McCain: Trump's meeting with Putin 'should not move forward'
CNN Politics ^ | July 13, 2018 | Daniella Diaz

Sen. John McCain praised the Department of Justice's announcement of the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, adding President Donald Trump shouldn't meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin unless he holds him accountable.

"President Trump must be willing to confront Putin from a position of strength and demonstrate that there will be a serious price to pay for his ongoing aggression towards the United States and democracies around the world," the Arizona senator said in a statement Friday. "If President Trump is not prepared to hold Putin accountable, the summit in Helsinki should not move forward."

The statement came hours after the Justice Department announced indictments against 12 Russian nationals as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, accusing them of engaging in a "sustained effort" to hack Democrats' emails and computer networks.

Trump is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin -- who has denied election meddling -- in Helsinki on Monday for a summit that includes a one-on-one meeting with only interpreters present....

When he croaks, I’m gonna make a special trip to where ever they bury the treasonous rat - just so I can p*$$ on his grave.

Take a number. The line is already out the door, around the block, and damn near all the way across town.

McCain specializes in bad judgment and poor choices. Nobody in their right mind pays any attention to his alleged ramblings.

The CNN Fake News® headline writer cleverly distorts what McCain actually said.

Sad.

Exactly how many times can Putin be held accountable for something the is still no proof of. Sanctions, dispelling diplomats, bombing allies. The timing of the latest round of fake indictments tells us Bobby is trying to run a shadow government. Fake news, for indictments. If they showed up he wouldn’t want to show the “evidence”. Fire this moron!

No, Mr. McCain. Only your emissary can go to England, obtain from Steele a dossier which was confabulated in Russia, then you use it to try to take down a legitamately elected President.. I grow weary of your pronouncements, Mr.McCain.

Sen. John McCain praised the Department of Justice's announcement

Sen. John McCain's Twitter account praised the Department of Justice's announcement. He has been brain dead for the past 3 months. Just keeping him on life support.

Agreed. I don’t think he can communicate. I think this is his wife lobbying for his seat.

I think it’s time for proof of life. Have McCain do an interview with Michelle Malkin or someone else equally trustworthy.

It must just be killing McCain to see Trump willing to talk to Putin instead of declaring war on Russia.

I was just going to ask the same thing. What are they afraid of, cause it’s so obvious.

The panic of the swamp creatures seems disproportionate to the situation. So Putin meets with President Trump, so what? Perhaps the top swampers know Putin can hand Trump devastating evidence against them?

The indictment of a dozen Russian ham sandwiches won’t stop the meeting. Two instances of Brits being poisoned won’t stop the meeting. Juan’s protestations won’t stop the meeting. Maxine and her too-tight wig (cutting off circulation to her residual brain matter) won’t stop the meeting.

Is that all they have? Do they have a last resort, perhaps a supreme sacrifice, to spring between now and the meeting next week? Who will the Russians supposedly assassinate in time to have the meeting cancelled?

Maybe Juan himself? He’s a short timer anyway. Why not make his death a martyrdom? Panicked minds can think that way.

...”Gee, I wonder what they are so afraid of?”...

I would guess that millions of us share this wonder. Does Putin know something that might be earth shattering about the real enemies of our nation, perhaps domestic enemies?
