Voters want to know what was said in Trump-Putin meeting

Most of what we have learned has come from the Russians. The private meeting was a poor idea in the first place.

Trump won’t attack Putin

Blaming Obama for Russian interference in 2016 is like blaming a bank for being robbed instead of the robber.

Donald Trump has attacked:

Amazon
NFL players who kneel
Judges
Robert De Niro
Harley Davidson
Mitch McConnell
The Red Hen
Jeff Sessions
UCLA basketball players
Oprah
Maxine Waters

But nary a negative word about Vladimir Putinhttps://t.co/A4hCw8eHQ6

Trump’s security clearance idea is just a distraction from the Helsinki fiasco

Trump politicizes everything. Now is he again attacking people who criticizes him.

Revoking clearances is also such a dumb self-own. Former officials' clearances largely help those still on the job, providing institutional memory and hard lessons from history. We will be less safe because of it. https://t.co/MQ4SNijfIs

Worst week for Trump since Charlottesville comments. Pathetic.
