the muller investigation was clear.hey should have just shut him down at that time and it should not have gone to all of this. trump has a hotel in moscow. they didn't mention that and i don't know if they mentioned his secretary of state. he has a relationship with putin. come on. nobody goes into russia and builds a hotel in moscow without making friends. the other thing the manse said made me laugh was people were saying things about a witchhunt. trump has been saying witchhunt and hopes for the last six years. host: is this the picture you are referring to? we will put it on the screen for you. this was back before 2016 when there was speculation about who would be the president and in the president's cabinet and it was a story in politico about rex tillerson and business dealings in russia, is that the picture you are referring to? caller: this is not the picture. the picture i'm talking about, they were on the opposite sides. therefore heads were practically touching. they were literally laughing so hard that thei

now there are a lot of such critical remarks, in particular, literally yesterday, cardinal gerhard müllerhead of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, that is, the former inquisition, so he said that he is very critical of pope francis in that personal views on various political or social issues should not be heard from the mouth of the pontiff who speaks on behalf of the church. you see, it is not only us who notice that some subjective notes sound like that in the voice of the pope. and this also applies to other issues, as well as high-ranking officials of the catholic church, but i also i also think that various social and public figures in the world pope francis i think really does not fully understand the nature of this conflict if he thinks that how cynical a person like putin is now able to talk about something like this uh-uh hmm it's possible, you know, it's a bit far, far away its context yes, and he does not fully know, you know, the entire prehistory of this war , it did not arise. do you think it might be worth it it would be somehow to intensify this process, well
