putin-trump summit

Working thread ahead of the putin-trump summit in helsinki on july 16 [Upated w/ almost surreal fallout]

Updates at the end of comments.

What we know (as opposed to Darth Cheney’s known unknowns) is that yesterday, Friday July 13 (Not april fools day, however), Deputy AJ Rod Rosenstein announced the indictment of 12 Russian members of GRU, a military intelligence agency, and that they had “corresponded with several Americans through the internet”, including an associate of the Trump campaign (assumedly Roger Stone).
