Do Republicans want Putin visiting the White House just before the election??

At first glance, that does not look like a very good idea?

Bring it on, traitors!

Maybe they will meet at Camp David or at one of Trump's golf courses? Or maybe Mar a Lago?

Just four days ago, America was betrayed by this greasy jerk-off and he invites Putin to the White House?

Unbelievable!

Maybe the weekend just before election might be a good time?

...and I'll bet Trump know that. At some point, he'll want something from the republicans they won't want to give him. At that point, he'll offer to trade the putin visit for it and, suddenly, there will be schedule conflict.

He's just creating trading chips.

8. Pinochet was arrested in London, fall88. But there was European charges against him b/ 4 his arrest

Wikipedia has at least 2 articles on this. No freaking way any charges would/could be up in time to prevent this, not here & I doubt trump would let European charges be used here.

mentioned that Mueller should indict Putin. I doubt he'd be able to easily enter the US if indicted.

Between now and then we must ensure this visit doesn’t happen and that Russian nationals coming into our country are turned away unless they are checked out first.

Why should the Republicans be any different with Putin?
