Didn't report it back to the FBI. Amazing! Very very revealing.
And BOOM! at the end, actions speak louder than words.
Thanks for posting, very important points in this clip.

After trying for many years to expand his business empire into Russia, Abramson asserts, Trump visited Moscow in 2013 to personally meet agents of Russian President Vladmir Putin, using his beauty pageant as cover.
There, Abramson writes, a secret deal was struck: Putin agreed to open up his countrys rich real estate market to Trump, and Trump agreed to campaign for president while promoting pro-Russian policies.
Simple as that. And everything that has happened since the election hacking, Trumps improbable win and a special counsels investigation into his campaign and administration follows from that deal, in Abramsons telling.

The CORE NARRATIVE is simple, as Abramson wrote in a typically styled Twitter thread over the weekend. America was SOLD OUT by men who wanted POWER and were willing to trade U.S. POLICY to get it.

Trump, "I never had any connections to Russia."
