Now Congress faces a very hard question: Subpoena President Donald Trump’s translator, or not?
On Saturday, The Washington Post’s Greg Miller reported new details of the extreme things done by Trump to conceal his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin from even the senior-most members of Trump’s own administration. Trump even reportedly seized the interpreter’s notes after one of his meetings, the Trump-Putin sit-down at the Hamburg G20 meeting in July 2017. Even more disturbingly, Trump and Putin met privately a second time at Hamburg—with no American present. In an act of astonishing recklessness, Trump relied entirely on the Russian interpreter, preventing any U.S. record-keeping at all.
All this would be unusual enough for any president. It is more than suspicious for a president being formally investigated by the FBI as a possible Russian-intelligence asset.

Grasping at straws
They are opening many cans of snakes that they are never going to be able to close. President Chelsea’s going to hate them for this.
Look up separation of powers and get back to us.
“Trump relied entirely on the Russian interpreter, preventing any U.S. record-keeping at all.”
That’s B.S.
There is no way they have rights to this material, to anything Trump says in conversations. These would be clearly covered by executive privilege. I presume this is Plan C to undermine Trump.

David Frum is an idiot.
They really hate our President Trump.
Why is it their business?
Trump even reportedly seized the interpreter’s notes after one of his meetings, threatened the interpreter's wife and children and shot his dog to show that he meant business.
So the Canadian Frum doesn't consider Trump an American?
No, they really really hate our President. There's two "really"s in that because they are so obsessed everyday. They wake up hating him and go to bed hating him.
They can’t even do that. I just read the DC is sending inspectors to make sure restaurants are obeying their ban on plastic straws.
I’m going to March for Life on Friday. Might take a handful and pass them out.
Frum is a Cheap Labor Express propagandist.
“David Frum -read no further.”
Precisely.
Congress has sign on door gone fishing send checks to lake.
Subpoena all correspondence leading up to the Kerry-Soetoro secretive dump of billions on unmarked bills to the Ayatollah. Make public the “golf and grandchildren” transcript of the tarmack meeting. Make public the 302s of the July 4th Hilary meeting the had her attorneys/fact witness in the same room.
Even more "extreme" than what Obama did to conceal the secret side-deals he made with Iran?

To even mention that our president is perhaps a Russian Intelligence asset is beyond the pale. What has become of our great nation to so openly disrespect our leader.
