Trump faces political and legal jeopardy from the Justice Department investigation of his 2016 campaign and Russia.
Against that backdrop, comments that Republican Sen. Ben Sasse called “bizarre” make sense: Trump spoke most emphatically in discrediting the Mueller investigation.
Former CIA Director John Brennan condemned Trump’s words as “nothing short of treasonous.” Others, in less provocative terms, joined in harsh denunciations.
President Trump’s stunning news conference with Vladimir Putin becomes understandable once you recognize that he was advancing his personal interests, not those of the United States.
Trump faces political and legal jeopardy from the Justice Department investigation of his 2016 campaign and Russia. His former campaign chief sits in jail. His former national security advisor has plead guilty to a felony and become a cooperating witness for special counsel Robert Mueller. Long dependent on Russian money in his businesses, Trump has balked at answering questions from prosecutors himself.
Against that backdrop, comments that Republican Sen. Ben Sasse called “bizarre” make sense. Trump spoke most emphatically in discrediting the Mueller investigation.
American intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered in 2016 to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton. “I don’t see any reason why” Russia would have done so, Trump said, expressing confidence in Putin and noting the former KGB agent’s “extremely strong and powerful” denial.

“Trump pushed his personal agenda, not the national interest, at Putin summit”
So says John Harwood, the jackwagon debate host that had a personal agenda last election cycle.
I haven’t forgotten, Mr. Harwood. You make me wanna hurl!
Just understand that we are living in a post-truth world. Nothing we are shown is actually true.
Yup. Up is down. Right is wrong.
Obama would have whined to the mainstream media. Conservatives never treated him that badly. The left are sore losers!
Yup. The left especially live in a fantasy world.
The US press kept wasting all the time of the adult’s in the room asking ridiculous questions about the “investigation” and now they whine about those questions being dismissed as ridiculous by the adults.
Rosenstein? Hardly. I am a strong trump supporter. Check out my posts on Twitter as @Yes_WeThePeople.
Still, I can’t deny that Trump made a mistake today in not showing Putin that the US does not approve of Russians hacking into DNC—it’s the proper thing to do for the US President, especially in a foreign city representing the USA>
Stop buying the fake premise then you will understand. The deep state got you twisted.
Yup
“Evidence” is irrelevant to Harwood. Remember who he works for.
Count me in. He’s winning on so many fronts he can’t be incompetent. He had to campaign against the DNC AND THe MSM, he couldn’t be stupid or incompetent. I trust him to handle the worst thrown at him.
me-MAGA!
time for the Boss to drop the hammer -
release the 302, the last 19 pages of the FISA that RR signed, the 33,000 HRC emails that NSA scooped up, the transmissions from ‘the server’ that supposedly was destroyed (probably after copying)...
No, the lying msm only asked about the hacking. Trump tried to tell them of all the other peace making and nuke, etc. topics but they completely ignored those.
New Text Messages PROVE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE Was Involved with Trump Campaign Spying! from Fox

Wow...thanks for the link. Based on the timing of their release, and Page’s Committee appearances, I wonder if Page provided these to the Committee. Catherine Herridge is mentioned in the video, but it doesn’t actually have her reporting about the story.
His personal agenda as like, selling off 20% of our uranium to Russia?
Everyone on the Left is in panic mode - Shumer tried to stop the private meeting because he know that Putin know a lot about the Left and the intel agencies and was terrified of it coming out - his post meeting screed proves there is much for them to be afraid of...Trump’s demeanor changed a bit coming out of the meeting - he knows more than he did about how deep the Deep State Swamp goes....
