Trump and Putin had a host of critical world issues to discuss. The timing of the 12 Mueller indictments against Russian officers, announced last Friday by Rosenstein, was intended to publicly force the “collusion” investigation to the forefront of the summit. By design, the announcement sought to undermine Trump’s agenda for the meeting and provide a platform for the Democrats and the media to humiliate him.
Yours is an excellent summary. The Lame Stream Media are all harping on the 12 Mueller indictments even though it is Russia’s Constitution that prevents these 12 from extradition.
