    We need a bipartisan, independent, 911-like commission to investigate foreign meddling in our elections.

    But if Trump admires Putin, why doesnt he act like him? Putin didnt roll over when we kicked out 35 of his, but Trump did in response to 755

    Replying to @McFaul
    POTUS just likes the guy. Remember "strong control over a country"? Trump said during the primaries how much he admires Putin. No surprises!

    When Obama kicked out 35 Russian diplomats, Putin --a "strong" leader admired by Trump -- retaliated. In response, Trump did nothing. Weak.

    ICYMI, one of the most embarrassing, unpatriotic, and uninformed comments our president has made (recently)

    There is nothing conservative, Republican, patriotic or MAGA-ish about appeasement of Putin. Nothing.

    How can Trump supporters praise the president's tough talk on North Korea and defend his weak talk on Putin? I just don't get it

    Heartfelt gratitude to for brilliantly, and indeed patriotically explicating Trump's unprecedented dismissal of our diplomats.

    First 20 minutes of are unmissable tonight. Trump's final appeasement of Putin -- denigrating our embassy staff -- explained.

    It sometimes seems like Putin is the only politician in the world who Trump hasn't criticized. Who else is on that list?

    The burgeoning feud between Trump and McConnell has gripped the capital.

    Agreed

    A profound ignorance of diplomacy and mindless disdain for diplomats is nothing to be proud of, no matter what your politics are.

    All of those diplomats are still on USG payroll they're just unable to advance US interests in Russia.

    Its a nice place, I agree. Was just there for Russian National Day in June. We could return favor & help Russian taxpayers save money.

    My thinking: if Washington really wants to take away Russia's nicest U.S. consulate, they'll close down the SF one.

    Nice to see this statement from Amb Heffern. I hope his boss at State and his "big boss" at the White House will make similar statements.

    The State and inter-agency community is thinking about our colleagues in Moscow and Consulates as they prepare for difficult weeks ahead.

    Punk Putin?! Cmon man ! I know Putin. He is not punked by these silly comments. Putin will see Trumps comments as another sign of weakness

    Imagine dissing Americans --patriots serving our country under difficult conditions in Russia -to praise Putin. Our president did today.

    Imagine wanting to have less capability to gather data about dangerous transnational diseases originating in Russia!Trump seems to want that
