The president appeared conciliatory to the Russian leader, who claims his officials were not involved in the 2016 election hacking.

Several Republican lawmakers condemned President Trump Monday, following his joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which he appeared conciliatory toward the autocratic leader.

During the press conference, Trump criticized the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as well as Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s efforts to indict several Russian nationals for their part in that meddling. He pinpointed Mueller’s most recent indictment of 12 GRU officers — or Russian military intelligence — who are alleged to have worked together to hack the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee servers, as well as the email accounts of Hillary Clinton’s campaign staffers, suggesting that the real problem was actually Clinton’s missing 33,000 emails, which were deleted from her private server years earlier.

The president also said he trusted Putin, who has repeatedly denied playing any part in the 2016 election meddling, despite the fact that intelligence officials have long stated the opposite.

“My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia,” Trump said. “I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be, but I really do want to see the [DNC] server.”

1. ALL talk and NO action. That's what they are.

They're going to fall on their fainting couches, lordy me. But they're not going to do a damn thing.

3. Yepper, spot on................and now this country is in national security moment

and those in power the enabling republican party need to be held accountable..............

[procon]

2. It's barely a handful of mild, lackluster rebukes.

Republicans might lay low for a couple of days to see which way the wind is blowing, but if Trump is still being Trump, then they'll be right back at it as if nothing happened.

4. this is now a national security issue.....................and this need to be thrown in the republican

face for over 40+ years, they threw security in the Democratic face...............not anymore..................they own this traitor and he owns them..............

[bitterross]

5. You are, of course, correct. Unfortunately, they believe 45.

The only hope is this sways the independent voters who normally lean right. It is not going to affect 45's Cult one bit. If you look at the comments on FOX news (I showered afterwards), they are behind him one-hundred-delusional-percent still. They completely believe all of our intelligence agencies are part of the deep state conspiring against him.

9. I am calling my state sec. to demand that we have paper ballots.............

as for the enabling traitors on fix noise and the other enabling supporters of this traitor people that are dangerous to our country.............you are correct we need to get out and vote...................the train has left...............on treason.................they the enablers are the deep state.................and I for one am going to remind them of that at the next protest............





November 2018 cannot get here fast enough........................vote

6. We ain't got time to wait for November...

Just sayin’!

7. This only makes it worse for the KGOP

trumps performance was so bad even the russians and putin were laughing at him. The chances both the House and the Senate is retaken by the Democrats is significantly higher in Nov. after this disaster from trump. What I am scared of did he meet with putin to get assurances he'd do this upcoming election for the KGOP to protect him from the blue wave at Mid terms? Did he pass onto putin more protected secrets? The kgop doing nothing again will destroy their party for good. They are deeply involved with putin and trump for power and control too. Wonder how much did they sell us out for?

8. Something SNEAKY happened in that occulted meeting between Pooty Poot & Dirty Donny* (R)

You can bet your bippy. Whatever it is, we will find out about it later, alas, as it is being shoved down our throats in some gawdforsaken way.
