Please listen to me and take to your viewers and listeners what I am about to say. We are holding discussions with our American friends and partners, people who represent the government by the way, and when they claim that some Russians interfered in the U.S. elections, we tell them (we did so fairly recently at a very high level): "But you are constantly interfering in our political life."

Would you believe it, they are not even denying it. Do you know what they told us last time? They said, "Yes, we do interfere, but we are entitled to do so, because we are spreading democracy, and you are not, and so you cannot do it." Do you think this is a civilized and modern approach to international affairs?

Personally, I think the whole idea of U.S. government officials prosecuting foreigners for "interfering" in U.S. elections is a joke.

Mueller has to do something to make it look like he’s earning his pay. Ham sandwich at it’s finest. He knows he will never be able to take them to trial so he does not have to worry about that meddlesome detail called “discovery”.

Correct. The fair and balanced response by Putin would be to indict and charge 12 US officials for spying and interfering in Russian elections.

Mueller wants to play petty international politics to make a lame swipe at Trump?

Two can play at that game.
