‘This scandal could bring down the administration’: Fox military analyst

One of Fox News’s top military analysts now says President Donald Trump must release his taxes to prove that the Russian government has no financial leverage over him.

Ret. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, the hawkish Fox analyst who infamously called former President Barack Obama a “p*ssy” on air in 2015, warned Fox viewers on Friday that Trump needed to get over his “lunatic” idea of a strategic alliance with Russia, which he suggested was brought about by the president’s past admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“He can’t get over his adulation of Vladimir Putin,” said Peters, who also said that Obama wouldn’t challenge Russia due to “sheer cowardice.” “He just will not challenge Russia on anything.”

Peters said that Trump needed to prove that he was not compromised by Russian intelligence agencies by releasing his tax returns to prove that he doesn’t have any significant investments in the country.

“Look, this scandal — and it is a scandal — could bring down the administration, if the administration doesn’t get ahead of it,” he said. “They cannot keep allowing the slow drip-drip of blood.”
So if Trump had investments over there Putin could blackmail him to do ...what? I don't get it. Trump would be willing to put the country in danger to make some bucks? Sounds like Peters has jumped the shark.

You yawn as your country goes down the drain.
Your faux outrage is invigorating.
turn it around weather and tell me you'd not be pissed too
I don't think the country's going down the tubes so much. But there's just a smell about Trump's dealing with Putin. I'm not even sure that is doesn't infect the NSA and defense and even State. Maybe it's nothing. But it needs some light shined on it.

And that's not to ignore Hillary's selling access to the DoS. It may actually be similar in that there is not evil intent, or even quid pro quo, but just a sense of hubris and playing by rules not applicable to everyone.
 
Who invited the Russian Diplomat to meet with Sessions in his office? The Obama administration that's who. Sessions was set up for this.
and it's a mystery why Sessions lied about it.
gotta get sherlock holmes on the case,,,,,,hope all is well bendog
It's a good day. The kid got into her second choice grad school. Have a good weekend.

I may drink some bourbon.
Great news. You deserve the bourbon.
 
A good day to remind everyone that AG Eric Holder ran guns to Mexico, lied to Congress about it, was found in contempt & never prosecuted.
 
Yeah just like not releasing them was going to keep him from getting the Republican nomination then it was going to keep him from winning the general election. Didn't work out that way much like Obama's birth certificate very few care about this yes I know what a big deal Trump made about it before anyone brings that up.
 
I hope that analyst will release his to prove nobody is influencing himmmmm.......can someone list 1 thing Trump is doing for Russia.....Press is on a snipe hunt

LIFTING SANCTIONS - Duh?
when did he do that? more fakey ackey news. pretendland.

He CAN'T do it now in light of all the questions swirling around his Russian connections.

But this is what he said on sanctions:

“If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?” - Trump

No doubt he is angling to lift them. but if he makes it his priority even his allies will start turning.
and?

....And that satisfies "can someone list 1 thing Trump is doing for Russia" challenge by Manonthestreet I was responding to when you butted in.
so he didn't lift sanctions right? So, there's no story, and hence fakey ackey news pretendland.
 
Trump's tax return is very long and complicated. Probably hundreds of pages. He gets audited every year. If he was cheating the IRS would be screaming it from the rooftops. If he released them, none of the crazed dems or the media cronies would even understand them. But, they would pull out one page and make up lies about it. We all know that is what this is all about.

Trump should hire you. You make a great apologist for him. Now that you have expressed your commitment to Trump's lack of transparency , your loyalties as an American Patriot in solidarity with We The People, are called into question. What red blooded American wouldn't want to know that their president isn't hiding something that could be detrimental to the nation, specifically to the clandestine Intelligence operatives we have ensconced in secret places around the world. Surely the American moles in Russia are nervous about Trump's personal ties with Russia and his adoration of Putin.

Trump's tax returns might be expansive but all of it would fit on a 2 GB flash drive with room to spare. A MAC computer could use Spotify or Finder to zoom in on any query the user might be interested in. But we don't have to do that. There are plenty of analysts willing to narrow the pertinent information down to a few pages and explain them to us on national TV. I wouldn't be interested in any cheating Trump might have done, that is an IRS problem. I would be interested in income or payouts involving deals done in certain time frames, with ties to Russia or Russian interests. If there is nothing there. I would be happy to celebrate in spirit with our at risk Intelligence operatives in Russia and elsewhere.

There is no scandal except in the minds of the corrupt media and the butthurt defeated democrats.

If there is no scandal, then the release of Trump's tax returns ought to be of little concern to you. I just want validation that there is NO scandal... Your saying so just doesn't quite cut it!

Doing business with foreign companies and governments is not illegal. If you have a 401K it is very likely that you own some foreign company stock and have a vested interest in the success of that foreign company.

Your premise here might be ok for an average private citizen,but; high government officials, vested with the secrets of our nation to include the names of our Intelligence operatives cannot be afforded the luxury of having direct opaque personal foreign dealings, especially those involving a known foreign enemy.

This is a ridiculous attempt to create talking points from the desperate alt left in this country and their lying comrades the media.

i would trust all of them before I would trust the known liar, Trump and his Russian KGB ally,Putin!
 
If this is no big deal, why is a very conservative former military man on Fox demanding Rumps tax returns? Its getting uglier by the day
huh?
Fox is wrong? The retired colonel is wrong? Everyone is wrong but you?
Why no link to Fox? I wonder why..........
try their web site, Einstein
you brought it in, that responsibility was yours.
The link is in the OP. Go look.

When the lack of transparency involves a president's personal dealings with Russia or any other enemy in this country I don't give a rats ass about party affiliation. I want transparency or I want him gone whether he is democrat OR republican.

Tell us. Flexibility about what?

You don't know because you don't care. Obama was a Democrat.

When there is no precedent for this sort of thing there is no double standard.Trump is treading where no other president has treaded before in terms of personal affinity to Russia and a known ruthless dictator like Putin!
