It appears Trump is determined to conduct a secret meeting with Putin, with no Americans present at this critical moment. This prospect horrifies leaders throughout the democratic world who are terrified by what could transpire if Putin and Trump collude in concert, without free-world witnesses, on whatever ventures they secretly discuss.
Secretary of Defense Mattis should be present at all meetings between Putin and Trump, without exception. There must be no secret meetings between the Russian dictator and the American president.
The battlefield between Trump and Putin on one hand, and Mueller on the other, is converging with the midterm elections because of the delay and defame strategy of Trump. Putin fears Mueller because he fears the public exposure of his attacks against America.
Trump fears Mueller and masterminds an all-out attack against him, because he fears what Mueller may find about collusion between his inner circle and Russians attacking America under orders from Putin.
Mueller should take no public actions after Oct. 1 and before the midterm elections. Until Oct. 1, he should act wherever the facts lead him.
The coming midterm elections may be the most important midterm elections in American history. There is a high probability that Democrats emerge with control of at least one house of Congress and possibly both.
There is an ominous sense among voters that something has gone terribly wrong in America with Trump and Republicans in control of every branch of government.
The liberal base is rising. As I recently wrote, a growing number of principled conservatives agree that the nation would be served by Democratic control of Congress, for reasons including the battles of Mattis vs. Trump vs. NATO vs. Putin vs. Mueller discussed here.
