Imagine what will come out when he walks out that door on January 20th.

[dirkbonesteel]

Horrible as this is just wait until we figure out what trump and Putin have been talking privately about for over 4 years

[Fich-jb]

What breaks my heart is that the Republicans are helping them. Unbelievable

[craigshagin]

There is only one question to discuss: What are we going to do about it?

[Blueman]

Start with Trump, he's close to putin .he loves him.

[theowl]

Trump would say: "Putin very strongly denied it, so the U.S. Intelligence agencies must be lying"...!!!

[metalone]

Gee do you wonder who opened this access to Putin??

[electropanel]

Chris Krebs had the best security until he got fired thanks to this administration

[dreams]

I Putin refer to Trump as Pee Don, or Peed On?

[Healthy]

Putin knows that his puppet, Conald J Swamp, won’t challenge him.

[roybatty]

Anyone even remotely curious about those private get-togethers Trump had with Putin?

[allgotterer]

I don't think there's anything "virtual" about it.

[MusicGamesEverything]

The new battlefields are cyber battlefields and America is basically fighting with sticks and stones while its enemies fight with missiles.

[bp]

Trump's silence is a deafening endorsement of Putin and makes him complicit.

[gdhanley]

At least we have Space Force, and can still say Merry Christmas!! 😂😂😂😂

[elizabethagnese]

DR. MARY TRUMP SAID: "MY UNCLE IS TRAITOROUS, CRIMINAL, CRUEL AND DANGEROUS." THANK YOU FOR YOUR MINDFUL REPORTING.

[isidralopezortiz]

Don’t talk about classified information. For all we know our adversaries have our classified information.

[davidv]

Now I know why my computer has been leaking vodka.

[iadorenewyork]

Krebs, responsible for cyber security, was taken off the job prior to this. And Trump replaced various Pentagon officials recently. These changes are happening before this occurred, which could be related in some way.

[darrenengels]

If this is not an act of war, I don't know what would be.
