Trump wants Congress to water-down sanctions against Russia

Guess what? Donald Trump is trying to get Congress to water down a bill that would impose sanctions against Russia for meddling in the 2016 election. Why? Because that way Trump would not have to veto it.

From The New York Times:

The White House is quietly lobbying House Republicans to weaken a bill overwhelmingly passed by the Senate last week that would slap tough new sanctions on Russia for its meddling in the 2016 election and allow Congress to block any future move by President Trump to lift any penalties against Moscow.

The effort is designed to head off an awkward and politically damaging veto fight between the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress on Russia at a time when Mr. Trump is laboring under the shadow of multiple investigations about his campaign’s potential collusion with Moscow.

Which means Trump's claim that there was no collusion with Russia is bullshit.

That or there IS a pee tape.

OR there is a huge conflict of interests.

Or all of the above.

I vote for all of the above.
