Rosenstein just gave a press conference- it was related to Russian election hacking; he listed 11 counts?? I didn't catch who it was that was being indicted, though- possibly not any Americans.

DH said he just got a message from one of the news outlets that it is Russian spies, related to election hacking.

Rep. Joe Kennedy...
“POTUS should either publicly demand extradition of these 12 Russian officials to stand trial or call off his summit. @realdonaldtrump should not lend legitimacy to an adversary that attacks our democracy.”
I wonder if this announcement was made today because of trump’s visit with Putin?

Did Trump not ASK the Russians to release info during the debates? If they did, could this not PROVE conspiracy and election tampering?
I hope all of this gets his election classified as null and void.

Statements like this is why the press should all STAND UP AND WALK OUT. Leave him standing there alone. THAT would piss him off more than anything.
They really should start doing that.

Thread worth reading.
Trump is asked to elaborate on how immigrants have damaged the "culture" of Europe. He says: "I think it's been very bad for Europe...Europe is a place I know very well and I think what has happened is very tough...you see the same terror attacks that I do."
Trump doesn't explain what he meant by "culture." He says: "I know it's politically not necessarily correct to say that, but I'll say it, and I'll say it loud. I think they better watch themselves, because they are changing culture."
After Trump's anti-immigrant monologue, May begins by standing up for them: "The UK has a proud history of welcoming people who are fleeing persecution...people who want to come to our country to contribute...Immigration has been good for the UK."
Trump says he has given NATO more "spirit" "than NATO probably has ever had."
Trump: "We've become an oil exporter, which wouldn't have happened under the past regime or a new regime if it weren't us." The U.S. has official data on oil exports going back 100 years. It's still not a net exporter.
Trump: "We have been far tougher on Russia than anybody.
For the 45th time, Trump falsely claims, of China, "We're behind, every year, for many years, $500 billion." The U.S. has never once had a $500 billion trade deficit with China. It was $337 billion last year.
Trump is bashing U.S. media outlets, including NBC and CNN. He adds, "We have a lot of false reporting in this country. I don't think you have that in your country, prime minister." May does a forced laugh.
Standing beside May, Trump repeats, "Boris Johnson I think would be a great prime minister." He says he also said May herself is doing a "fantastic job."

For the 9th time, Trump falsely claims the EU won't take American farm products. (The U.S. sold $11.6 billion in agricultural products to the EU last year.) For the 20th time, Trump falsely claims the trade deficit with the EU is $151 billion. ($102 billion including services.)
Trump on his Brexit advice to May: "I think she found it maybe too brutal. · Trump to a CNN reporter trying to ask a question: "CNN is fake news. I don't take questions from CNN. John Roberts of Fox. ·
Trump on his challenge trying to watch the Strzok testimony yesterday: "Here it's a different time zone, to put it mildly."
Told that Russia continues to "illegally occupy" Crimea, Trump says, "Yes, they do." (I wouldn't make much of this.) He proceeds to bash Obama, saying Obama failed "badly" on Crimea.
Trump cites his smart scientist uncle in saying he has a good understanding of nuclear proliferation: "I understand nuclear. Look up Dr. John Trump at MIT...I used to talk nuclear with him."
Trump says he can't overestimate how big yesterday's imaginary developments at NATO were: "I mean, they had spirit..I'll tell you what, every single person in that room was gung-ho to get it done, get the money in."

Benjy Sarlin...
.” @kendilaniannbc notes indictment alleges Russia "on or about July 27, 2016" started trying to access Clinton's personal emails. Which is the same day Trump gave his "Russia if you're listening, I hope your able to find the 30,000 emails..." news conference.”
This is getting interesting.

Heck yeah! I think he timed it on purpose for sure. I seriously love Mueller. He wins troll of the year award with this, dropping 2 days before 45 meets Putin.

I'm sure the timing of this has much to do with Trump's yearly performance review with Putin. It's impossible for him to go to Helsinki now and just take Putin's word that Russia had nothing to do with the election interference. It makes it crystal clear which side Trump is on - will he defend America and American institutions, or will he put his allegiance with Russia?
As far as the people indicted - sure, they may never actually be taken into custody. But a lot of Russians with the means to do so enjoy traveling. France gets a ton of Russian visitors. London is popular. They like visiting the US as well. All of that is now over. These people won't be able to go very many places outside of Russia without risking extradition. And that's if Putin doesn't just decide that they have outlived their usefulness. We may start seeing some high-ranking GRU/FSB people committing suicide by two shots to the back of the head, before climbing into a duffel bag in the back of a car.

Because he can, because the system of checks and balances depends on people doing the right thing. As the party in power in all 3 branches it is up to the GOP to take action and they have proven that they will not.
