Holy crap. This may be the most effort I have seen you put into a post in years.
I am very interested in what he will do. You may give it short shrift, but it is a testable theory, that can make a prediction.
The prediction is that he will do nothing, or as close to nothing as he can. He consistently deals harshly, especially rhetorically, with just about every country but Russia.
I think his past shady business dealings are becoming leverage against him because people with resources and motivation to dig, such as large nation states like China and Russia, are going to come up with things that he would prefer not to be known. This would also explains both his refusal to release his taxes, and his retention of control of his business enterprises. If he cedes too much operational control of those businesses, the possibility of some of those financial records getting out goes up.

Republicans are risking becoming the party of Putin
Disgraced Repug version
Whether its leaders and members realize it, the Republican Party is at risk of becoming the Vladimir Putin-aligned party in the United States.
It can be convincingly argued that it’s already similar to Putin-supported parties in Europe, given Donald Trump’s presidency,
the Republican base’s increasingly favorable views of Moscow and the House GOP leadership’s disinterest in investigating and preventing Russian interference.
Increasingly sophisticated Russian influence and cyberoperations threaten Americans’ ability to choose their own leaders.
This isn’t hyperbole; in fact, it’s hard to overstate just how serious this issue is. Yet
President Trump continues to sow doubt about whether Moscow even interfered in the 2016 presidential elections and to suggest the question’s insignificance by ignoring it all together.
Our commander in chief seems more interested in protecting Moscow than he does in deterring its future attacks.
There are also reports that the White House plans to step up lobbying efforts against a new Russia sanctions bill that the Senate passed with overwhelming bipartisan support this month.
Worse, Trump appears to have some support in this from Republican leaders in the House. Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) have delayed the bill, citing the cons utional requirement that such bills originate in the House.
Ryan and McCarthy appear to be more interested in delaying and weakening the bill.
49 percent of Republican voters consider Russia to be either an ally or friendly. Only 12 percent consider it an enemy.
In 2015, only 12 percent of Republicans held a favorable view of Russian President Vladimir Putin,

34 Members Of Congress Just Demanded Investigation Into Trump’s Attorney General
After being stonewalled by the Justice Department, all 34 of the Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees today sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz demanding action.
They want Horowitz to investigate Attorney General Jeff Sessions for violating his promises to recuse himself from probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election and any involvement by President Trump and his campaign in colluding with Russia or covering it up.
“Since the Department has failed to respond to multiple previous inquiries on this matter – despite promising to do so – we now ask that your office investigate and report back to us with any findings and recommendations you determine are warranted,” said the letter.
In particular, the lawmakers want to know if Sessions violated DOJ protocol by being part of the decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.
“Regardless of which reason is true – that the President fired FBI Director Comedy because of his investigation into the Clinton campaign or his investigation into the Trump campaign – both matters were supposed to be off limits for the Attorney General,” declared the letter.
Sessions himself has told different stories while claiming he did not violate his recusal. He said one case involved the DOJ and the other the FBI.
However, the Democrats point out, both would be violations of his recusal pledge which was to cover “any existing or future investigations” into the presidential campaign.

“The actions of Attorney General Sessions,” says the letter, “in collaborating directly with President Trump to fire Director Comedy reflect a lapse in judgement by our nation’s top law enforecement official and appear to violate multiple promises made by the Attorney General and his aides.”

White House Just Revealed The Humiliating Way Trump Is Prepping For Putin Meeting
Ahead of Trump’s planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at next week’s G20 summit in Germany, the President has reportedly
told National Security Council staff to come up with “deliverables” to offer to his Russian counterpart.
Among these concessions would likely be the return of the two Russian diplomatic compounds in Maryland and New York that were ordered evacuatedby the Obama administration following Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
According to The Guardian:
There is strong resistance in the NSC and state department to one-sided concessions aimed simply at improving the tone of US-Russian relations.
There is also opposition within the administration to Trump’s preference for a formal bilateral meeting with Putin at the G20 summit in Germany,
as first reported by the Associated Press.
Given the fact that Russia not only has nothing to offer the United States, but is also the subject of an ongoing probe in the United States for attacking the foundation of our democracy, perhaps amassing a list of concessions that benefit only this hostile foreign power should not be our National Security Council’s priority at the moment.
“They have been asked for deliverables, but
there is resistance to offering anything up without anything back in return,”
said one former official familiar with the matter.
The Senate has pushed back against Trump’s cozy relationship with Moscow by passing legislation to codify sanctions against Russia. The bill has since gone to the House of Representatives from the Senate with unanimous consent. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned lawmakers in the House against trying to soften the bill.
“It’s critical, critical that Congress speak in a loud, clear and unified voice to [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin. I want to put the House on notice. If they water-down this bill, weaken the sanctions, add loopholes to the legislation, they will find stiff resistance here in the Senate.”
Despite resistance from Congress, the American people, and even his own staff, the fact that Trump is still willing to kowtow to Russia is a clear indication of where his priorities lie.
terrible optics for a White House that seems to be making little to no effort to distance itself from the foreign adversary

That story about that guy trying to get Clinton emails and who claimed to know Flynn is riveting. Conveniently dead.
