Donald Trump was negotiating to build a skyscraper in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign. Vladimir Putin guarded that secret while his agents penetrated Hillary Clinton’s computer, leaked her files and triggered a criminal investigation of her. It gets worse.

Trump as president often met alone with Putin, and they talked on the phone without aides listening. No other president would go solo this way with a national enemy. Why would Trump? Because he wanted to. Because he had to.
