Lawmakers laugh off Putin’s offer to provide evidence
</div>

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">As a parade of lawmakers appeared on television Wednesday morning to discuss the latest turmoil emerging from the White House, another piece of news broke: Russian President Vladimir Putin had offered to provide U.S. Congress a transcript of President Trump’s meeting with Russian envoys to prove that no classified secrets were divulged.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">Putin’s offer was quickly brushed off — even laughed off — by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">“I wouldn’t put much credibility on what Putin’s notes are,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Fox News.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">He added: “And if it comes in an email, I wouldn’t click on the attachment.”

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">In an appearance on CNN, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) wondered if the latest development was part of some Russian plot to undermine confidence in democracy.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">“The idea that we would accept any evidence from President Putin is absurd,” she said, smiling.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">This seemed to be the one point Republicans and Democrats could agree on, immediately, Wednesday morning.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) chuckled as CNN host Chris Cuomo asked what he made of Putin’s “generous” offer.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">“I think the last thing the president needs right now is Putin vouching for him,” Schiff told Cuomo. “All of this just gets more and more baffling every day, but I don’t think we should allow it to distract us from the very serious allegations.”

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said any evidence Putin wanted to provide probably wouldn’t have much credence on Capitol Hill.

<p style="font-size:18px;font-family:Georgia;">“I don’t talk to murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin, so Putin’s word to me doesn’t mean a whole lot,” Kinzinger said on CNN.

Liberals are probably going to run with this next without even realizing that Putin as well as some of the lawmakers quoted are all joking and basically laughing at the hysterical left wing media.

No doubt.

 

They are completely out of touch with reality.

Gotta give it Rubio.  Wittiest quote from a lawmaker since McCain's "K, the G, and the B" diss.

that was good .... but the wittiest & crudest quotes within the past few years were Trump's Republican Debate quotes at Jeb, Marco, Ted Cruz and Paul Rand.

 

Your brother was the worst president ever

Little Marco

Something about Ted's wife

Telling Rand Paul he has less than 1% and that's the reason he's way down on the end of the panel

I about spit my drink out when I read that quote.  I didn't see it, but could picture him saying it tongue-in-cheek.  Yet liberals are running with it saying that "GOP lawmakers are questioning... blah... blah... blah..".

There's no need to deflect from the topic of the thread.

So many commie sympathizers.

Russia's a'ight man. Come on.


Weird how Bernie was labeled a commie socialist.

But Putin is cool.

Strange.

Not as weird as Obama telling the Russian president he will have more flexibility after the election.

Putin is a murderous dictator. One of many in the world. He deserves all the criticism he receives.


 

But neither Putin nor Russia are communist. Bernie is.


 

More people have died because of communism than because of non-communist murdering dictators. Russia under Stalin killed more people than Hitler. China under Mao killed more people than even Stalin. And by "people" I mean innocent civilians of Russia and China.

Bernie is a Socialist, not a Communist.

Are you sure about that?


 

From each, according to ability.


To each, according to need.

I'm sure. You quote Marx, but Stalin was a Marxist-Leninist. Both Stalin and Mao perverted an already flawed idea into Totalitarianism because of their need to maintain power.

 

Nothing Bernie has proposed comes close to true Communism.
