Representative Ted Lieu issued this statement on the Helsinki Summit:

https://lieu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-lieu-statement-trump-putin-summit-helsinki

"What Trump did today was utterly shameful, and a slap in the face to the professionals in the Department of Justice and our intelligence community. Today we watched a U.S. President offer total deference to a hostile foreign power while attacking U.S. institutions. By refusing to admit that Russia attacked our Democracy, or that Russia did anything wrong whatsoever, Trump is disturbingly regurgitating the Kremlin's talking points.

At this point in time Donald Trump is this country's most malevolent enemy.

the answer is NO.

Here's a little theory for you. Russia didn't hack just the Democrat servers, they hacked the GOP as well and they have as much, if not way more, shit on the Rethughs and they had on the Dems. So Putin has the GOP as much in the bag as they do Trump.
