up to that podium with a spring in his step and smile on his face, Trump was slack shouldered like he was going to the principals office. Go back and watch it. Pay attention to Putin's body langauge and Trump's. The demrring to him. When the question was put to his face he took Putin's siade versus our intelligence community. Could you imagine. Bush: Yeah I talked to Osama and he said he didn't do it. He was very forcefula nd powerful in his denial too. I believe him.

It's straight ludricous. Why don't we call a spade a spade and say the reason you guys don't think it was an attack is because you benefitted from it. You would feel totally differently I GAURANTEE you if the shoe was on the other foot. Then to have the Supreme Court changed because of it. Every single decision from here on out will be looked at from that lens. It's not a way to govern a country. YOU HAVE TO SEE THAT????

So you think Putin and Trump talked about his taxes?

"...It’s hard, in any event, to credit the Democratic Party, or its intelligentsia, when they pose as hawks. The New York Times? Its chairman, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., was once asked by his own father: “If a young American soldier comes upon a North Vietnamese soldier, which do you want to see get shot?” Replied the younger Sulzberger: “I would want to see the American get shot.” That story is related in “The Trust,” a venerable biography of the Times.

Mr. Trump blundered in suggesting an equivalency between Mr. Putin and our own intelligence services. It was not, though, as bad as President Obama having his envoy to the United Nations vote for articles of appeasement with Iran that Mr. Obama knew were opposed by both houses of America’s own Congress. Nor has Mr. Trump shipped plane loads of cash for Mr. Putin’s covert military operations against our allies the way the Democrats did for the ayatollahs...."

Trump doesn't have a trail of bodies in his past. Now his opponent in the 2016 presidential election, that's another story.

I too believe nonsensical email chains.

Just coincidence all them deaths huh. Silly goose

You honestly believe there's a line item in his taxes that state payment from Russia?

Haha!! Yep. The line in his taxes that is listed as:

Other Income:

Payment from Russian government for political influence/favors - $1,000,000

The Trump mafia are among the world's most brilliant money launderers, but Trump and his accountants could not figure out how to conceal the income from Vladimir Putin's payment. That was reported accurately.

I would think executive privilege would cover such a meeting.

If I were Trump I would say I would gladly let the interpreter answer questions about anything said in the meeting immediately after the dems subpoena Obama and ask him under oath and in a public session what he meant about having "more flexibility" after his last election when talking to Medledev.

So. Much. Whataboutism.

Actually, yeah. Unless of course you think it’s more likely there is a large secretive group of people willing to kill for Clinton who have all kept quiet about dozens of murders for decades. I know you want it to be true, but really, be an adult and use some reason here.

There is this recurring theme that his tax records would somehow contain some sort of smoking gun. That's absurd on several levels.

One, exactly what would you expect to discover in those tax records? You're going to get his 1040, which is going to consist of a bunch of numbers pulled from K-1s from various partnerships, S-Corps, and LLC's in which his properties are operated. That will tell you exactly nothing. And as far as getting the underlying partnership, S-Corp, and LLC returns, which is where the action would be (if there is any) neither Trump nor the IRS can legally disclose them without the consent of every single partner/shareholder/member. So that's not happening. Do I know this because I claim to have seen Trump's returns? No. So how do I know it? Because that's the way any competent tax attorney or accountant would have set up his affairs, and I'm quite certain he has competent people doing that for him.

Two, corollary to one, how many politicians have disclosed tax records over the years? What is the most significant thing found in any of them? Not much of anything that I can recall. You're not going to find what you are looking for in tax returns, either because it doesn't exist, or because tax returns aren't the place where you would find it if it did exist.

Three, carrying this even further, how often do you think Trump and his organization get audited by the IRS? I'm guessing just about every year. He's a wealthy, high-visibility individual, operating in an industry where there are a lot of tax shelters. And I'm guessing those IRS auditors are a whole lot more skilled at finding indicia of probable concerns than is the typical person who would look at Trump's returns and say, "OMG, look what he was doing." I'm guessing that if there were any money laundering or other funny business going on, we would already know about it.

The alternate applies here.
