Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Friday called on President Trump to cancel his summit with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin in the wake 12 Russian intelligence officers being charged with conspiring to hack Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy,” Schumer (N.Y.) said in a statement less than an hour after Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein detailed the new charges at a midday news conference.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Putin on Monday in Helsinki. During a joint news conference Friday with British Prime Minister Theresa May in Britain, Trump told reporters he would raise the issue of Russian interference in the election with Putin but that he doesn’t expect a “Perry Mason” moment, where Putin confesses to meddling.

The accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The President should ignore Schumer.

Schumer and Warner are scared to death of another Trump success.

UpChuck Schumer needs to find himself running after reporters who will cover him after November. To the polls Freeps, and bring a friend!

I think what the libs are really afraid of is that their weaponization of the Intel agencies was aimed at Joos and Israel due to the Dem devotion to the Iran Deal. the “Russians” thy first went after, such as the bank they spied on, were Jewish with dual citizenship in Israel.

Schumer especially since he needs the JINO vote.

What a coincidence that this carefully prepared press release was researched, written , printed, and publicized less than one hour after the sealed indictments were announced!

Shoe-mer is an a-hoe.

The accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The President should ignore Schumer.

In Soviet Russia America you are GUILTY until proven Innocent.

[laplata]

Mikhail Gorbachev must be laughing at Schumer and the rest of the bastard Dems.

What ever happened to Obama’s open mike statement?

“Tell Vladimir that after the election I can be more flexible”

[Flaming Conservative]

What an idiot. Did Schumer not hear Rosenstein say that he had notified President Trump LAST WEEK, of the indictments? It’s just another tool in Trump’s toolbox.

[Fast Moving Angel]

What a coincidence that those “indictments” were announced today!

Exactly ... timing is everything.

[Karoo]

Warner actually looked like he was afraid. Really afraid of what might happen. These people are pitiful.

[faithhopecharity]

Schumer has really gone off the deep end this time! Ha!

[Billthedrill]

Yeah. An insignificant DC pipsqueak indicts 12 people he’ll never even set eyes on and the entire foreign policy of the United States kowtows. That’ll happen.
