Sanders reported that President Trump is open to a proposal from Vladimir Putin to let Russian authorities question the former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul.

While Trump reportedly made no commitments to Putin, the Russian president offered to allow Special Counsel Robert Mueller to observe interrogations of the 12 Russian intelligence agents indicted by a U.S. grand jury last week for hacking Democratic Party email accounts.

Trump called it an “interesting idea” and an “incredible offer” at the news conference.

Sanders left the press corps dangling by concluding that:

"The president will work with his team and we’ll let you know if there’s an announcement on that front."


Great opportunity for Mueller to prove his case against the Russians.

Lol!

    Update: It appears Michael McFaul is really getting nervous, tweeting like a teenager on meth tonight:

    "I hope the White House corrects the record and denounces in categorical terms this ridiculous request from Putin. Not doing so creates moral equivalency between a legitimacy US indictment of Russian intelligence officers and a crazy, completely fabricated story invented by Putin"

    “Putin has been harassing me for a long time,” McFaul said on Twitter on Wednesday.

    “That he now wants to arrest me, however, takes it to a new level. I expect my government to defend me and my colleagues in public and private.”

    Christopher Stevens had that same expectation.

    Don’t get your panties in a wad, he has diplomatic immunity unless Trump waives it. That’s a bad precedent to set for so little in return.

    Absolutely fucking disgusting that this administration didn't immediately come out with a clear rejection of Putin's offer. Fucking. Disgusting.

    Ya think. Offering up political adversaries to hostile governments as trade bait.
    He's not even a political adversary. He's a career academic and sometime diplomat who worked for the Obama Administration on Russia policy, but who also helped set up the Carnegie Endowment's Russia branch under the supervision of Reagan's former NSC Policy Planning Director.

    I am sure the good Ambassador knows something about how Bill Browder got $1.5Billion out of Russia without paying taxes on it. Putin wants to talk have a chat on the subject.

    Right. He pulls this stunt and it's over for him. Done. Sell the fucking couch.

    Fucking book it.

    He'll be walking this shit back by tomorrow after he gets shit on by every real American there is. No fucking body except a ball gargler like Dud61 thinks there's any chance of this actually happening.

    Trump and Putin are teaming up to go after the deep state. Book it.
