Susan, you make a great point about the story might be a cover up or there is a larger story at play. I tend to think you might be close thinking that they made a big deal about pulling him to make Putin think he's safe... Or maybe Putin suspected a guy close to our real asset so we had to play like the fake mole is our mole, leaving our true asset in play. Because reporters have to know that Putin also sees our news so why would they even report on it unless its a planted story.

Oh, Trump always signs things with sharpies and he sells them online saying official Trump presidential seal.

One day they will make a movie about this cluster F of this presidency and too bad folks that made such great comedies like Blazing Saddles, Monty Python, aren't around to put this to the big screen.

i cant stand how Siraj is constantly interrupting Rabia and how he pretends not to understand Rabia's points. So condescending at times as well. He has a great voice, but I don't like listening to him.
