After latest indictments, Schumer calls on Trump to cancel summit with Putin
Washington Post ^ | 7/13/18 | John Wagner

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Friday called on President Trump to cancel his summit with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin in the wake 12 Russian intelligence officers being charged with conspiring to hack Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy,” Schumer (N.Y.) said in a statement less than an hour after Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein detailed the new charges at a midday news conference.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Putin on Monday in Helsinki. During a joint news conference Friday with British Prime Minister Theresa May in Britain, Trump told reporters he would raise the issue of Russian interference in the election with Putin but that he doesn’t expect a “Perry Mason” moment, where Putin confesses to meddling.

Trump should cancel his meeting with Putin because Democrats haven’t learned how to use virus protectors? Maybe 123Dems is not a good choice for passwords on all your computers.

I’m beginning to think the Democrats know that the president and his team has the goods on all of them and are scared to death of the day he exposes the true information on all of this. That’s why Mueller and Rosenstein are doubling down on their fake indictments. We all know it comes down to who gets who first. Will it be them or the president to go down in flames.

Hope Trump and Putin both tell them to go jump in a lake. Old fashion family way of saying...well, you know what.

This is why Hillary should never have been president. She had no respect for cyber security. She and her whole team as well as the DNC could be blackmailed by Russians. So why should we trust any national democrats.

We need to see who is blackmailed in our government including those being blackmailed by our own CIA as well as those blackmailed by Russia.

Schumer is in charge of nothing but still keeps barking orders.

Seems this would be a good time to have a summit.

Shulmer just throwing his no-weight around again....

All this press conf. was was political manipulation by the same fools trying to protect the demorats and blame Russia for Hillary loosing. They’re still protecting her/ob and others from discovery and hoping they can somehow prevent Trump from running in 2020.

We already knew about these indictments. It is getting recycled for the summit and to get Smarmy Stzrok off the front page.

The timing of this is suspect. I say the President meets with Putin and tells him he will have more flexibility after the election.

Too funny, Schumer. Sit down and shut up.

Inquiring minds want to find out if Trump is working with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in Russia earlier this week, to produce a 1-2 punch.

What is Schumer scared of? Does he think Trump might negotiate a deal and come back with all 12 of the accused Russians in tow to be questioned about the allegations against them?

Just a coincidence that Mueller comes up with this rabbit out of a hat to give a basis for the Dems demand.

Schumer just won’t stop shooting his mouth off.

He just needs to shut up and get out of politics altogether if he doesn’t like how things are going.

hahahaha Really had a good LOL over this.

Why is Schmucky Schumer afraid of this meeting?

The President does need to be cautious about the crazy poisoning those Russian spies do in 'Londinistan'.

Praying for our President and his success on this very important mission.

I can see Trump being the type who, the more others push him, the more he digs in his heels.

Keep pushing, Chuckie.....

How would the headline be any different if it was written by the DNC?

Right, it wouldn’t.
