Maybe you need to bring yourself up to date on what it means when the President of the United States has a formal meeting with the President of the Russian Republic.

Remember, you were the one questioning whether they were acting in their official capacities.

You probably want to quit this one while you're behind.

Maybe they should hold their meetings in a public forum .

Appears that Carter Page was colluding with the Russians.

We know this because Trump has already tweeted that Page evidence proves FBI is crooked.

Collusion: thy name is Trump.

Dem leaders fend off calls to impeach Trump

President Trump's performance this past week aside Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki sparked outrage among congressional Democrats in all ways but one: There's been no surge in support for impeachment.
Instead, Democratic leaders have tamped down the impeachment push in the name of political pragmatism, fending off - for now - an effort by animated caucus liberals to escalate their oust-Trump campaign following his broadly maligned joint press conference with Putin in the Finnish capital on Monday.

Not only is impeachment highly unlikely under a GOP-controlled Congress, the leaders argue, but it could undermine the chances of Democrats winning back the House in November, when they'll need to flip seats in conservative-leaning districts where voters may be put off by an aggressive offensive to topple the president.
"At this point in time it would be a distraction. There will be time for that," said Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.), the Democratic whip, who had moments before told reporters on Tuesday that Trump's actions were "treasonous."
"We need to get through this election; we need to deal with the economic issues; we need to deal with the health care issues of the American people," Hoyer said.
The post-summit debate has highlighted long-standing tensions between liberal impeachment champions giving voice to the Democrats' anti-Trump base and party leaders warning that future efforts to check the president will be lost if Republicans keep the Speaker's gavel next year.
The divide has been fueled by liberal outside groups wary that Democrats have been too soft on the bombastic president and are at risk of deflating their core supporters - an argument underlined by last month's stunning primary defeat of Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) to an unapologetic activist, 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who backs impeachment.
"Shouldn't we put our democracy before party?" asked Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who's calling for impeachment. "Shouldn't we put our country before machinations we have about how this could affect [elections?]"

Sigh....just decided not to click on the hate trump threads until he is actually charged with a crime. Innuendo and rumors don't mean he's guilty of anything other than being a moron but hey, that's just me


When there is actually something substantive to report, maybe I'll listen at that time.

I'm not so sure he's even being a moron, Dixie, his ideas are basically good...…………...get rid of the riff raff and "bad actors", and put the U.S. first. His biggest fault in my estimation is his mouth- he opens it before he acts instead of after. If he'd have shut up about that wall, it would probably have been built by now. That Peter Emerson had me fooled for about 15 minutes, but when you evaluate his message, he's just another bag of hot air worse than Trump. I don't necessarily agree with the tariffs, but they don't bother me that much. I'll just be reducing my purchase of U.S. products. Two can play the same game. Trump is very unlikely to be charged with much. He has advisers who aren't exactly stupid, either.

Yeah, but not stupid enough to call an official meeting between heads of state private.

Well, if you'd been paying attention to the news it does appear to have been fairly private.

So, a meeting between the President of the United States, acting in his official capacity and representing the United States, and the President of the Russian Republic, acting in his official capacity and representing the Russian Republic, is private?

You're right. Nobody's business but Donald and Vladimir.

Not everything the government does is or should be common knowledge.

Mueller just sent out a request for 100 additional prosecutors.

He will be handing out plenty more cases.

Paul Manafort��s fraud trial in federal court in Va. delayed from Wednesday until July 31

President Trump��s onetime campaign chairman appeared in federal court in Virginia for the first time since being jailed in June as his lawyers asked for his trial on bank and tax fraud charges to be delayed. Judge T.S. Ellis III granted the request.

Manafort was charged in federal court in Virginia in connection with his work for a Russia-friendly political party in Ukraine. Prosecutors have alleged he hid the income to avoid paying taxes and then lied about his debt to get new loans
