McCain: Trump's meeting with Putin 'should not move forward'

Sen. John McCain praised the Department of Justice's announcement of the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for interfering in the 2016 presidential election, adding President Donald Trump shouldn't meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin unless he holds him accountable.

"President Trump must be willing to confront Putin from a position of strength and demonstrate that there will be a serious price to pay for his ongoing aggression towards the United States and democracies around the world," the Arizona senator said in a statement Friday. "If President Trump is not prepared to hold Putin accountable, the summit in Helsinki should not move forward."

The statement came hours after the Justice Department announced indictments against 12 Russian nationals as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, accusing them of engaging in a "sustained effort" to hack Democrats' emails and computer networks.

Trump is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin -- who has denied election meddling -- in Helsinki on Monday for a summit that includes a one-on-one meeting with only interpreters present....

There’s no limit to McCain’s jealousy. And I mean every McCain — Juan, Cindy, and Meghan. Children are less transparent when they’re jealous.

I also used to think it was Cindy McCain who was speaking for hubby Juan.

Now, I’m pretty much convinced that his statements come directly from the DNC head.

He’s left the senate because he’s too sick to work but apparently not too sick to STFU!

It’s simple. The establishment/left is pulling out all stops to deny Trump another foreign policy victory. Trump has been on a winning streak and they are desperately trying to stop it.

Yep - if he’d gone with Sarah and fought for election instead of spreading so many “My friend” pieces of pap out and stopped boasting about being a maverick (by the way, was that Bret, Bart, or mad cow?) he might have had a chance...now he’s washed up and searching for a legacy that will never be....God rest him and those who love him.

“...there will be a serious price to pay for his ongoing aggression towards the United States and democracies around the world,”

And what might that serious price be asswipe? You want WW3 with Russia? Just because he had bad luck in uniform he wants to make sure every other mother’s son does too.

"John is afraid Putin will turn over the Songbird file."

:) I think your absolutely right about that... The dimocraps have been playing footsie with the Russians for years... If I recall correctly, "Watergate" was said to have been investigation into collusion between the Russians (actually the Cubans, which is same thing) and the dimocraps.... Juan McPain did go (or did he send someone?) to Russia to get the dope on Trump...

I really think Juan and Ted Kennedy went to the same school of one world communism, they just rode different buses....

McCain’s face-to-face with Satan should be moved up.

I thinks he previously announced he would resign/retire on July 4th. ....Guess his remaining gray matter forgot, or he is hanging on to be a thorn in the side of POTUS.

McCain is a large POS!

“Gee, I wonder what they are so afraid of?”

You know, as soon as Rosenstein made his second “Russia Connected” indictments yesterday, I thought, they are really, really, really afraid of Trump having ANY dialogue with Putin.

What could Putin have that the deep state fears so much?

Details. Lots and lots of fill-in-the-blanks DETAILS.

Hold the meeting Mr. Trump, alone. Just like you planned to do before their antics.

And, If John McCain is against it, then by God I’m all for it!

His fat daughter wants his Senate seat.
She’s been practicing acting conservative on the View.

If McCain doesn’t think the meeting should move forward,then common sense says it probably should.
