Shock as Trump backs Putin on election meddling at summit July 15, 2018 / 6:10 PM https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-summit/shock-as-trump-backs-putin-on-election-meddling-at-summit-idUSKBN1K601D?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Social "I don’t see any reason why it would be Russia," Trump said. "President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today." Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, a Trump nominee approved by Congress, said in a statement: “We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our national security.” Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, a frequent Trump critic, said: “I never thought I would see the day when our American President would stand on the stage with the Russian President and place blame on the United States for Russian aggression. This is shameful.” Former CIA chief John Brennan went further, suggesting Trump should be removed from office: “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???” Policy and Politics - what do you think?

I just sent this letter to the editor, and emailed it via on-line form to these critical Senators: Collins, Donnelly, Manchin, Heitkamp, McCaskill, Murkowski. I hope you do so as well. https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm? Policy and Politics - what do you think?
