Trump now accepts that Russia meddled in the election.

... but somehow Putin didn't know about it.

While President Donald Trump says he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is sincere when he denies that Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election, the president said he personally believes the conclusion of the U.S. intelligence community -– and not Putin -– that Russia did in fact meddle in the election.

(Reminds me of the argument that Hitler didn't know about the Holocaust.)

As Rachel says, "don't listen to what they say, watch what they do." What is Trump doing to prevent Russia from continuing to meddle in our elections?

Anybody?

1. And I firmly believe dotard didn't know either

4. trump knows better but he's so dumb he expects us to believe his lie...

that Putin didn't know.

God, I wonder what Putin has over him.

It must be a doozy.

8. Exactly

What does vlad have on him that the pos tosses America under the bus.

5. Trump certainly did know

and knowingly accepted Russian money and help. But it probably never crossed his mind that it was illegal and treason. Trump thinks that laws don't apply to him. He can ignore inconvenient laws. Just sweep them away with the wave of his little hand.

7. And getting elected just confirmed him in this view. NT

2. This is all in Criminal 101 Chapter 3: Gaslighting about your Crimes

3. But 'his people' were not in charge of the report when it came out last year....

what a gas bag.


............. “I'm with our agencies, especially as currently constituted with their current leadership,” Trump said. “I believe in our intel agencies, our intelligence agencies ... as currently led by fine people, I believe very much in our intelligence agencies.”

The president’s statement, with the caveat that he trusts the intelligence as currently led, is one of his clearest comments to date on accepting the consensus conclusions reached by the U.S. intelligence agencies in a report published earlier this year on Russia's attempts to influence the U.S. election.

9. Well there was that rumor

about the CIA and JFK. Better not test that.

When I read trumps quotes it's like Alex Baldwins voice in my head.

6. So I guess the next question to Trump is "What are you going to do about it?"
