Corey Lewandowski who is still in regular contact with Trump just made Trump’s Russia problems worse by going on MSNBC and defending Trump inviting Putin to the White House while calling Russia a superpower.

Check out this exchange between NBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Corey Lewandowski:
Mitchell: Why would he have suggested to Vladimir Putin two weeks ago — exactly two weeks ago today that they get together and even possibly get together at the White House? The Kremlin then announces that before the White House can and it’s blind-sided a number of national security officials and it seems to be rewarding Putin for something that he doesn’t deserve.
Lewandowski: I don’t think it is rewarding Putin. You have to remember, they’re still a superpower and we lie on a relationship with them to continue to put a stranglehold on North Korea through economic sanctions. We rely on them to make sure that we’re working together for the defeat of ISIS in Syria. There are opportunities for us to work with Russia. Now we have to be extremely cautious but what we have to make sure we do is where there are opportunities to work together and specifically the denuclearization of North Korea is so important for us, we can’t achieve that without the help of Russia and in some instances China here. So we have to work with those individuals to make sure that we have opportunities to denuclearize North Korea. Does that mean Vladimir Putin will be coming to Washington? We don’t know. But we have to make sure that we can work with those entities for the betterment of the world which is a denuclearizing North Korea.
Lewandowski was so far up Putin’s backside that the Special Counsel’s office needs to add this interview to their notes. Lewandowski’s claim that Russia is a superpower is not true. Russia is struggling to regain superpower status, but has not been considered a superpower since the end of the Cold War.
A White House invite is a reward for Putin. Russia wants to be seen as equal or superior to the United States, and the best way to accomplish this goal is to have Trump welcoming Putin into the White House. Lewandowski’s claim that the US needs Russia to help denuclearize North Korea was also false to a degree. Russian and Chinese policies are aligned on North Korea. It is inaccurate to place Russia ahead of China, and Lewandowski’s willingness to cater to Putin’s ego in this respect deserves more examination.
Lewandowski’s glowing portrayal of Russian strength should draw the attention of investigators, and adds even more evidence that Russia is controlling Trump.
