Key paragraphs:
“President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.
Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trump’s actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.
....
It is not clear whether Trump has taken notes from interpreters on other occasions, but several officials said they were never able to get a reliable readout of the president’s two-hour meeting in Helsinki. Unlike in Hamburg, Trump allowed no Cabinet officials or any aides to be in the room for that conversation.”
It goes on to say that we know far more about what went on in these conversations from intercepted Russian communications than we do from our own president....including Russians disparaging Trump and his general ignorance.
Why would this be happening, wingnuts?

There.
.....I only wish Obama himself faced what he gave to his successor. Trump has had to clean up Obama’s messes in so many,many ways - the messes made by both incompetence and intention.

question.
You don’t negotiate with other leaders without any Americans present.
That’s the same shit he pulled when he met with the Russian ambassador, foreign minister and a translator they supplied in the OVAL OFFICE.
Yukking it up in the oval with the top spies in the Russian government. Mere coincidence
And what, exactly, was he afraid would leak? How can he rely on Putin’s interpretation of what happened, or what was discussed, and what was agreed upon?
Try again.
