Trump Administration trying to weaken and dilute bipartisan Russian sanctions

[HipChick]

The US Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to tighten sanctions on Russia and prevent President Donald Trump from being able to unilaterally ease sanctions absent congressional approval.

“I know that some people in the White House are pushing back,” Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told Business Insider. “People in the White House, we hear, are making calls in the House to try to stop it, slow it, weaken it, dilute it.”

Today’s vote was the most significant blow the Republican President has received from the Republican Congress.

The bill was opposed by Trump’s State Department.

Maybe it's time to pay the piper, cornered by Muller, who know what Putin may start leaking on him, if he does not get those sanctions lifted...

2. All he has to do is sign an EO lifting them...*45 must be holding off for some reason...

No trust amongst Kremlin Komrades ??

[Persisted]

5. Well....the point of this legislation

Is that he wouldn't be able to lift the sanctions without Congressional approval. That's what's really driving this. The inability to rule by fiat

3. Putin getting his money's worth

[get the red out]

4. Obvious

Elephant in the living room is that all but 2 R Senators don't trust 45 to deal with Russia.
