Russian Translator Theory: The Only Other Person in the Room

Could it be possible that in Russian, Putin told the translator, "If you ever divulge what was said, I will order you killed." ??

Has anyone discussed this possibility?

Hmmm...

Quite plausible

Its going to happen anyway.

Doesn’t Putin speak fluent English? Why did they need a translator?

That interpreter is the unluckiest person in the world.

She ded.

Trump needs a translator for English

That said, all a Russian-to-English translator would need to say is:

Man with orange hair agrees to everything.

Putin's translator is most probably KGB trained (whatever the KGB is called today). They are aware of their fate if they divulge info.

Yeah, Putin doesn't have to say that, his people already know.

R12> If Putin approved that interview, it will be full of lies and omissions.

The CIA knows exactly what went on in the meeting.

If the CIA *didn't* work out a way to get a listening device into that meeting, they need to go back to fucking spy school.

Considering the depth of information that we've seen Mueller produce so far, I'd say it's quite likely the CIA got a recording.

It's an interpreter not a translator. Translators do written documents. Interpreters do live, real time conversations. NPR had a great interview w one this past week.
