Putin quips he's ready to grant asylum to ex-FBI chief Comey

Prior to the end of the show, a presenter asked Putin a question sent by a viewer, of what he thinks could be people's feelings about the circus with staged questions.

"It was "very strange" that the Federal Bureau of Investigation official had leaked details of conversations with Donald Trump, and likened his actions to those of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden."If there is some kind of persecution, we would be ready to offer political asylum to Comey if he is persecuted in the U.S.", The Independent quoted Putin as saying".

One text message flashed on screen informing Mr Putin that three terms in office were enough.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

Russian Federation has managed to overcome its recession and achieved a year-on-year growth of 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2017, he said.

"It sounds very unusual when the head of the security services writes down a conversation with the commander-in-chief and then leaks it to the media through his friend ..."

James Comey, if you're ever actually prosecuted and searching for secret lair, might we suggest Mother Russia? For opposition journalist Oleg Kashin that does not really matter.

Putin began by announcing that Russian Federation had overcome a years-long recession, brought on by relatively low prices for a major export, oil, and tit-for-tat sanctions with Western powers over the Ukraine conflict.

Kevin Durant explains why the Warriors are no 'superteam'
The brothers took turns climbing on top of a water cooler to see over the crowd and jumped with delight as Curry's bus went by. Sheldon Glasgow, who has been living in Oakland for 10 years, said he wasn't angry the Warriors were moving.

Vladimir Putin compared Mr Comey to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden, who now lives in Russian Federation.

Putin recognized that people's incomes have fallen and that 13.5% of Russians now live below the poverty line, currently equivalent to $170.

He once again denied any Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election, adding that allegations to this effect result from "exacerbating political infighting" in the United States, and that there is nothing Russia can do about this.

Of course, Putin was probably just puttin' out the offer as a joke. Putin said: "We don't see America as our enemy".

Putin avoided mentioning opposition leader Alexei Navalny by name, but made clear he did not approve of an anti-Kremlin protest on Monday which was broken up by baton-wielding riot police. The point of the show wasn't to hide problems but to demonstrate that Putin was trying his best to get local officials to do their jobs.

Putin began his answer by saying he hadn't followed the testimony closely. One of Putin's daughters was reported to be in charge of a lucrative project to build a Silicon Valley-like community under the auspices of Moscow State University.

".they won't be left alone if they're identified as the grandchildren of the President", he said.
