The morning after FBI Director James Comey was fired, the White House announced that President Donald Trump would meet with Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.
Trump and Lavrov are expected to discuss Syria and the fight against terrorism in a follow-up conversation to Trump’s phone conversation with Vladimir Putin a week ago, according to the Washington Post.
Trump’s meeting with Lavrov will come less than 24 hours after Comey was let go as director of the FBI. At the helm of the FBI, Comey was leading the probe into potential ties between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russian officials. Comey’s firing prompted concern from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers about the probe into Russia’s election meddling.
Pootie sending someone to say to Drumpfie “you’re fired”???
(Hmmmm…wonder what the KGB/FSB gives as a “going away” gift…)
Of course. Trump has to report to his supervisor/handler.
Plus - now that Trump’s approval numbers are going to tank over the Comey firing - they need to map out Trump’s next manufactured crisis & bombing campaign in order to raise his popularity ratings again.
I’m no authority on espionage tradecraft, but I’m pretty sure agents aren’t to publicly announce when they meet with their handlers.
Lavrov is one of the characters in the Steele dossier. Not a pee hooker, btw. President doesn’t need to meet with foreign minister. He’s got SOS Tillerson for that. ARe Giuliani and Posobiec attending? They’re both in town. Giuliani as FBI Director?
Such a master-jedi strategist proving his cunning by meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister.
More proof that he knows more than all, a 64th dimensional chess player like no other.
