Pissed with Putin’s Jewish Remarks, Dems Ask Trump to Extradite Russians

Democratic leading lawmakers in the House and Senate are stepping up pressure for President Donald Trump to use “all resources available” to extradite 13 Russians charged last month with interfering in the 2016 presidential election following Russian Vladimir Putin’s suggesting the possibility of Jewish involvement.

Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi led their party mates in writing a letter to the White House. The letter reads: “Ensuring these Russian nationals stand trial in the United States is imperative for deterring Russia from future attacks on our democracy and would be a signal to those who seek to meddle with our election that such actions are not without consequences.”

Putin was asked in an interview with NBC News over the weekend about the 13 Russian citizens charged by the special counsel, Robert Mueller who’s looking into the alleged election interference. Putin shot back: “Maybe they are not even Russians but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked. Maybe they have a dual citizenship or a green card. Maybe the U.S. paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know either.”

Putin’s comments went viral, and many commentators regarded his remarks as a clear echo of the anti-Semitism that has been associated with Russia’s history since at least the 19th century.

Jewish groups in the U.S. and some Israeli politicians also criticized Putin’s comments for suggesting that Jews might have been behind the alleged hacking attacks on the 2016 Presidential election in the U.S.

Democrats are also calling on Trump to condemn Putin’s comments since they said those were “unacceptable.” They also said that the so-called type of anti-Semitism has been a recent “resurgence among populist, far-right leaders around the world.”

The letter from Democratic lawmakers outlines several steps they are suggesting the Justice and State departments take in forcing the 13 Russians’ extradition, such as pressing Interpol to issue what is effectively an international arrest warrant and using existing diplomatic channels, including raising the issue directly with Putin.

They specified that an Interpol notice for one “can severely restrict a fugitive’s ability to love and travel overseas.”

Ah the misplaced priorities of Dems again. No wonder Putin is just laughing it off while drinking. Cheers to stupid Dems! Go help the economy instead!

If you want to know who rules over you, note who you are not allowed to discuss? Verified. It's a cartel of thieves with a lot in common.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety
of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching
to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!

First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to
figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thank you!
