Angus King: “I believe that we have leaders there that want to help us, they care.”

This so-called deal with Russia will do little for America and much for Vladimir Putin as he seeks to sustain his murderous campaign on Ukraine.

Adding insult to injury, today’s deal is a slap in the face to every member of Congress who voted for the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act just last month.

When you serve as governor, you get to know a lot of legislators, but one I particularly remember is Matt Dunlap. Why? because he was tough and smart and a strong advocate for his district.

At the end of the day, this deal from the White House is an attempt to boost their short-term political prospects at the true cost of the American people.
