Trump: 'I Hadn't Thought' of Asking Putin to Extradite Indicted Russians

President Trump says he has “low expectations” for his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday, but he’s already certain that “nothing bad is going to come out of it.” Speaking on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday, Trump said that regardless of the results of the meeting, it will be a “good thing.” The president has pushed ahead with the meeting despite calls from some lawmakers to cancel it in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s recent indictment against 12 Russian intelligence officials. Trump has promised to raise the issue of Moscow’s election meddling when he speaks with Putin, but most of his comments on the latest indictment have focused not on Russia, but on former President Barack Obama. “They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration,” he told CBS News when asked about the indictment. Asked whether he might ask Putin to extradite the 12 indicted Russians, he said he “hadn’t thought of” it but “might.”

1. Are his senior advisors silent also Have they not talked with Trump?? WTF is

going on!! I really do not expect to 'think' about this issue anymore, but god!! Does he not have people talking to him??

[Zoonart]

3. Where are the vaunted generals?

Hs General Kelly had his tongue removed along with his soul? TREASON is the REASON.

5. Trump is only listening to his EGO!

[Yonnie3]

7. If he has knowledgeable people talking to him, it's in one ear and out the other.

Miller, Hannity, Putin, etc. are another matter. In my mind's eye I can see him sprawled on his bed littered with fast food wrappers, with a phone to his ear, breathlessly saying "Sean, tell me again how smart I am."

2. The pResident does not give a shit that our election has been attacked.

It's a mulligan because it was during the Obama administration,... so no collusion... no war on democracy.
Every day it gets worse. America... what are we waiting for?

4. "They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration," he told CBS News.

So he says "it" happened but it really was the Black Guy's fault

[Docreed2003]

6. Exactly....he never misses a chance to take a swing at Obama

[Botany]

12. Something else that happened when the Obama administration was in power

7/27/16 Russia hacked into HRC's computer that day.

[watoos]

8. Maybe someone should ask him the next logical question,

are you considering bringing back Obama to deal with the problem?

[rurallib]

9. Geez, louise! And I heard he was a GENIUS!

[Grammy23]

19. Yep. You probably did hear that. From HIM.

It is his favorite subject.

[lark]

10. Nothing bad for him will come out of this, America though will certainly be harmed.

It's obviously going to include plans on hacking the next elections, ways to do it more secretly and more widespread this time because they will need it. Why else would these meetings have to be so secret from Americans, but not from Russians? They're up to no good and unless Russia trolls him again by releasing some information, we'll never know for sure.

11. Same old , same old

trump will claim something happened that's all bs, like i asked him to get these people , and then he'll say "we'll see" , knowing he won't, and probably didn't ask him at all. He'll again claim putin wants xyz , then he'll give it to him in exchange like he did in NK for development deals we'll hear about, not consequences for anything he's done. trumps a willing asset of putin, and trumps getting even more arrogant about it. Soon he'll be bragging how easy it was for them to undermine this country's government for themselves. trump knows exactly what he's doing, and for putin too.

13. Absolute no plans whatsoever except "How's it hangin' there, buddy?"

What’s it like to be a real strongman? How do you get so many votes?

[truthisfreedom]

14. "Do you think I'd look good on a horse? Does this golf cart

make my ass look fat?”

[Kali]

15. So, because a crime happened when somebody else was managing the company,

the new manager doesn't deal with the criminals still hovering around in the parking lot?

[forgotmylogin]

16. He has "low expectations"

The cockholster isn't going have a chance to do much talking.

[Doitnow]

17. Hmmmm---no thoughts of defending America? Enough said.

[Orsino]

18. The guy blackmailed into dismantling NATO and the EU per Putin's orders...

...is not going to be asking Putin to disarm.

Now watch him give up Crimea, too.
