What about this statement is news?
the narrative that the most important thing the US and moscow share is killing "terrorists" and this would solve all problems seemed to refreshing for me to ignore.
It was worded in a way that I'd expect from someone with a fifth grade education (Eric Trump obviously is the red-headed stepchild of the Trumps), but what about this statement is newsworthy exactly? You just repeated the quote and didn't elaborate as to why America and Russia should have a productive, peaceful relationship.
Nice attempt to try and drive the emails out of your mind for a few minutes, but not good enough.
