The interview with Mr. Scarborough took place the day after Mr. Putin praised and propagandized Mr. Trump as ``bright and talented'' and the ``absolute leader of the Presidential race.'' That was about a year before our election. Months later, the President-elect asked the Russian Federation to hack Hillary Clinton's email. How about that by our President-elect? September 8, 2016: At NBC's Commander-in-Chief Forum, Mr. Trump praised Putin by saying: If Putin says great things about me, I'm going to say great things about him . . . I've already said he is very much of a leader. The man has very strong control over his country. He is right about that. If you speak against Putin, you can be murdered in Russia. America, pay attention. ____________________
