According to John Bolton, President Trump has decided to delay his invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the White House for a second summit. The visit will be postponed until at least the first of next year.
Reports suggest this is a response to intense Congressional opposition to the invitation. Bolton also suggested that Trump wanted to wait until after the Mueller investigation is over to have the meeting.
Trump and Putin met earlier this month in Helsinki, their first summit since Trump’s election. Though by administration accounts the meeting went quite well, it \also sparked a lot of media and lawmaker criticism, with many believing Trump should’ve been more hostile.
Inviting Putin for a second summit was initially seen as an attempt by Trump to defend the progress made, but the criticism has only continued. This is why many believe the delay amounts to Trump trying to back away from the summit.
Trump is more of a manipulator of media than that. He dangled a peace move, then pulled it back and blamed his opposition: “We’d be better off if my unreasonable opponents did not torch peace just to get at me.” He’s is selling that, true or not, realistic or not.
No doubt Trump is right again look at how they talk and vote . look how they played Ukraine and Georgia too . And than blamed every thing on Russia . We can’t get rid of these war hawks fast enough to suit me

For sure the meeting should take place before the elections We might even get some new congressmen that are more answerable to their voters Ron Paul would love to get this meeting going and could be a great help to Trump . If Trump thinks he is going to wait until the witch hunt is over He will be waiting until he is out of office
Putin refused the invitation 3 days ago. I saw it go across on the Fox News scrollbar. It said Russia felt the proposed meeting was too soon from Helsinki.
The real reason was McConnell’s public statement that Putin would not be allowed to set foot in the Capitol Building.
Then the story was quashed by the CIA/Pentagon media division because the policy is that it must be the U.S.’s prerogative to call off the invitation. Trump did not call this off at all… they just need the public to believe that the U.S. is always the boss of any situation and always calls the shots.
And who’s to say a pvt call between them didn’t occur, and to heck with the Deep State’s old protocol, it’s Trump’s world, and such a call would be more his style. Good for the both of them, Mueller’s going down soon.
Putting off the meeting until after the Mueller Probe only guarantees that the probe will never end.
Chickensh*t move, bro.
Mueller cannot let his “probe” end – there are too many after Mueller, it’s his (their) only defense. If he ends it, it’s open season, and many will lead that charge. Because it will suck in (not just the Obama Muslim Brotherhood crowd) but many in the old Bush admins who took their bribes (like Mueller) – hence the Deep State, etc. etc. etc.- Mueller’s old Deep State bosses are still powerful – too bad the MSM that openly hated Bush now have to write articles extolling his virtues. LOL!
With no agenda for these meetings, there is no there, there. Just some nebulous “peace meeting”….last I checked, we weren’t at war. Perhaps with no agenda, Putin considers it a waste of time and money.
Robert Mueller, that odious toad of a terrorist from way back, Mr. Keep A Lid On iT, and placed head of the FBI one week before 9/11…(after cleaning up some West Coast traces to the then upcoming 9/11 terrorists), (as any schoolboy of his intel stuff knows it was supposed to go down in August 2001, and was postponed)… Mueller will never drop his kangaroo court, as it is the only thing keeping him out of jail, domestic and international. The Saudi’s and Bush’s (esp. old man Bush who ran them all), didn’t count on the Iran brotherhood links to Richardson, TX leaking … leaking all over Mueller’s head. And now – LOL! – Iran has to pay the 9/11 victims! But – you’re still going down Bobby boy. One way or the other. We will out-wait you and yours. Time is nothing, timing is everything. 3,000 lost in 9/11, and countless others who paid the price, and you’re sitting there, still screwing with the world, and my President. We’re waiting.
