Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.
In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.
Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”
Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.
Do these people have a multi-year brain lapse of this stuff? We suspected and had a good idea about this 4 years ago (and longer). And only now does Pelosi figure it out?
More reason to not have old farts around.
What makes you think she just figured it out? Good chance she was asked to not confirm it/talk about it publicly for some reason or didn’t feel like it was right do so. Why? No mother fucking clue (and I’m not defending her) but guaranteed people at the cia, fbi, etc have known about this for decades which would mean anyone with a security clearance probably knew as well.
Remember when we were the crazy conspiracy nut jobs because we “knew” russia helped get trump elected with a social media psy op campaign? Pepperidge farms remembers.
We all had a good idea about this when he first first ran for president. It’s been known since well before that as well.
