Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer called Monday on President Trump’s national security team to testify before Congress about what was said before and after Mr. Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The New York Democrat called for Republicans to join with his party in demanding answers about why Mr. Trump dismissed an opportunity during the press conference in Helsinki, Finland to confront Mr. Putin about the allegation of Russia interfering with the U.S. 2016 election...

Maybe Schumer should testify about Brennan’s eavesdropping on our elected officials in the cloakroom.

"Deep State is in full on offensive, using every weapon they have. They mean to take Trump down, right here, right now...or go down themselves trying."

It is time for the base to prepare for what may be needed. If the coup plotters move against Trump, that will be time to decide to fight or be enslaved by the deep state. I hope Trump has units and groups he has identified that will stand with him when the attempt begins, as well.

Hey Chuckles, someone heard Trump whisper that he would have more flexibility after the election.

Testify that Putin said Collusion was Nonsense, and to provide one single fact to prove it.

LOL

Based on watching part of the presser and the Putin statement, I’ll believe him befor Schumer.

Dear Mr. Schumer, In the United States we have this system called checks and balances. Our federal government is broken into three branches—administrative (of which I am in charge), the legislative, and the judicial. Each is co-equal and acts as a check on the other two branches. Now, normally, misbehavior of foreign governments is a matter handled diplomatically through my branch; however, in bringing the indictments, Mr. Mueller has chosen to place the matter in the hands of the judiciary. That was his choice. So now I need to let the process play out and take care not to do anything which might prejudice the judicial process and I have to follow the American philosophy that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Since Mr. Mueller has tied my hands as it applies to these specific indicted individuals and the allegations they involve, it would be quite improper and might give the defendants grounds for a mistrial had I demanded answers as to the guilt or innocence of the defendants.

Jesus. I kidded around about this, then they actually went and did it.

Meuller FINALLY HAS PROOF THAT TRUMP AND PUTIN ARE TALKING DIRECTLY! Look for impeachment soon.

They are trying to criminalize any diplomatic efforts whatsoever ... but only by President Trump.

Coincidental to The One being off in Africa. Where are the Clintons this week?

McCain’ got brain cancer and diarrhea of the mouth

Harry Reid’s in surgery for pancreatic cancer

Venezuela’s in collapse.
Nicaragua’s boiling over.
Cuba’s been zapping our diplomats, and strangely, no one cares.

Yep...The RATs are turning the unbelievable into reality and doing it blatantly, I guess they think everyone in the country is as dumb as their base whom they are playing to.

“They are terrified not to know what Trump and Putin are talking about and possibly planning.”

They are terrified of what information Putin has, and whether he’ll give it to Trump and others.

Well, it’s in full display now. This here is the primary means by which they intend to take Trump down. Now. They’ll go all the way to civil war with it. They intend to win - permanently - right here, right now. They’ve launched their offensive, it started Friday.

Yep, it’s ON. The balloon has gone up.

It’s Pickett’s Charge time. All or nothing.

“Something big *has* to be dropping soon here at home”

no, you got it right. An extraordinary level of hysterical messaging the like of which we have never witnessed before.
