Trump Has Betrayed America July 18, 2018 at 8:22 am EDT by Taegan Goddard 87 Comments From a Financial Times editorial: Mr Trump has undermined his country and his office in a series of important ways. His performance in Helsinki made it absolutely clear that the US president places his own political survival and personal vanity above any belief in the rule-of-law. Just a few days earlier, Rod Rosenstein, America’s deputy attorney-general, had indicted 12 Russian agents accused of interfering in the 2016 election and had correctly pointed out that the indictments should not be a partisan issue. But this crucial point is lost on Mr Trump. Everything — including truth, the rule-of-law and the dignity of the US — is subordinated to his own partisan interests. The president’s rambling and self-centred remarks also underlined the questions about his intellectual fitness for office. The contrast with the controlled, polished (and deeply cynical) performance of Mr Putin was painful to behold. https://politicalwire.com/2018/07/18/trump-has-betrayed-america/
shs now has to walk back... explain his "No" answer to question about whether russia was still meddling...
"Undoing the Magnitsky Act sanctions is among Putin’s top priorities" what is old hollywood quote? "I am shocked, shocked to find gambling is going on here"
So Jordan Fabian of The Hill had a star moment at today's press conference... as did Cecilia Vega of ABC...
I think Trump should allow Russia to talk to ambassador McFaul, as long it is in the US and the 12 indicted GRU officers get to ask the questions in a FBI office of their choice.
This is all just a new kind of unbelievable. Wow. Putin can kill people in England and now he's maneuvering to be able to question and make allegations about American citizens. I guess it's only a matter of time before Uncle Putie either poisons me or calls me to Russia for my ongoing torture of his operative, RussiaLegend. ... I guess it was all worth it. I will miss y'all.
trump's own white house transcript seems to support the ABC reporters and the collective media's version... that he said no in response to the reporters question.
don't blame Sarah- she hasn't been able to have a pleasant sit down dinner in weeks other than Chik fill A and it makes it very hard to keep things straight.
