Sally Yates: Trump is 'shamelessly unpatriotic' for Russian election meddling comments

Source: The Hill




BY BRANDON CARTER - 11/11/17 01:00 PM EST

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates blasted President Trump on Saturday, calling him “shamelessly unpatriotic” for “embrac[ing]” Russian President Vlaidmir Putin’s denial that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.




Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One Saturday that he wouldn’t “argue” with Putin over Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

It's very clear that Dump doesn't care about our country, our soldiers, or our citizens. He cares only about himself. If only Republicans could see that.

give our intelligence the respect OR the fear they deserve.

I hope none of our DU'ers are ever close to these stupid people on the day of reckoning.

Careful, my buddies.

He thinks he can constantly attack our intelligence agencies and they won't get pissed off at him. He is being investigated and should try to make friends and not enemies with them.

By that I mean he'll never confront Putin about the hacking and interference, because it would be tantamount to confessing that he colluded with Putin. But by doing that he's insulting our own intelligence agents (the FBI and CIA investigators) saying he believes Putin rather than them.

Sooner or later it comes down to everyone else's word against Trump and Putin, two known liars and manipulators. Who are we going to believe? Will we let him wiggle out of this? I hope not.

Congress voted for more sanctions that were suppose to be in place by Oct 1 and they have not been put in place yet
