Pelosi said Russia has long sought a "foothold in the Middle East" and he had just given Russian President Vladimir Putin such an opening, adding: "All roads with you lead to Putin." That's when the already-tense meeting "reached a fever pitch," the Times reports.
The Associated Press recounts the next few exchanges:
Trump: "I hate ISIS more than you do."
Pelosi: "You don't know that."
Schumer: "Is your plan to rely on the Syrians and the Turks?"
Trump: "Our plan is to keep the American people safe."
Pelosi: "That's not a plan. That's a goal."

Well! These were some dynamics!
"All roads lead to Putin"?
and,
"That's not a plan, that's a goal"?
Yeah, I see how this meeting blew-up. Particularly with the Putin comment (whether accurate or not).
I suspect Trump has a sore spot for Putin accusations.he was thinking "****, they figured it out!"

I give her credit. She's a fighter, and calls it like it is. Both are great leadership qualities.Another thought ... if this is what Pelosi is willing to say ... then I suspect these articles are going to be a hell of a lot more than about the phonecall, but something deeper.

??The three :stooges whiners who stormed out of the meeting are those who had the meltdown. They couldn't wait to run to the media and blather about the POTUS.... The rest of the people who were in the room stayed and went on with their meeting. Pelosi was being overly theatrical, business as usual with her.
I do like the "that's not a plan, that's a goal" line.

Without Pelosi & Schumer, there is no substantive meeting. Trump can't get past the House without Pelosi.

Sorry Trix, without them there's no meeting of substance. Not as long as we still have a Constitution.They should have stayed. Let me remind you again, that those three stormed out of the meeting. The meeting went on without them...
They are evidently including the Mueller stuff in the impeachment...

No it didn't, without them it was just a coffee break, not a meeting...
