***BREAKING ***Congress Reaches Deal on Russia Sanctions, Creating Bleak Choice for Trump
WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on sweeping sanctions legislation to punish Russia for its election-meddling and aggression toward its neighbors, they said Saturday, defying the White House’s argument that President Trump needs flexibility to adjust the sanctions to fit his diplomatic initiatives with Moscow.
The new legislation sharply limits the president’s ability to suspend or terminate the sanctions. At a moment when investigations into the Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian officials have cast a shadow over his presidency, Mr. Trump could soon face a bleak decision: veto the bill — and fuel accusations that he is doing the bidding of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — or sign legislation imposing sanctions his administration abhors.
The White House has not publicly spoken about the compromise legislation. But two senior administration officials said they could not imagine Mr. Trump vetoing the legislation in the current political atmosphere, even if he regards it as interfering with his executive authority to conduct foreign policy. But as ever, Mr. Trump retains the capacity to surprise, and this would be his first decision about whether to veto a significant bill.
Congress has complicated his choice because the compromise legislation also encompasses new sanctions against Iran and North Korea, two countries the administration has been eager to punish for its activities.
A sanctions package had stalled in the Republican-led House for weeks after winning near-unanimous support in the Senate last month. Democrats accused Republicans of delaying quick action on the bill at the behest of the Trump administration, which had asked for more flexibility in its relationship with Russia and took up the cause of energy companies, defense contractors and other financial players who suggested that certain provisions could harm American businesses.

Leaking on him?
Those of us with the emotional maturity of 12 year old boys appreciated the pee-pee joke. 
Seriously?
This.
And as you said, they have kompromat on him for days including and "allegedly" all of his Federal taxes
He can't be too happy TODAY about this sanctions bill, we know that 😂
What's he gonna do, fire the Senate & Congress like he did Comey?
"Now, which Vladimir Putin are they referring to this time ?" 
People keep asking why don't the Democrats do something!!!!! I get tired of explaining that the majority party controls everything in Congress, including whether or not something even gets taken up in committee, whether or not an investigation is ordered, etc.
The same people who don't understand how Congress works are the ones who voted third party as some kind of asinine protest and got us in this fix in the first place.
