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 reason Peter was laughing so much yesterday is he knew this was coming.... they all knew this was coming. Once again, out flanked by the left.

Sure, Trump gets his shots, but the big game here belongs to the DOJ/FBI.

[JusPasenThru]

I saw what you did there.

[Robe]

Hey Chuckie go Schumer yourself !!!!

[txrefugee]

Rosenweasel can blabber all he wants about “the rule of law,” but it’s a total lie as long as Hillary, Huma, Cheryl Mills and Debbie Wasserman Schulz are roaming freely. If we tax drones had committed any of their obvious crimes, we would be in prison.

This political stunt today by our crooked Deputy AG was a desperate move by the Deep State to keep Putin from being believed when he tells the President in their private meeting what he knows about the attempted coup to remove him from office. They know that Putin knows, and that’s why Schumer and others will keep calling on the President to cancel the meeting.

This is nothing but Chuckie Schemer spewing strategically schemed fodder to fool low info voter crowd on Trump colluded with Russia crap.

It means absolutely nothing.

[Socon-Econ]

Great strategy — indict people who cannot fight back because they’d have to submit to the jurisdiction of a kangaroo court in the USA, and then use the indictment to keep Trump from meeting with Putin.

The DOJ and FBI have set themselves up as the 4th branch of government, answerable to no one else. The other branches are checked, especially by the new 4th branch. Therefore, the new 4th branch has all the power. This will not change without a revolution, or maybe when the President retakes the 4th branch.

Hillary Aide Huma Abedin Forwarded State Passwords to Yahoo Before It Was Hacked by Russian and Foreign Agents
By Luke Rosiak, The Daily Caller / January 02, 2018 /

Abedin, a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, routed sensitive information through Yahoo multiple times.

Huma Abedin forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo email account before every single Yahoo account was hacked, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of emails released as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch shows. Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work.

This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was affected by one or more of a series of breaches—at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised 3 billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, regularly forwarded work emails to her personal humamabedin@yahoo.com address.
“She would use these accounts if her [State] account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” an FBI report says.

Abedin sent passwords for her government laptop to her Yahoo account on Aug. 24, 2009, an email released by the State Department in September shows. Long-time Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal sent Clinton an email in July 2009 with the subject line: “Important. Not for circulation. You only. Sid.” The email began “CONFIDENTIAL … Re: Moscow Summit.” Abedin forwarded the email to her Yahoo address, potentially making it visible to hackers.

The email was deemed too sensitive by the government to release to the public and was redacted before being published pursuant to the Judicial Watch lawsuit. The released copy says: “Classified by DAS/ A/GIS, DoS on 10/30/2015 Class: Confidential.” The unredacted portion reads: “I have heard authoritatively from Bill Drozdiak, who is in Berlin. … We should expect that the Germans and Russians will now cut their own separate deals on energy, regional security, etc.” —SNIP—

March 30 , 2018 The myopic Mueller and the corrupt FBI crowd see Russian agents behind every Republican filing cabinet. But they are sickeningly apathetic about Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton’s policies, decisions, and actions that gave aid and comfort to Russia.

Obama and Hillary’s major flopola——the much-mocked “Russian reset button”-—— established the tone for Obama and the Clintons’ coziness with the Kremlin.

BACKSTORY On March 6, 2009, during a trip to Geneva, she presented Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov a small, red button. Halfrican Obama, and Secy Hillary thought it was emblazoned with the Russian word for “reset.” The button actually read “overload.” Nonetheless, Clinton and Lavrov jointly pressed the symbolic button.

A new era in US–Russian relations had begun.

THE OBAMA/HILLARY RUSSIAN LOVE AFFAIR-—While visiting Moscow on March 24, 2010, Secy Hillary explained the Reset Button’s purpose: “Our goal (meaning Obama and the State Dept) is to help strengthen Russia.”

March 30 No need to ask Obama and Clinton about their Russian connections-----the paper trail is long and wide.

HILLARY'S STATE DEPT----AND THE OBAMA YEARS---UNRELENTING SCANDAL
By Ari Lieberman

EXCERPT The taxpayer financed-Skolkovo Scandal – While serving as secretary of state, Clinton oversaw a program meant to “reset” relations with Moscow and improve ties. The program centered around the Russian city of Skolkovo near Moscow with the stated aim of “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the American and Russian people.”

Hillary's State Dept program transformed Skolkovo into a technology hub akin to a Silicon Valley. Sensitive American technology was transferred to the Russians, substantially enhancing their military and cyber capabilities. The US Army and the FBI concluded that Russia had exploited the program for military applications. The FBI warned American technology companies doing business in Skolkovo that the Skolkovo project was a means by which the Russians would acquire dual use technologies and apply them for military ends. According to investigative author Peter Schweizer, Russian and American companies and individuals involved in the Skolkovo fiasco “had major financial ties to the Clintons.”

Moreover, during the Russian reset period, those entities provided the Clintons with “tens of millions of dollars” in the form of “contributions to the Clinton Foundation, paid for speeches by Bill Clinton, or investments in small start-up companies with deep Clinton ties.” (hat tip frontpagemagazine.com)

Of all the spurious excuses she gives for her loss, the most ludicrous is that
Hillary says she lost her "sure-thing election" because "Putin doesn't like me."

Comey sucked-up bigtime---told Congress Putin wanted to "harm" Hillary.

===============================================

Hillary once bragged that she, alone, was brought into Putin's inner sanctum
where she assured Putin she was worried about wildlife like he was.

Dam...Putim musta outright lied when he told Hilary they were BFF.

Secy Hillary and Obama were eager to please Russia
w/ the friendly reset button. Too bad it backfired.

================================================

Ex-Pres Clinton is s-o-o-o-o friendly he traveled to Russia to clinch the uranium giveaway deal.
And to pocket a $500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank plus a sizeable commission.

Billybooboo even used his friendly hokey hillbilly act on Putin.

Oh, I’m not suggesting we will beat him in NY. I’m suggesting we’ll beat the Dems so handily in November they will essentially be a non-entity. No money. No power. No voice.

[rrrod]

Trump will carry on....

[Liz]

Gotta wonder how Schumer claims to know so much about Russian stuff?

Could it be his district's constituents-----including high level Russian government apparatchniks------gave him inside info?

Schumer's onetime Congressional district is known as Little Odessa-----home to numerous Russian expatriates.

How much money did Schumer collect from thee Russians in campaign donations?

[READINABLUESTATE]

Chuck the Schmuk is an insult to our democracy.

Most of the media coverage of Russian meddling alludes to an attempt to effect 2016's outcome.

Some who have seen the Facebook ads says that swaying the 2016 election was *NOT* the main goal," Facebook's VP wrote on Twitter.

[Liz]

NEED TO KNOW: Mueller says he indicted the 13 Ruskis b/c they made "disparaging remarks" about candidate Hillary?

<><> when did Hillary's campaign report this criminality?

<><> who did they report it to?

<><> did the campaign notify American voters about the plot?

[hsmomx3]

That’s absurd. For all we know, these Russians could be fake!

[Right Wing Assault]

Everyone is joining #RunAwayFromChuckie. Trump can do what he wants. He and Putin will have a laugh at Schumer and Mueller.
