Drudge Powers Trump Counter-Attack on Russia [FR Mentioned]
The Daily Beast ^ | March 3, 2017 | Gideon Resnick and Ben Collins

Posted on 03/03/2017 1:01:37 PM PST by ConservativeMind

On Friday afternoon, President Trump tweeted an image of Senator Chuck Schumer standing next to Russian President Vladimir Putin. It depicts the two men seemingly cordially holding coffee and donuts.

“We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!” Trump wrote.

The image and the narrative framing itself is ripped directly from The Drudge Report, which included the picture and a related story at the top of its homepage on Friday.

The defensive posture from Trump and supportive media outlets is a response to the news on Thursday that Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he would be recusing himself from any investigations into the alleged ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Sessions recused himself after the revelation that he had spoken with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak—and told the Senate that he had no such contact with Kremlin officials.

Trump should have a team that does nothing but find skeletons on all these hateful dems and msm. Take some pointers from the opposition to make the playing field a bit more level.

Flashback: Chuck Schumer Meets with Putin in New York City

Jim Hoft Mar 2nd, 2017 7:10 pm

Where’s the outrage?

Democrat Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer continues to push the Russia conspiracy.

But it was Schumer who met with Putin in New York City – not Trump.

The picture above was taken in 2003 as Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, enjoys a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee with Senator Charles Schumer from New York as Putin visits the first New York gas station of the Russian company Lukoil.

The hysteria over Trump administration officials talking — or not talking — with Russia needs to end.

It’s getting in the way of putting America back on track.

Even better, now he is calling for a second investigation, Nazi Pelosi and her ties to Russia and lying about it.

Enjoy the following!

If you follow the regime closely it seems to me that they have a penchant for blaming us over and over for stuff that they do. In essence trying to reverse the hit they rightfully should be taking.
We were the ones who wouldn't let zero sign the budget bill,not his intransigence, we are the ones causing terrorism because of gitmo,not his incompetence,we caused all the problems zero had because of GW’s policies not lenient home borrowing with wide open banking rules and on and on and on it goes.
Now we are the ones who are traitors because we dared talk to any Russian any time any where.
Here's the truth Zero met the Russian Ambassador 22 times at the White House while he was potus, what was that all about.
Remember the open mike affair,zero to a high ranking Russian Russian official, “tell Vlad I'll have more flexibility after the elections—what in the world does that mean? and my favorite the Rense piece which probably tells it all.:

By Tom Fife
11-20-8
During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.

V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause - a cause she obviously was not abandoning.

One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.’s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions.

As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge - one her husband tried to quietly rein in.

The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:

“You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven't you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn't do it.”

The general response went something along the lines that you don't vote for someone just because of their sex. Besides, you don't vote for vice-president, but the president and vice-president as a ticket.

“Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon.”

The consensus we expressed was that we didn't think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.

“What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?”

The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, “Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.”

It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don't know.”

“Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call “Ivy League”. You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your President.”

She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly - as though all were foregone conclusions. “It's all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won't have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He's gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America.”

We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: they would give us a black president and he'd be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.

She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.

She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. “Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet.”

At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn't understand what the point was and don't recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.

Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: “If I remember correctly, ‘Barack’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘Blessing.’ That seems to be an odd name for an American.” She replied quickly, “Yes. It is ‘African’”, she insisted, “and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world.”

She continued with something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for Communism. America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.

So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?

Well, it's definitely anecdotal. It doesn't prove that Obama has had Soviet Communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it does show one thing that I think is very important. It shows that Soviet Russian Communists knew of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed Communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came personally to me from one of them long before America knew he existed.

Although I had never before heard of him, at the time of this conversation Obama was 30+ years old and was obviously tested enough that he was their anticipated rising star.
......................
Chances are good we were set up with ozero and the Chicago regime by the Russians and now they are trying anything they can to protect that secret and whatever little misdeeds he supposedly achieved by blaming Trump over and over for stuff “he” did. Sorry it ain't gonna work.

Was his name Barack from birth or did he change his name later in life. If he changed it was it before 1992?

As it was told to me by close freeper friend the poser now known at Barack actually took the real Obama’s place.The real obama fell out of a tree and died at age 13. They played games with the Hawaiian numbering system at the bureau of vital stats using dead babies numbers to pose him as Hawaiian.That’s why Fuddy has been missing since the plane crash no one knows where she is,by the way chances are good she’s not dead.

Where do you get your news from, CNN?

Sessions did not recuse himself to acquiesce to the Democrat demands.

He followed the law.

He also explained that many people, including his superiors may not know the law as well as he does and might not realize that he is supposed to recuse himself in matters involving the investigation of a campaign on which he worked.

However, CNN is misreporting that Sessions said he would recuse himself from the investigation of Russian influence.

He never said anything remotely like this.

It appears that the Democrats are struggling desperately to hide their illegal involvement with the Russians and need to “investigate” the supposed Russian hacking and election influence in order hide behind a friendly investigator.

When Sessions has to deal with the Democrat criminality involving Russia, they are going to claim it is related to the election and he must recuse himself. When he does not, they and the media will accuse him of breaking his pledge. But it is a pledge he never made.

I think it probably has to do with Russia gaining control over 20% of our Uranium while financial interests involved donated hundreds of millions to the Clinton slush fund. Perhaps there is more than this.
