  1. Trump's inauguration was celebrated jubilantly in Moscow, where Putin supporter Konstantin Rykov hosted an all-night party. Champagne flowed as an interpreter narrated the new U.S. president's speech. In Washington, the Russian Embassy tweeted, "Happy #InaugurationDay2017!" with a photo of people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The optimism was part of a larger embrace by Russia of Trump's "America First" outlook, which emphasizes U.S. business interests and national security over promoting freedom and democracy,  said Ilya Zaslavskiy, a researcher who has worked with the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative. Amid a busy schedule in Washington, Titov — who was appointed by Putin to serve as a business ombudsman — told a Russian television station that new investment was likely to flow to Russia once the Obama era U.S. sanctions were lifted. Businesses "are waiting for this signal, and they believe it will soon come," he said

  2. Trump admitted to being a Russian asset in Helsinki as he stood next to Putin. And now we've learned from the report, that Trump and his people were not only fully aware that Russia was meddling in the 2016 election, but Trump and his people actually encouraged it. I'll stop calling Trump a Russian asset when he finally stands-up for America, and condemns Putin for engaging in cyber-espionage against America during the election. In other words, I'll be calling Trump a Russian asset for the rest of my life. Trump, Kushner, Don Jr, and his other cohorts are Russian assets, willingly or unwillingly.  They are all compromised. And they became compromised the moment they starting having secret meetings with Russian officials/agents, and not reporting it. They then lied about those meetings when asked, which only confirmed to the Russians that Trump and his cohorts were willing to protect them by lying to FBI and to the American people.  To any Russian spy, that's a victory. The Russians were able to infiltrate and compromise Trump and his inner circle, by exploiting their hubris, their insatiable greed, naivety, lack of patriotism,  and by exploiting Trump's malignant narcissism. Trump and his people presented themselves as easy targets.
