The Russians and Mar-a-Lago

 Newsweek - Russian media personalities have defended Trump and also said that the classified documents were reviewed by Moscow officials. Last week, during the Russian TV news program 60 Minutes, military expert Igor Korotchenko echoed Trump's assessment of the FBI raid, calling it a "witch hunt." Korotchenko said that "as the most popular politician in the United States" Trump was "chosen as such a witch."

"They won't just be vilifying him, they will be strangling him. These raids, involving dozens of FBI officers and police dogs...This is a symbol of inordinate despotism," the Russian military expert added.

Over the weekend during a segment on a state-owned Russia-1 television channel, a host discussed the raid and said Russians had access to the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.

"Turns out that the investigation against Trump has to do with the disappearance of secret documents from the White House, related to the development of nuclear weapons by the U.S.," host Evgeny Popov said. "The FBI isn't saying what kinds of weapons, or what they found in Trump's estate. Obviously, if there were any important documents, they've been studying them in Moscow for a while."

Omg. Well… rabble rousing IS an international sport.
Do you think it’s true or fodder for anxiety?

If what the Russians say is true, and I rather doubt it, Trump should be executed for treasson.
