Putin gives new election-hacking theory during Megyn Kelly’s NBC debut
NY POST ^ | June 4, 2017 | By Mark Moore and Marisa Schultz

In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Vladimir Putin again denied meddling in the 2016 presidential election and peddled the conspiracy theory it was really the work of the US intelligence community.

“There’s a theory that Kennedy’s assassination was arranged by the United States Intelligence services,” Putin said. “So if this theory is correct and that can’t be ruled out, then what could be easier, in this day and age, than using all the technical means at the disposal of the intelligence services, and using those means to organize some attacks, and then pointing the finger at Russia.” SEE ALSO Putin on Flynn: 'I didn't even really talk to him' Putin on Flynn: ‘I didn’t even really talk to him’

In further denying Russia’s role in the 2016 election, Putin said he “doesn’t care” who the president is.

“Presidents come and go, and even the parties in power change, but the main political direction does not change… That’s why, in the grand scheme of things, we don’t care who’s the head of the United States,” Putin said. “We know more or less what is going to happen.”

Kelly pressed Putin on whether he has any dossier or embarrassing dirt on President Trump that could be used to blackmail the commander-in-chief.

“This is just another load of nonsense,” Putin said. “Where would we get this information from? Why, did we have some special relationship with him? We didn’t have any relationship at all. There was a time when he used to come to Moscow. But you know, I never met with him. We have a lot of Americans who visit us.”

WHAT election hacking?

The votes were stuffed.

Fakebook and twitter postings by “bots” didn’t sway the election.

20+ years of Clinton crony corruption and media collusion with the Clinton campaign tanked their chances.

Why am I not surprised that she would dress like an in-heat slattern for an interview with a foreign Head of State. The very one who breathlessly accused President Trump of referring to some women as "pigs."

Strong, the irony is, in this one...

It’s time to come clean... can’t keep this secret forever.

I admit it, I and 61,999,999 other American Citizens were arm-twisted personally by Putin to vote for Trump.

There, got that off my chest...

“There’s a theory that Kennedy’s assassination was arranged by the United States Intelligence services,” Putin said. “So if this theory is correct and that can’t be ruled out...”

Is that an implied threat to the intelligence services, that if they keep on blaming Russia, he can release some info of his own about them?

Didn’t Stein state that people were going around with floppy disks to the polling places? Megyn came across just stupid and the interview was obviously over her head.

Dam I missed it. Did anybody watch? any ratings? The picture you posed looks kind of slutty. Near her end at fox she was into the Glam slut look. Nobody is going to take her seriously if she dresses this way.
