What he meant to say is that he wouldn't allow it

My jaw actually dropped.
We really are a vassal state.

Putin is trolling us so hard...
They asked for be able to question Kyle Parker.... Kyle Parker a congressional aide whose only crime was drafting sanctions against Russia. This is Putin trolling hard. He's laughing at us right in our faces.

Well that's the treaty, isn't it? If we are requesting the interviewing of Russian citizens, they are allowed to do it back. These have been the terms since the 90s, if I'm not mistaken.
So.... fake outrage? How many times can someone shriek "traitorous" until it loses its effect? "Nazi" and "racist" already seem to be losing their efficacy, so I guess a new slur was needed.

We have no extradition treaty with Russia. These are the only countries we have extradition treaties with:

How many times can people be wrong, ignorant, and ill-informed yet continue to speak on things they didn't take 10 seconds to Google before opening their mouths.

Yup. tREEEEEEEEEEEEEEason!!!!!!
See above...
No country in the world has an extradition treaty with all other countries; for example,
the United States lacks extradition treaties with Russia, the People's Republic of China, Namibia, the United Arab Emirates, North Korea, Bahrain, and many other countries.[3][4] (See Extradition law in the United States.)

I was referring to the second part regarding outrage

I’ve read a number of versions of this story from multiple sites, and all I can say is:
Get him out.
Helsinki was the initial descent; this is the death spiral.
I’m all for improved relationships with Russia, but Trump is proving to be a complete nincompoop, and this is making Hillary’s Russian reset look like a masterstroke (which I struggled to type).
Putin is angling for an extradition treaty between the U.S. and Russia, and it’s laughable to think we’re even 1/50th of the way there.

The hill is fake news.
edit: to be more clear, and you can do this will all of the main stream media, look whats actually in quotes and whats not, whats not in quotes didn't actually happen. I suggest everyone always look at the source which doesn't require any of the media.

There should be outrage, as I quoted above Putin wants to interview a congressional aide who only drafted sanctions against Russia. In a country where a lawyer who worked with one of his colleagues ended up mysteriously dead just from being in Russian custody. The outrage is VERY well deserved. Every American should be outraged.

Not Fake News. It's left of Fox News, but right of the WSJ,
Is it possible to get through a single thread without a whataboutism conspiracy theory that has nothing to do with the tread topic.

An utter bullshit story that Fox and Hannity dropped because they knew they had been snookered.
Two things:
1. If you watched the video from yesterday you don't need to differentiate between what was in quotes and wasn't. You can watch him actually say everything.
2. If you're going to say that you need to see things verbatim before you have an opinion on it...
...maybe don't post conspiracy theories which you have no actual evidence to back up. Quotes or not.

Speaking of 10 second google searches...
Shriek louder. It's much funnier to watch all this proceed in a very boring and predictable way while folks continue to say "the sky is falling" for nearly 2 years now.
The Seth Rich stuff happened long before the main stream media reported on it. Wikileaks said it was him and Donna Brazille donated her book to him. I thought everyone knew this.

Did you read Article 12, section 1. Seems like a joke.

Yeah, why? Was I missing something? Seemed like a standard explanation for the transfer of 'persons in custody'.

‘’If the person consents and both parties agree” stood out to me. It seems like an easy way for both countries, and the person, to politely say “fuck off.” I’m speaking strictly in terms of extradition by it’s classic definition, by the way (to avoid misinterpretation).
Disclaimer: I’m not an expert on this treaty (and thanks for posting, by the way), nor have I ever been involved in something like this...thank god.

I've worked long enough in customer service to know that's just boilerplate c.y.a.
What it means is that -- under the terms of the treaty -- neither party can be forced to swap persons. It has to be mutually agreed, but it avoids rigid extradition laws. That's my understanding, at least. I dunno. I'm open to wiser interpretation. It's all so interesting to learn about.

Any Trumpers that would support this are traitors as well.

I didn't know about that. She donated the proceeds of her book to his family ? Or do you mean she dedicated her book to him ?
Also Kim Dotcom says he knows for a fact Seth Rich was wikileaks source. I presume because Rich was using megauploads to distribute the data. Also the retire police detective who was initially investigating the murder said his FBI contacts told him they found forensic information on Seth's computer that indicates he had been in contact with Wikileaks. Also an article a few weeks ago came out that talked about how Julian Assange had been in contact with some high level govt officials, Congressmen and Senators (people of that level), offering to reveal what he knew about the DNC leaks, and James Comey shut it down.
Could just elect a person who knows what they're doing

Yep, and I hope the Democrats put up a better choice this time. Looking at the roster of people expected to make a run, well, there's always 2024.
With regards to knowing how to be president?
lol

Yeah, that's what we're talking about. I hope the Dems nominate someone who knows how to be president in 2020. Would like a choice, but not seeing much to be hopeful about yet.
As long as it isn't another celebrity I think we'll be better off.
His mouth literally just says shit and then his handlers are like you can't say that because you're putting our people at risk.

I'm not sure about the end of your sentence, but the bold is spot on.
