a grand jury has pressed charges.

What does that means?  That the court will decide.

Here is what Putin had said:

Now let's get back to the issue of this 12 alleged intelligence officers of Russia. I don't know the full extent of the situation, but President Trump mentioned this issue and I will look into it.

So far, I can say the following: the things that are off the top of my head. We have an acting, an existing agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation, an existing treaty, that dates back to 1999, the mutual assistance on criminal cases. This treaty is in full effect. It works quite efficiently.

On average, we initiate about 100-150 criminal cases upon requests from foreign states.

For instance, the last year, there was one extradition case on the request sent by the United States. So this treaty has specific legal procedures. We can offer the appropriate commission headed by special attorney Mueller.

He can use this treaty as a solid foundation and send a formal and official request to us so that we would interrogate, we would hold the questioning of these individuals who he believes are privy to some crimes and our enforcement are perfectly able to do this questioning and send the appropriate materials to the United States.

Moreover, we can meet you halfway. We can make another step. We can actually permit official representatives of the United States, including the members of this very commission headed by Mr. Mueller, we can lead them into the country and they will be present for this questioning.

But in this case, there's another condition. This kind of effort should be a mutual one. Then we would expect that the Americans would reciprocate and that they would question officials including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the United States, whom we believe have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia. And we have to request the presence of our law enforcement.

For instance, we can bring up Mr. Browder in this particular case. Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over one and a half billion dollars in Russia. They never paid any taxes, neither in Russian army in the United States and yet the money escaped the country, they were transferred to the United States.

They sent huge amount of money - 400 million - as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton.

Well, that's their personal case, it might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal.

So we have a solid reason to believe that some intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest of questioning them. That can be a first step and we can also extend it. Options abound.

Putin offered to allow Mueller to come to Russia to question the 12 indicted Russians, he also called out Hillary for taking $400 million from Bill Browder's Russian group, it was illegal and no taxes were paid -  Say what !

Putin also threw George Soros under the bus but watch the  Democrats freak the hell out.. if it's possible for them to freak out any more than they are allready.   As the VP said in a tweet:

The Vice President (@MikePenceVP) tweeted at 2:28 PM on Mon, Jul 16, 2018:
Mass suicide is happening in the  Democratic circles because Trump met Putin,.  They are jumping bridges everywhere.
drivers be aware, do not try to block them,  they have the "right to make choices over their own bodys!"

Mike Pence is obviously compromised too. Who's George Soros and why does he matter? Do you really believe your fake news facebook posts that claim he is responsible for everything bad that ever happened? Didn't you learn from the Roseanne fiasco? lol
