I’ve been listening to Chuck Schumer and other Democrats call on our National Embarrassment to cancel his one-on-one with Putin. The position is that because there’s so much evidence – like the 12 Russians just indicted for conspiracy – linking the Russians to attempted disruptions of the last “election” it’s probably not a good idea to have a private, one-on-one meeting.
That’s the correct position, of course, but only in a world where right and wrong matter. We no longer live in that world so, right or wrong, the meeting proceeds. Besides, do you actually think a spy enjoys the authority to tell their handler whether or not they’ll answer a call? I don’t think so. Putin calls, Trump responds. That’s the way it works.
I’ll tell you this: Trump will be lucky if Putin doesn’t make Trump blow him before they trade information and the next assignment…you know, just to show who’s boss…
