I thought he got them when he was nominated. Didn't realise there had to be 2 nominees. Nonetheless, he should not get them.

He gets them Monday, which means Putin gets them Monday evening.

The CIA and FBI need to investigate right now.

The Russkies know there will be info traps after these revelations and probably won't take any action for many months to many years.

Perhaps not disinformation, but the possibility of not giving him ALL the information. He has absolutely no control over his own mouth. I don't think he'd pick up the phone to call Putin; he'd just blab classified information at a campaign rally or something.

I imagine and don't know that the decision resides in the executive branch

If it's not Constitutionally called for, then Trump can eat static.

Both are effing dangerous and Trump is playing into Putin's hands with this kind of rhetoric and his anti-NATO stance. Can't wait to hear his opinion on the UN and the ICC.
