Conway: Trump-Russia Collusion 'Goalposts Have Been Moved'

White House aide Kellyanne Conway accused critics of the Trump administration of moving the goalposts on the ongoing investigations into possible coordination between members of the Trump campaign and Russian nationals.

“The goalposts have been moved,” Conway told “Fox & Friends” Friday morning. “We were promised systemic — hard evidence of systemic, sustained, furtive collusion that not only interfered with our election process but indeed dictated the electoral outcome. And one of the only people who says that seriously these days is still Hillary Clinton and nobody believes it.”

However, authorities investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election have long asserted that there is no evidence votes were physically changed as part of the effort.

Conway’s analysis came in response to coverage of Donald Trump Jr., who admitted to meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016 after being promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help his father’s campaign. Campaign manager Paul Manafort and top aide Jared Kushner were also in attendance.

1. I guess Conway forgot

She forgot the multiple investigations have really only just started.

2. Conway: "Yes, we tried to rig the election. But we didn't succeed, so it doesn't matter" nt

5. Squeaky Fromme: the gun "didn't go off!"

7. There were no cookies in the cookie jar.

8. The cash register turned out to be empty after I forced the clerk

to open it at gunpoint.

11. Good one!

And that's just the claim. For all we know, team Trump made off like bandits. Right now we just have their word that the meeting turned out to be meaningless, and they're not the least bit trustworthy.

3. Liberals are trying to make a big deal over the fact that the Trump campaign was working with ...

... Russian military intelligence. You can see how desperate they are.

4. she is irrelevant...the snowball is rolling down hill

6. She Must Not Watch The News

First, Hillary is not the only person talking about it. In fact, i think she's barely mentioned it. However, MILLIONS are talking about it.

So, she's off by about 7 orders of magnitude. Not that she would know what that means.

[Tanuki]

9. No worries...she was speaking on Fox and Friends, and no one in that

audience watches the news either, so she can lie with impunity and without fear of contradiction.

12. I Stand Corrected

And, of course, she was on Faux.

10. This Is Good News...

When they dig her out from under her rock, you know the WH is shitting its pants. That seems to have been the pattern lately. This is twice in one week ol' KAC has oozed onto teevee screens. You know things are really dicey in DumpLand.

[Mr. Ected]

13. As if what is reported in the media is the extent of the evidence against Trumpco

She knows this too. This is nothing but red meat substitute for Trump fanbois.

The fact of the matter is, Robert Mueller (and the House and Senate) are sitting on piles of classified information that damns the Trumps to hell. When the shit hits the fan, all this media spin and playing to the base will be as meaningful as the lies they're spinning.

14. What is hysterical about this statement is that SHE is the one trying to move the goal posts.
