Putin Claims Trump Seemed Satisfied With His Answers on Election Interference

Source: Mediaite




by Josh Feldman | 10:57 am, July 8th, 2017

Vladimir Putin spoke to reporters at the G20 summit today and, naturally, he talked about his over-two-hour-long meeting with President Trump.

Both sides acknowledge that election interference was brought up during the meeting (Rex Tillerson said Trump “opened” with that), but Sergey Lavrov claims Trump accepted Putin’s denials.

One reporter asked Putin today if Trump agreed with his position that Russia did not intervene in the U.S. election. “He answered all the questions,” Putin said (per translator), “and I think that he noted it and he agreed with it. But I think it’s better to ask him exactly what you have asked, rather than me.”

Minutes later, another reporter circled back to this issue and Putin’s claim that Trump accepted his answer. Putin said, “He asked me questions, I told him in detail, and I think he was satisfied by my answers.”

Trump seems to think that if he asks Putin point blank about the election inference

a) Putin will honestly admit to it

and

b) we will accept that is not only a brilliant tactical move but excellent diplomancy.


Most of the rest of the meeting was also scripted by Putin and Trump to convince us that Putin is an honest statesman willing to work with US on many issues. This image was furthered by the extended meeting which was to promote the idea that Putin and Trump have lots of topics that they can agree on .

Indeed, it was all just a liberal media hoax. And Putin confirms it. Cancel all Congressional and DOJ investigations immediately, except for any that might looking into how popular vote loser Hillary scammed millions of fraudulent votes.
