While I agree that Schumer is a complete imbecile I wasn't very happy with the presser.  Putin bamboozled Bush and Obama and if the private meeting went like the press conference then he may have fooled Trump as well.  I am hoping that Trump took Putin to task for Syria, Crimea, the stupid election shenanigans, etc.  If not, it was a missed opportunity to differentiate himself from his last two predecessors.  While there has been zero evidence that there was collusion, there is evidence aplenty that Russia was up to their usual foul play in 2016.  We do it, they do it, all governments do it......but when you get caught there ought to be ramificantions.  I think Trump is so fixated on this phony collusion thing that he is unwilling in public to take a strong stance against the obvious.

On a side note, the joke in DC is that the most dangerous place to be inside the beltwai is between Chuckie Schumer and a camera.  He and the others on the left are missing a golden opportunity to legitimately criticize Trump for the presser by acting like lunatics.  Expect a lot of damage control by Bolton and others for the next couple of weeks.  They need it.
