Tweets this AM confirm the POTUS is a Russian asset???

I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I've already given my opinion....




...We negotiated a ceasefire in parts of Syria which will save lives. Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!



Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..



...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....



...have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?

So we form this "cyber Security" unit and we share data on how our security system works with the Russians..

so they can HELP US SECURE OUR SYSTEM FROM THEM????????

we give them our information, they give us trash in return and the next election won't even be close.

"Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded.. "

He doesn't want to protect the positive things - he specifically said GUARDING election hacking "& many other negative things."

So, yeah, he would hand over the keys to every election system in this country to Russia.

He means it will be under control of the combined Trump-Putin cybersecurity unit, and any damn 3rd party countries, anarchists or American law enforcement organizations cannot stop the Trump-Putin hacking.

Rumor has long held that the CIA was involved in the JFK assassination due to the Bay of Pigs fiasco. The thinking was that the spooks were pissed at being hung out to dry by POTUS...I have no idea how much or how little truth there is to that theory...BUT: Past is prologue.

40. If Trump Wants To Move Past Russian Cyber Warfare
Sun Jul 9, 2017, 11:31 AM
Jul 2017

Why can't he let it go? Oh, he wants the exclusive stage.

There are 17 agencies that reviewed the intelligence and all 17 concluded that the source of the cyber warfare (hacking) was Russia. Many of those don't have an operational intelligence capability so they base their conclusions on the intelligence they receive from those agencies with operational intelligence capability. It is nothing but a divergence to quibble over the proper number to use when it is the conclusion of those 17 agencies that matters and they all say it was Russia. Trump says Putin told him it was not Russia and he takes Putin's word over that of his own intelligence agencies. Houston, we have a problem.
