Putin wants Trump to hand over former U.S. diplomat for interrogation

[Jimmy Higgins]

I was on the road Tuesday. I listened to Hannity interview Trump on a talk radio station. It was ridiculous. I think an RT interview of Putin would be more honest.

And it even goes beyond your usual political hacking. Check out FOX News science reporting from a couple of days ago. There is a crack in a rock face popular with climbers that has caused the park service to close some spots in Grand Tetons National Park due to the rock fall hazard. Here is how FOX reports it:

Part of Grand Teton National Park near Yellowstone supervolcano closed after massive fissure opens.

That is complete with video of geysers and boiling hot springs to give the impression that the fissure in the rocks that they are reporting is boiling and a bellowing. So it scares the crap out of its viewers/readers for no reason and gets in a "volcanoes are the real cause of climate change" plug all at once. There isn't even one picture of the rock face or fissure about which they are actually reporting, just stock images of spewing guysers and such.

Here is a real article about the real closure:

Rockfall is a common occurrence in the Teton Range, and is a part of the naturally dynamic environment of mountains. As a relatively young mountain range, the Tetons are still rising and actively eroding. Over long periods of time, water flowing through minute fractures decomposes rock in a process called weathering.

Once a rock has been weathered, triggers such as freeze-thaw cycles, flowing water, temperature variations, vegetation growth, and other factors can cause cracks in rock to grow rapidly and possibly break free and fall.

Park staff are using multiple methods to monitor the situation. Time-lapse cameras have been installed which allow the scientists to view growth in the crack as well as any changes to the buttress at 15-minute intervals.

The crack in the rock has fuck all of nothing to do with any super volcano activity. However, in FOX land the volcano is going to blow any day now and cause global cooling.

So what you are saying is that we are all going to die because a massive fissure opened up near a super volcano.

Yes.

Not to hand over, just interview him. And Putin knows that's not gonna happen, he is doing it to remind that if US wants to interview people so is Russia. And Putin should have asked Clinton for interview, I suspect Trump would gladly hand her over

...and all because the liberals lied to us about the causes of climate change.

WTF??

President Donald Trump entertained a proposal from Vladimir Putin to let Russian authorities pose questions for the former U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday.

Trump made no commitments to the Russian leader when Putin raised the idea at a private meeting in Helsinki on Monday and is “going to meet with his team,” Sanders said.

Allowing the interrogation of a former American ambassador, who held diplomatic immunity while in Moscow, would be an unprecedented breach in protections traditionally provided to the nation’s foreign service.

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters Wednesday that such a grilling of a former diplomat “would be a grave concern to our former colleagues.” She said the Russians are making “absolutely absurd” assertions about 11 American citizens they want to question, although she declined to rule out the Russian proposal when asked about it repeatedly.
