President Donald Trump has got enough guts up to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing media hysteria over his alleged \u00ab\u00a0collusion\u00a0\u00bb with Moscow, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel told Sputnik, expressing hope for further rapprochement between Russia and the US.<\/b>
\n\u00ab\u00a0I truly believe the Helsinki meeting was an outstanding start, but it will certainly take time to deliver progress for the Russian and American people,\u00a0\u00bb Charles Ortel, a Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist, told Sputnik.
So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!
When it comes to the potential US-Russia collaboration, the analyst believes that \u00ab\u00a0what will matter most, in the near term, is to select a short list of concrete measures that may yield successes so obvious that even America’s hostile and blinkered mainstream press will be forced to grasp that the world must be better off once Russia and the United States actually reset our relationship, for the better.\u00a0\u00bb
Predictably, following the Helsinki summit, Donald Trump has faced a tsunami of criticism, the investigative journalist remarked.
\u00ab\u00a0The coordinated assault against Donald Trump by reliable and ill-informed allies in the press is almost amusing to watch \u2014 the very things for which Barack Obama was praised and perhaps given his undeserved Nobel Peace Prize were criticized when Trump dared to consider President Putin’s denial of Russian state-sponsored interference in the 2016 election,\u00a0\u00bb Ortel underscored.
However, despite the US establishment’s ire over Trump’s meeting with Putin, \u00ab\u00a0the political landscape has already changed much in America,\u00a0\u00bb Ortel said.
\u00ab\u00a0People here are becoming more independent of both parties for many reasons,\u00a0\u00bb he noted. \u00ab\u00a0I suspect that a large majority of Americans does want a new state of peaceful, engaged relations with the Russian people. But there are many challenges.\u00a0\u00bb
In light of this, it was excellent to see the Helsinki meeting happen, the Wall Street analyst emphasized, expressing hope that \u00ab\u00a0much positive news will follow as the Trump administration engages further with Vladimir Putin’s government .\u00a0\u00bb

During the joint press conference with his American counterpart Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin singled out Bill Browder, the American-born British financier and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, once one of the largest foreign investment funds in Russia.
On July 17, The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office specified that the sum sent to Clinton by Browder amounted to $400,000 and signaled its readiness to send official request to the US to initiate an investigation into the case. Browder rushed to deny the accusations in an op-ed for Times magazine.
\u00ab\u00a0It would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that Browder and\/or his allies might have funneled substantial sums to the Clintons (and to others) to try to gain protection from prosecution and\/or advantages from being connected to Hillary Clinton, had she won in 2016,\u00a0\u00bb Ortel, who has been conducting a private investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s alleged fraud for the past few years, said.
\u00ab\u00a0One of the ways these sorts of players operate is to run investment funds and nonprofit entities, using one or both as ways to launder money across national boundaries,\u00a0\u00bb he highlighted. \u00ab\u00a0I certainly hope that Russia will consider sharing details supporting this claim and that the Trump administration will investigate these details fully and prosecute accordingly.\u00a0\u00bb
Ortel noted that Trump’s decision to change the trajectory of American relations with Russia well before the November 2018 congressional elections and amid the Robert Mueller investigation into the supposed Trump-Russia \u00ab\u00a0collusion\u00a0\u00bb appears to be risky.
\u00ab\u00a0The mainstream press, think-tankers, academia and the Deep State are eager to argue (as they already have again) that President Trump is somehow ‘indebted’ to Russian interests for his 2016 victory,\u00a0\u00bb the analyst said, referring to the alleged Russian interference into the US 2016 presidential race, which was denied by both Moscow and Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump and his team are not sitting on their thumbs. They \u00ab\u00a0have been busy getting control over key parts of the executive branch that are still heavily influenced by Obama\/Clinton loyalists and by ‘Never-Trumper’ Republicans,\u00a0\u00bb the investigative journalist highlighted.
\u00ab\u00a0I suspect the Trump Team has made progress investigating malfeasance and that one of the reasons that there now is such a coordinated assault against the President by former CIA head John Brennan, former FBI head James Comey, failed candidate Hillary Clinton and many others is that they fear Donald Trump will soon make good on one promise that excited the electorate and that is to ‘Drain the Swamp’,\u00a0\u00bb Ortel concluded.<\/p>\n
