NBC: Dems call on Trump to cancel Putin summit after Russian hacking indictments
“Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
WASHINGTON — Top Democrats called Friday for President Donald Trump to cancel his planned summit next week with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the announcement by the Justice Department that 12 Russian intelligence officers had been indicted over the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign during the 2016 presidential race.
“President Trump should cancel his meeting with Vladimir Putin until Russia takes demonstrable and transparent steps to prove that they won’t interfere in future elections,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement shortly after the announcement. “Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy.”

WNU Editor: The summit is not going to be cancelled. But the timing of this Department of Justice announcement .... 3 days before Presdient Trump is suppose to meet Russian President Putin .... coupled with Democrats rushing to the microphone even before the announcement of today's indictments were finished .... proves to me on how fixed this entire Mueller investigation and Department of Justice investigation has become. And as I had predicted in the previous post, even though Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein makes it very clear that no Americans are involved in the indictment, that the election result would not have been altered in anyway, and that no Americanswere/ are involved in this indictment, the current media narrative that I am seeing right now on TV and elsewhere is that this proves Russian collusion, and that President Trump by meeting President Putin is complicit in these allegations.
