Sen. Ed Markey Says President Trump Chose Himself Over U.S. by Siding with Putin
Sen. Ed Markey Trump Not with U.S. ... He's with Putin!!!
President Trump threw the U.S. under the bus by publicly taking Vladimir Putin's word that Russia didn't meddle in the 2016 election ... so says Massachusetts' U.S. senator.
We got Sen. Ed Markey Monday in D.C. and he said Trump's display in Helsinki makes it clear he's only looking out for himself in dealing with Putin. He defied U.S. intelligence info, and said he didn't see any reason why Russia would have meddled in our elections.
Here's the video. Trump, asked whether he believes in his own U.S. Intelligence Community or Putin on Russian hacking, Trump responds: "I don't see any reason why it would be [Russia.]" (via ABC) pic.twitter.com/sKLSeVaqlS

Markey says Monday's summit should have been confrontational, but instead turned into an embarrassing display of virtual ass-kissing.
As for why it went down that way -- the Senator didn't dismiss the conspiracy theory about Russia having dirt on 45.
