Oh, what I would have done to be a fly on the wall of Trump and Putin’s meeting earlier this week.
There’s been a lot of speculation as to what all was discussed, but this morning Trump released his own account of how it all went down:
I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I’ve already given my opinion…..

…We negotiated a ceasefire in parts of Syria which will save lives. Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!

Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

…and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't….

…have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?

Sanctions were not discussed at my meeting with President Putin. Nothing will be done until the Ukrainian & Syrian problems are solved!

I actually am of the camp that we should work towards solving our problems with Russia in order to work together towards defeating a common enemy: ISIS. I don’t think many other nations have the capacity or willingness to take on the ISIS threat that Russia does.
The fact that this meeting didn’t end in some blowout disagreement should be a GOOD THING. Adam Schiff is already acting like it’s the end of the world. Of course he is.
