Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?

It is ZERO days since a prominent Republican was caught saying something deeply embarrassing on a just-revealed audio recording.
Guilfoyle was flexing her connections to wealthy Greek businessmen in January as she made an urgent request. She was being blocked from attending an upcoming dinner being held for Eric Trump, and she wanted to enlist an American businessman who was on the guest list to help get her in the door.
"You know, I can deliver the world to you. Which you deserve," she said, according to the recording. "I'm going to make you a lot of f—ing money," she said at another point in the exchange with the businessman.She expressed fury at not being on the list for the dinner, which was being organized by Greek House Davos. "You don't have the f—ing U.S., you know, ambassador to Greece not come. She should be kissing my f-ing ass," Guilfoyle said of the event's organizer.
