Indictment of 12 Russian spies heaps pressure on Trump
President preparing to meet Vladimir Putin in Helsinki

Donald Trump has commented for the first time on the indictment of 12 Russians by special counsel Robert Mueller, choosing to blame Barack Obama for not “doing something about” election interference including the hacking of Democratic party emails.

Trump will meet Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.

On Saturday, from Scotland, the US president tweeted: “The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration. Why didn’t they do something about it, especially when it was reported that President Obama was informed by the FBI in September, before the Election?”

According to widespread reporting and Obama aides including vice-president Joe Biden, chief of staff Denis McDonough and senior adviser Ben Rhodes, Obama attempted to formulate a bipartisan statement on Russian election interference in September 2016, two months before the election, but saw the effort “watered down” by Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.

In a memoir, Rhodes called McConnell’s action “staggeringly partisan and unpatriotic in its disregard for a foreign adversary undermining our democracy”.

1. Same pattern for trump

He blames others for the problems HE"S caused , like he's done overseas with our allies over and over again , and starts the problems , blames others for it, then claims he's fixed it, as he'll soon do after meeting Putin , and say its taken care of now because he says so. He also did the same thing with NK, and is doing to all agreements with allies then will claim he took care of all them because he's trump. Believe me my ass , he's as corrupt as they come , and all you have to do is watch his patterns he repeats over and over again, like when he wants you to believe a lie, he repeats 2-5 times and then exaggerates the lie even more . He is a professional con man , a serial liar , and thinks he IS above the rule of law. He uses these issues to divide like with the NFL and other businesses, only when they do what he wants he wants more, and they realize (the NFL) they've screwed up giving in to anything for him, and as many now will do. Ge'll continue taking until someone stops him.

These 12 indictments and associations of "americans" traitors is chapter 2 in this book and chapter 3 will be the indictments of the american's.................

3. Not as good as walking in front of Queen Liz or

telling millions of people the shocking Sun video, where he threatened to end our nearly 400-year trade with England, was fake news. A whole lot of white Americans regard England as our "mother country," so hopefully that's a shocker that hits some guts where children in cages cannot.

Heading for the midterms, everything that reveals this mentally disordered, depraved and despicable man for what he is is good. As long as he doesn't actually, figuratively speaking, shoot someone down in the street to how he can.

5. Is he going to defect?

6. He can give classified information directly to his "buddy"

8. Why didn't Obama stop me from conspiring with my commie buddies?

While screaming and whining his lying charges that Obama was wiretapping him like a dictator.

10. Weakest defense ever

I'd call it a parking ticket defense. If they didn't ticket you at the time, you're off scot-free

11. If America's dream came true

And the whole election was deemed invalid (well, a girl can dream...), would that "un-do" any appointments, laws and/or executive orders made during that invalidated administration?

I think we should keep our hopes high - this thing may be coming to a head before too long..
