Paul Whelans arrest poses opportunities for Putin and Trump opinion CNN

Lost on no one is the fact the arrest comes less than a month after alleged spy Maria Butina in an American court to engaging in a conspiracy against the United States. Many experts have whether Whelans arrest is part of an effort by Russian President Vladimir Putin to initiate a "spy swap" and have Butina returned to Moscow.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that "the American people should know were very focused on this at the most senior level of the United States Government." that US Ambassador to Russia John Huntsman paid a visit to the prison where Whelan is being held and that he spoke to the Whelan family, which says he was in Russia only for a vacation. President Donald Trump has yet to issue an official statement.

While there is no word yet of an official prisoner swap, and we dont know how Trump might respond to such an offer, there is a lot at stake for both world leaders. Indeed, a swap could prove politically beneficial to both Putin and Trump.

For his part, Putins success in freeing Butina would potentially ward off continued embarrassment that has resulted from the public exposure of the alleged spys efforts. In her plea agreement, to forge relationships with powerful US political officials for the benefit of the Russian Federation. She has yet to be sentenced, but will likely face some jail time.

for attempting to infiltrate American society with spies working without diplomatic cover, any instance in which their efforts are exposed serves as a black eye for a country whose intelligence services remain among the most proficient in the world.

Dispensing with Butina would also potentially serve to benefit Trump and his political party. The alleged spy stands accused of working to infiltrate the GOP and groups, like National Rifle Association, of a Russian leader. One Republican activist Paul Erickson faces for his association with Butina, and she has agreed to cooperate with law enforcement on any investigations in which she might be useful. Booting her out of the country would effectively end that ongoing cooperation, possibly sparing the GOP from any new revelations of wrongdoing by its members.

Not only is Butina likely to be used as a bargaining chip, but the return of Whelan to the United States would be an added political boon for Trump. If past is prologue, the reality television host turned President will no doubt seek to exploit the return of a former Marine.

Who can forget the air of suspense that was created as Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, the release of three hostages from North Korea last May? Trump did the same with the release of an American pastor in Turkey last October tweeting incessantly about the case and the released victim before cameras in the Oval Office.

To be clear, the release of these prisoners was a blessing. And the President certainly deserves credit for his work in securing their return. However, he simply cannot help but politicize these solemn occasions whenever they occur. I expect nothing less with Whelan.

Without question, returning the former Marine to the US is something we all want. The , so there is little doubt in my mind he is simply caught up in international gamesmanship.

And as someone who has worked many international kidnapping investigations, I know that the families of those detained couldnt care less about the reasons behind the release of their loved ones. They simply want them back.

However, as many of us continue to watch the Trump Putin relationship with great suspicion, we cannot lose sight of the various ulterior motives that could be at work here, even as we look forward to welcoming Whelan home.

Republicans Scramble To Hire Lawyers To Fight Possible Trump Impeachment - Duration: 4:16.

According to Axios report, or Mike Allen, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee

have actually posted a job opening within the judiciary committee for a lawyer, somebody

with Supreme Litigation experience, because Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee

are already taking a defensive position, preparing for a possible Donald Trump impeachment.

Hearing.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee want to hire a lawyer or possibly multiple

lawyers to go ahead and fight off Donald Trump's impeachment hearings that may or may not even

happen at this point.

So there's several things to take away from this.

First, it could just be that Republicans are acting preemptively.

Maybe they had some foresight and thought, you know what, this is something we need to

do just to cross the t's and dot the i's.

It could be that these republicans know for a fact the Democrats are planning impeachment

and they may have a pretty solid case.

Could be either one of those.

But here's what it definitely tells us.

It tells us that impeachment is not going to happen.

And I say that because I'm not thinking Republicans are going to get a great lawyer here by any

means.

Um, I'm saying that because they're defensive position here, they're preemptive defensive

position shows that they're not going to go along with the Democrats should they choose

to impeach.

And that's, that's kind of the end of it.

If we can't get some Republicans to jump ship, we can't impeach.

We can't remove from office.

And I know this is the house judiciary committee looking for lawyers, not the Senate, but if

we can't flip people in the house, how in the hell are we going to flip 15 people in

the Senate?

It's not going to happen now.

That doesn't mean that it couldn't happen.

Let me, let me rephrase it like that.

It's obviously something that could, right?

I mean, if enough evidence were to emerge and that evidence was damning enough and it

showed very severe corundum a criminal conduct by Donald Trump.

Yeah, you could probably get Republicans to go ahead and go along with it.

If not, we're going to be looking at a situation like we looked at with Bill Clinton in the

late nineties.

House votes to impeach Senate doesn't vote to convict because no Democrats were willing

to jump ship and go with the Republicans to get him out of office at what happened after

that.

Clinton's approval rating went through the roof, through the roof after he was impeached

by the house.

Could we be looking at a similar situation with Democrats in the House of Representatives?

It's possible, but I don't think at this point there's enough or really any republicans willing

to cross that line and say, you know what?

I think you're right.

I think impeachment is the way to go.

And even after we get the evidence, after the Mueller report comes out, after we get

more evidence from these New York investigations and now the FBI investigation into Trump hiring

undocumented immigrants and handing them greencards fake green cards and fake social security

numbers up in Bedminster.

There's a lot of investigations that could yield impeachable offenses.

In fact, based on what we know right now with the, uh, campaign finance violation, he's

already committed an impeachable offense and Republicans don't seem to care.

The next two years are going to be very trying.

And I don't know that regardless of what comes from these investigations, that there will

ever be enough Republicans in Washington dc with the fortitude and the courage and the

wherewithal and the actual desire to protect the institutions of the United States to jump

ship and remove this man via impeachment as it stands right now, I don't see that happening

at all.

Mitt Romney Is Not A "Resistance Hero," So Stop Praising Him For Calling Out Trump - Duration: 3:46.

For the last several days after Mitt Romney pinned his exceptionally weak op-ed critiquing

Donald Trump for not using manners, um, there've been too many on the left.

And in fact, MSNBC is probably the biggest culprit here on the left, trying to make Mitt

Romney a hero.

I mean, hell, MSNBC had a graphic yesterday that referred to Mitt Romney is one of the

new mavericks coming into the US Senate.

Yeah.

This 71 year old millionaire.

A worth $250 million, I think.

Uh, yeah.

He has the new maverick.

He's going to be the savior of the left in the Senate because he didn't like the way

Donald Trump spoke to people.

Mitt Romney is not a hero.

Mitt Romney is not a turncoat.

He's not a trader to Republicans, which is what Fox News is trying to say.

Everybody right now is trying to put some kind of label on Mitt Romney and it's either

hero of the resistance on Msnbc or a traitor to the Republicans over on Fox News.

The truth is that neither of those are true.

Mitt Romney admitted so himself in the actual op-ed that I'm assuming at this point, nobody

took the time to read.

The man clearly said that he agrees with the policies of Donald Trump.

He agrees with the deregulation.

He agrees with the packing of conservative justices for lifetime appointments onto our

courts, reshaping those for generations.

He agrees with the tax cuts.

He agrees with the hard line stance on immigration and MSNBC is dumb enough to sit there and

put them on a graphic and say he's the new maverick.

Thank God I don't watch that network because I'm pretty sure I would have a stroke anytime

I turned it on.

Luckily there's people on twitter who posts these screenshots talking about how ridiculous

it is and that's how I find out what MSNBC is talking about.

Same thing with Fox News, but this is insanity.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mitt Romney is not a hero to anyone.

Mitt Romney is out there for Mitt Romney and he's going to be just like jeff flake or John

McCain.

He's going to talk a big game in public or in this case in writing.

I doubt Romney would ever say these words out loud and then he's going to go to the

Senate and he's going to do it.

McCain and flake did, and he's going to vote with him 87% or more of the time, just like

every other republican out there.

There's going to be no difference in voting record.

There is no difference in policy whatsoever.

Romney, he admitted it.

He just doesn't like the way Trump says things and he was a little too harsh.

Maybe use some manners, maybe some pleases and thank you's thrown out there.

That's it.

That was Romney's critique, and if you're dumb enough to think that that makes him some

kind of hero of the anti Trump resistance, then you obviously don't understand how devastating

all of these policies that Romney is pushing our to this country because when it comes

to policy, there is no difference between a Mitt Romney, John McCain, when he was still

in the Senate.

Jeff Flake, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul or Donald Trump.

Every one of them wants to do the exact same things.

It's just that some of them aren't willing to go on twitter and insult another human

being's intelligence.

Literally, the only difference between Trump and every other republican in Washington DC.

Jerry Falwell's Idiot Son Attacks Poor People To Defend Donald Trump - Duration: 4:07.

On Tuesday, The Washington Post published an interview with Jerry Falwell Jr, the president

of Liberty University, after his father passed away, one of the leaders of the modern day

religious right where fall well in this interview continued to talk about the fact that the

morals of the president do not matter that poor people are actually the bad guys here

and Donald Trump, the man who poops and a golden toilet is somehow closer to Jesus than

the poor people that we continue to screw over as a country.

Now fall well has taken a lot of heat for this particular interview.

People are pointing out the hypocrisy and how everything that he said literally goes

against the exact teachings that are in the Bible, but here's the thing, and I've seen

some people talk about this, but not enough.

Since day one, the religious right has been a fraud since day one.

Honest to God, go back and read Frank Schaefer's books.

Every book that this man is a written.

Every article that Frank Schafer has put out there, they tell a story of a movement built

on fraud, built on deception, and not even close to being anything that resembles religion.

Frank Schafer has been telling us this for years.

What Jerry Falwell Jr is out there saying right now is legitimately what the religious

right actually believes, proving they're neither religious nor right, but they still are able

to herd people into those mega churches, tell them that Democrats are evil, that poor people

are evil, and that this billionaire who has cheated on every wife he's ever had, who continuously

insults people who continuously antagonizes people who are hostile to this country and

would wish harm upon us.

That somehow this man is closer to Jesus Christ.

Then the party that's out there trying to protect the environment that according to

the religious right God created for us and we're pissing all over it.

They're out there trying to feed the hungry and clothe the naked things that are expressly

mentioned in the Bible that we, if we want to get into heaven, have to do.

That's actually what it tells us in the Bible.

I guess Jerry Falwell hasn't gotten around to reading that one particular book that he

has based his entire life off of because here's the thing, follow hasn't based his life off

anything in that Bible Falwell has based his life, just like his daddy did, just like Pat

Robertson did, just like all of these other frauds are doing.

They're basing their life on how much money they can out of naive religious folk.

That's what they do.

That's their game plan.

That's their business model and it's worked out pretty well for him.

So far.

These guys pull in millions upon millions of dollars and they're not spending a dime

of it to help anyone in need.

There is nothing religious about these frauds running the religious right and this interview

with Jerry Falwell Jr is just the exclamation point on that fraud.

This doesn't expose it for the first time.

It doesn't expose their hypocrisy for the first time.

Those of us who've been paying attention and calling out the religious right for over a

decade, some like Frank Shaffer again who'd been doing it for several decades.

We've been calling it.

We've been saying this and hopefully the rest of this country wakes up and understands that

the religious right in every one who proclaims to be a leader of the religious right is 100%

a fraud.
