White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said Sunday that President Trump "absolutely" did not accept Russian President Vladimir Putin's denial that Moscow's did not meddle in last year's presidential election, despite the Kremlin's assertions that Trump was convinced.

"No that is not true. The president absolutely did not believe the denial of President Putin," Priebus told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

The White House official stressed that Trump "immediately" addressed the allegations that Russia interfered. Priebus said Trump pushed the issue for a significant portion of their meeting, bringing up the topic more than once.

&quot He) went after that issue at least two separate times. This was not just a five-minute piece of the conversation, this was an extensive portion of the meeting. And after going after it with President Putin more than once -- two times maybe even three times -- the president at that point, after spending a large portion of the meeting on the subject, moved on to other topics," Priebus told Wallace.

7. Hey, Shit for brains, you know why your fucking traitor

had only two people on each treasonous team in the room, just think for about 5 minutes asshole, and come back and give your deplorable's the reason why...............so that Wallace can give them shit also


Now that your five minutes are up asshole, this "meeting" of the pieces shit's should have been open for everyone to hear and see, first of all, that's strike one

Because asshole your boss has a penchant to LIE, and the "guy" sitting across from him has a penchant to murder journalists and anyone else that gets in his way and he also lies, that's strike two

When when you act like a piece of treasonous shit, and it smells like a treasonous piece of shit, guess what your still a fucking treasonous piece of shit, no matter how you try to dress a pig and put lip stick on it, that's strike three.

If I was in that room, I would have told Putin to go fuck himself and would have gotten up and walked out, with base on balls


So in closing hair rinse-----------------FUCK YOU

11. Where is the proof that Trump said or did anything meaningful?

When Priebus is used to make claims of what Trump believes or what Trump did or did not say in a private meeting, his statements are meaningless-and can easily be denied by Trump.

Possibilities: He brought it up as a formality and intends to do nothing about it.
He did not bring it up

So long as Trump does nothing about the interference Priebus commentary isa waste of time at best and an attempt to cover up for lack of action in investigating and sanctioning.

12. Of course not! Wink. Wink.

13. Vlad: "We have the 'pissing' video."

Dumb Ass: "Okay. Right. No collusion."

[KPN]

14. This kind of statement just goes to show that ...

these fucking people know exactly what Trump is doing and exactly what destructive impact his administration is having on our democracy -- but they really don't give a shit. They are in it for themselves and for their hatred for anything that threatens their straight white male domination over all others. They want to appear like they are good guys while undermining our nation. They are fucking traitors. And they ought to bed dealt with as such.

15. Trump hasn't the guts to stand up to his Puttie. n/t
