tRump Proves His Illegitimacy By Admitting Russia Helped Get Him Elected



Trump admitted for the first time that the Russias helped him get elected in 2016, but he claims that there was no crime.
Trump admits that Russia interfered to help him win

Trump tweeted:

Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax...And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didn’t exist. So now the Dems and their partner, the Fake News Media,.....

....say he fought back against this phony crime that didn’t exist, this horrendous false accusation, and he shouldn’t fight back, he should just sit back and take it. Could this be Obstruction? No, Mueller didn’t find Obstruction either. Presidential Harassment!


Trump’s admission means that he is an illegitimate president

Never in American history has a foreign government interfered in a presidential election to help elect their preferred candidate. Trump is admitting that his election was the will of Putin, not the will of the people. - PoliticusUSA

presidential harassment is haranguing a duly elected by a huge majority president for years, alleging that he was foreign born and thus illegitimate, and making him show his "papers."

That's presidential harassment.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-16/flynn-influencer-voicemail-to-be-disclosed-by-may-31-judge-says

A U.S. judge ordered prosecutors to make public a transcript of a voicemail from someone trying dissuade former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn from fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Handed over to Mueller’s team during the probe, the message was one of several in which Flynn or his lawyers were contacted by people linked to the Trump administration and Congress, according to court papers made public Thursday.

On Thursday, Sullivan ordered transcripts of the phone message and of Flynn’s conversations with Russian officials to be posted on the court’s publicly-available electronic docket by May 31. He also ordered that unredacted portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn be handed over to him.

Also, Russia (ie, Putin, Prigozhin, etc) have hardly “disappeared”, MORON

Also, tomorrow we should get some previously unknown info from your beloved Moscow Mike Flynn, MORON, and I hope it throws you into yet another massive tailspin!!

This judge impresses me and seems to understand the traitorous nature of what Flynn has been prosecuted for and demonstrates how rotten and corrupt the Trumpistas and the complicit GOP congress critters are. They have sold out the country to the Russians and Putin's desire to destroy our democracy and world status. It's working and will continue to work until Trump/Pence etc. are deposed.

in my wildest dreams I hoped for a long, slow, painful twisting in the wind for fuckface and his crime family syndicate.

Dreams can come true, yes?
