They are wrong.
Permission from 'the intelligence community' and/or 'the press boys they leak' to is NOT required.
(What are the intelligence boys and MSM afraid of? Does Putin have something juicy on one of their 'pets' or on them? Maybe stuff on Clinton or Bernie that will blow them out of the water? Maybe major betrayals of the United States by the people who are suppose to protect us? There's reason liberal elite globalists are scared to our President talking to Putin...)
How dare the POTUS not consult the Journalistic L.I.F.E.R. “brainworks” of the farm/swamp!
Of course they’re scared. They’re projecting on Trump what they themselves are guilty of doing. I have no doubt Putin has a ton of information on the Deep State’s collusion with many Russian entities over the decades. Those secret were protected as long as we elected a president from their “club”. This time we didn’t and that’s why they’re gripping big time. They have to get Trump before he gets them.
