Schumer outlines 5-step plan to stand up to Russia
Axios ^ | 17 Jul 2018 | Caitlin Owens, Marisa Fernandez

Posted on 07/17/2018 8:31:25 AM PDT by mandaladon

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has questioned whether Russian President Vladimir Putin holds damaging information over President Trump, and has outlined five ways the GOP-held Congress should respond to Russia's election meddling and Monday's bizarre Trump-Putin press conference.

Between the lines: Republicans are calling all of the shots when it comes to introducing legislation or subpoenaing information from the administration.

Schumer's ask of the GOP:

Increase sanctions against Russia.

Demand that the president's national security team that accompanied him to the Russia summit testify before Congress about what happened.

End all attacks on the Justice Department, the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Schumer said it's also time for Trump to sit down for an interview with Mueller.

Demand that Trump insists the 12 Russians named in last week's indictment be sent to the U.S. to stand trial.

Push through bipartisan legislation for election security to prevent future election interference.

ANYTHING to discredit Trump...I am anxious to see how a Non-Politician businessman handles this...I do know that everyone I know supports Trump, and are probably better informed on a day to day basis than most people. MAGA, and I really mean it.

Does it include bombing Syria - twice; Fighting the mullahs in Iran; Arming Ukraine? Just wondering. Im tired of the insanity of the left, including RINOs.

How would causing trouble at home with testimony help strengthen America?

Why not launch a NATO invasion?

I’m sure Germany, France, UK, Italy - will be on board and ready.

One-step election rigging.

Everybody seems to agree that Russia “meddled” in our elections. Is there actually any proof beyond fake indictments from Mueller? Hell, the first folks he indicted came forward and asked to see evidence. Mueller quickly dropped that charade.

It wouldn’t surprise me that Russia meddled. So does the USA. We care about who gets elected in other countries too.

So, the whole country is “concerned” that this election was different than previous elections. Is there not at least a handful of critical thinkers that can say, “how”?

“Schumer outlines 5-step plan to stand up to Russia”

Where was he with this when Reagan was in office?

Chuckie is a far greater enemy of the American Republic than Vladimir Putin.

Schumer acts daily to bring about the destruction of our Republic while Putin actually does very little.

Schumer is mortally dangerous. Putin is trivial in comparison

Somebody should remind Schumer that he’s not president. What has suddenly stirred him up? Maybe the anti-Trump plotters who are beginning to reveal themselves promised the job to him?

The last thing Schmuck Choomer wants is for Russia,Russia Russia to be resolved. The dems are all in on Russian “meddling” for the midterm elections.

Its going to blowup in their faces. Popcorn is heating up!
