he would never see Russia again. I would throw his beet-eating ass into Florence supermax. Putin personally ordered the invasion of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. He personally ordered clandestine interference in U.S. elections. Putin should be on the Magnitsky Sanctions list of proscribed Russian citizens.

Putin invites Trump to Moscow

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin

Russian leader Vladimir Putin said on Friday he has invited President Trump to Moscow – and plans to visit Washington – as he praised their meetings as “useful.”

Putin told reporters at a summit in South Africa that he and Trump needed to meet in person — not chat over the phone — about issues like the Iran nuclear deal, Middle East conflicts and arms control treaties.

- Trump open to visiting Moscow after Putin invite - White House -

WASHINGTON/JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is open to visiting Moscow, the White House said on Friday after Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had invited the American leader. Despite the uproar in Washington after the two met in Helsinki last week, Putin said another meeting with Trump was still on the agenda and that both leaders want additional summits.

“Regarding our meetings, I understand very well what President Trump said. He has a desire to have further meetings,” Putin told reporters in South Africa, where he was attending a summit of BRICS nations: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. “I am ready for that,” Putin said. “We need for the appropriate conditions to exist, to be created, including in our countries.”

Following the backlash in the United States over Trump’s cordial public tone with Putin at the Helsinki summit, U.S. and Russian officials backed away from Trump’s proposal to schedule a follow-up meeting in Washington in the fall.

Two days after postponing that invitation, the White House made clear on Friday that Trump remained enthusiastic about another Russia summit. “President Trump looks forward to having President Putin to Washington after the first of the year, and he is open to visiting Moscow upon receiving a formal invitation,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement...

and in Moscow because their phone lines could be tapped. Trump can't even be trusted to use a secure phone. And in the US, there's a chance that after the midterms the Dems could make the translator talk.

4th of July, 2018 A group of Republican lawmakers travel to Moscow and meet Foreign Minister Lavrov.[1] On the 18th of July, 2018 House Republicans refuse to renew election security funding.[2]

Russian state propaganda brazenly asserted that “Trump is ours,” and joke that the U.S. lawmakers traveled to Russia “to make deals with our hackers, so they can rig the midterms in favor of Trump’s team."[3]

1) Roll Call - Senate Republicans Meet Lavrov in Moscow Ahead of Trump-Putin Summit

2) Washington Post - House GOP refuses to renew election security funding as Democrats fume over Russian interference

3) Washington Post - On Russian state TV, Putin has already won the summit with Trump
