Sometimes I wonder if the public dissing of Russia/Putin (such as cancelling the meeting in Argentina with Putin, today) is for public consumption, due to the “Russia collusion” bulls***. Perhaps when that is over and done with and proven not only utterly false but a criminal ploy, public relations with Russia might warm up.

Thinking Putin has had his own experience with Cabal and bad folks, and he and POTUS are in league, acting for the bads to keep them confused. I have read, not recalling where, that Russians absolutely love Putin because he is Mr Rah Rah Russia and they are, gasp, patriotic.
Gotta keep the “ muh Russia collusion” out there to keep the “false” narrative going connecting it to Trump. In my screen writer’s mind (no, I am not one, nor have I played one on TV), when Mueller completes his task, which originally was to look into Russia’s attempts to interfere with the 2016 elections AND any matters that arise from the investigation, he will expose the DS, Hillary’s Russian Collusion, the Satan people who eat babies, bad players and the joke would be on them because bad comes to light and good wins.
This is what Mueller is tasked with investigating:
(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).

Boy, hope I read your query correctly. I may have just gone off on my happy tangent, thinking that Mueller and RR are converted black hats saving their skin because POTUS is BOSS and they cannot counter the Trumpnami.
I did not investigate the 28 CFR squiggle 600.4(a) in (iii) above.
I’ve said it before (this thread?) that Russia an now USA-under-Trump are the only “Western” nations standing in the way of a socialist OWG.
In this matter, yes, Trump and Putin are in league.

“The reference to 28 C.F.R. Section 600.4(a) authorizes Special Counsel Mueller to investigate and prosecute “federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel’s investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses.”
The Special Counsel’s conduct must comply with the rules, regulations, procedures, practices and policies of the Department of Justice, but he/she shall not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the Department. 28 C.F.R. Section 600.7(a) and (b). The Attorney General, or in this case Acting Attorney General Rosenstein since Attorney General Session is recused, “may conclude that [a Special Counsel] action is so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Department practices that it should not be pursued.” If the Acting Attorney General conducts such a review, he shall give the Special Counsel’s view great weight, and shall notify Congress if he reaches such a determination. 28 C.F.R. Section 600.7(b).”
