    Again, someone involved in RU attack told me 14 hours after polls closed of a move on Syria. This is payoff to Putin for election assistance. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/as-russians-describe-verbal-agreements-at-summit-us-officials-scramble-for-clarity/2018/07/18/8bb1e96c-8aa7-11e8-a345-a1bf7847b375_story.html …pic.twitter.com/aLN7h1fo6l

        Have you ever commented on how Trump administration’s “tough on Russia” actions in Syria have all been a smokescreen?

        This has long been a suspicion of mine, but your disclosure about your guy has reinforced the idea that they had a game plan, including on how to market it.

        Puzzled. If U.S. opts not to pursue regime change in Syria, next logical move is to seek accommodations with regional powers. This wasn't difficult to predict. Seems a stretch to regard such accommodations as prima facie evidence of a payoff for election assistance.

        I know this has never been prosecuted (probably never a case for it), but if there is a Quid-Pro-Quo on Syria, then how likely are we to see Logan Act Violation charges come up? 0%, 25%, 75% chance?

        But the U.S (and many other countries military ) shouldn't be in Syria anyways?

        Out of curiosity, what’s your take on Dem proposals to subpoena the Helsinki interpreter to testify before Congress? It’s fairly unprecedented, but I honestly can’t think of another way to find out what actually happened in that meeting...

        It's unprece-fucking-dented to have a US president who acts as a controlled Russian asset & is at no liberty to even criticize Putin for hacking US elections, much less to rebuff his demands. Not just Mueller; the entire country needs to know what Trump conceded to Putin.

        She doesn't. She's a very good analyst but I've noticed more and more leaps of logic in her writing the more I read her. The facts are notable, the absolutist conclusory statements are trouble.
