He is reluctant to counter its military might. Trump obviously wants better diplomatic relations with Russia. What the FBI people really were concerned about is Trump's public record of favoring Russia at each and every corner. That the opening of a counter-intelligence investigation gave them the legal ability under Obama's EO12333 to use NSA signal intelligence against Trump is surely irrelevant. That the FBI agents involved in the decision were avid haters of Russia and of Trump has surely nothing to do with it. Only that Trump is controlled by Putin can explain why the FBI opened a counter-intelligence investigation against Trump (see section three).

Nixon would meet Brezhnev alone, the only other person in attendance being Viktor Sukhodrev, the Soviet interpreter. When Richard Nixon met Leonid Brezhnev he did not even bring his own interpreter: George Szamuely - 20:57 utc. leaders held long private meetings with their counterparts without notes being taken.
There is nothing like it in the annals of presidential history.
