George W. Bush: There's clear evidence Russia 'meddled' in 2016 election
Politico ^ | February 8, 2018 | Louis Nelson

Posted on 02/08/2018 6:35:03 AM PST by C19fan

Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that there is "pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled" in the 2016 presidential election, a seeming rebuke of President Donald Trump, who has at times questioned the intelligence community’s assessment that the Kremlin is to blame.

"Whether (Russia) affected the outcome is another question," Bush said at conference in Abu Dhabi, according to a USA Today report. "It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results.”

Not a peep from this NWO perv the whole time Hussein was in office.


Not to mention his life-time open-border efforts.

I don’t think W ever gave up the liquor. He’s as sick and demented as his evil father. He’s a tool. What a piece of s**t. That whole family needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth. They are a sick scourge on this nation.

It’s true. It is indisputable that the Russians meddled in the 2016 election.

The Hillary Clinton campaign paid a foreign agent (Steele) to get fake dirt about Trump from Russian agents under the control of Putin to use to try and steal the election.

Of course Russia interfered in our elections......just like we do in theirs. I don’t know why they keep hammering this like it’s something new. Of course Hillary and her snowflakes are just hoping this excuses her great loss....but outside that it’s just ‘wind’!......

Yep, if it weren't for those accursed Russians, Jeb would have cruised to the nomination.

And been crushed in the electoral college.

1) Russia 'meddling' in the election is not illegal.
2) Russia 'meddling' in the election in favor of Trump is not illegal.
3) Evidence of Russia 'meddling' in the election does not equate to evidence of Trump wrongdoing.

There were no Russians involved with the Steele Dossier. Steele didn’t even write it. All dossier allegations came from Simpson and wife.

And soetoro and shrillary "meddled" in the Russian, Israeli, Egyptian, Ukrainian, Tunisian...elections to a far greater extent than a few fakebook postings.

What the hell did they catch W Bush doing? (I mean something more embarrassing than getting a generation of soldiers killed over nothing)

He knows this because his buddy Bill Clinton told him so.
What a fool!

Funny, in a tragic way. The left absolutely hated W, but now they will embrace what he said. If Charles Manson could have helped them win seats and gain/maintain power, they would have made him DNC chairman (no, I'm not equating W with Manson).

The core questions for all of these people are:

1. Is this the first time you think the Russians have tried to meddle in US elections, or is this a recurrent occurrence?

2. Do we or have we tried to interfere in the elections of any other nations?

3. Hasn't Obama inserted himself into multiple non-US elections, such as his support of specific candidates in Kenya, and his involvement in the Israeli elections involving Netanyahu, as just two examples?

4. What, exactly do you think the Russians did to affect the US election, and do you think they actually prevented Hillary from becoming POTUS? If so, how?

5. Are you concerned with all the corruption linked with the Clintons, and why is that not a bigger issue?
