Putin’s condition for Americans interrogating Russian operatives would be that Russian interrogators would also be able to come to America with the privilege of interrogating American operatives. At the same time, Putin said that some U.S. intelligence agents were involved in the transfer of $400 million from Russia to Hillary Clinton’s campaign (the next day Putin corrected a slip of the tongue – thousands, not millions of dollars).
The unprecedented arrival of Russian investigators to America and interrogation of secret agents of the FBI or the CIA is what Obama’s Deep State has in fact achieved. Trump was not ready for this turn of events; he was placed between a rock and a hard place.
...
Why did the leftists go crazy now, accusing Trump of all sins? Not only because they do not have a political alternative to Trump, but because the cacophony of their cries about Helsinki is due to paint a horrible picture of the possible future that Putin showed them. Imagine this– the interrogation of Clintonistas deeply embedded in U.S. intelligence, an interrogation that is conducted by notorious experts in questioning from the KGB/FSB headquarters at Lubyanka Square.
The primary task of leftists has now become preventing the exchange of prosecutors. What political price are they willing to pay for this?
P.S. The Russian intelligence services of Putin outfoxed the remnants of Obama’s U.S. intelligence services in the field of PR. However, immediately after the meeting in Helsinki, the U.S. dollar and the U.S. stock market rushed up, and the ruble and the Russian stock market fell (this trend has been going on for several days already). In other words, those people who turn trillions of dollars for a living, correctly understood who won the fight in Helsinki by words, and who won – by deeds.

Send Browder over as a free gift since he renounced US citizenship. Not our problem or concern.
Tell GB that's it's either Tommy Robinson goes free or Browder is on his way.
I really don’t see how this is such a big deal - if we expect to be able to go interrogate 12 Russian citizens, OBVIOUSLY we have to give them something, and their talking to some of our people in a Russian criminal case is an exact tit-for-tat. They aren’t trying to torture caught intel agents about intelligence operations, it’s criminal actions they might have done while in Russia (and one of them isn’t even a US citizen anymore!).
I don’t think it’s the best precedent to set, but what do people expect to happen when we try to charge 12 of their guys with (political) “crimes”? Russia to just hand them over, no questions asked, and then when they do the same, us to just ignore their request? And Russia be perfectly ok with that?
Hey, maybe we give Robinson US citizenship like we did to Russians during the Soviet Union days? We could then demand access, demand his release. Only problem is he needs freedom in England to help fix it, not refuge in the US.
