Mitch McConnell's office: "no immediate comment" on Trump's remarks in Helsinki



House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement that Russia undoubtedly interfered in the 2016 election.

“The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally. There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals,” Ryan said.

Another Republican, Senator John McCain, described Trump’s summit with Putin as “a tragic mistake.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office said he had no immediate comment on Trump’s remarks in Helsinki.

I hope he's got plenty of room to stretch out in there, plus a wet bar and cable, because I don't expect him to come out any time soon.

Time to get him on record to stop Trump's SCOTUS appointment until after Mueller's report is issued and the situation is resolved. Either Trump is guilty or exonerated.

"I fully support the Tangerine Treason Weasel" in a way that sounds...um, not treasonous.
