Trump says he misspoke on Russian meddling during press conference, accepts US intel findings
Fox News ^ | July 17, 2018

Posted on 07/17/2018 12:11:11 PM PDT by SMGFan

President Trump said Tuesday that he misspoke when he said he doesn’t see why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 presidential election, clarifying that he accepts the U.S. intelligence community’s findings of election interference.

At the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible.

In Helsinki, speaking at a press conference next to Vladimir Putin a day earlier, Trump had said he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be behind election meddling.

“So, I just wanted to clear up. I have the strongest respect for our intelligence agencies headed by my people. We have great people whether it’s Gina [Haspel] or Dan Coats or any of ‘em. I mean, we have tremendous people, tremendous talent within the agencies. I think they’re being guided properly and we all want the same thing: we all want success for our country.”

I don’t trust any of 0bama’s intelligence people either, 4 or 5 of them have lied in front of Congress and covered up for Hillary, they are as trustworthy as Putin.

I trust gas station sushi more than these guys

He just doesn’t trust WHO WAS RUNNING IT at the time, because they are now proven to be lying liars trying to frame him.

And the current spy chiefs are echoing the false narrative since there still is not a lick of evidence...

Trump was right when he implied he didn't trust the spy agencies; he just responded too quickly from the question without being able to give it any thought...

Not a good response but he is the President. Could have stated while accepting the report do not agree with report.

FOX FAKE NEWS HEADLINE

I listened to the whole thing and never heard him say that he “misspoke”.

He said he wanted to clear up…that he had great confidence in his intelligence community headed by his people!

Yikes not good. He is the POTUS meeting the President of Russia, and can’t keep his speaking points together?

Embarrassing.

I wouldn’t doubt it about Dana. BTW, her book about her dog was on the remainder table at B&N about two weeks after it was released; I was happy for her. It was no Marley & Me, lol!

I listened to the presser that Pres Trump gave and was amused at his tone of voice. He sounded rather sheepish, like he had not dumbed down his speech for the slow witted to the point where they could understand what he was saying. He sure was not contrite for having set off the media and uniparty persons who were just looking for something, anything, to start a new round of faux concern for this country they are working to destroy. I do love Pres Trump. He is fun.

Putin is less an enemy of America than are the likes of Comey, Rosenstein, the Clintons, the Obamas, McCain, McConnell, Ryan, Pelosi, Schumer, indeed the whole Deep State and uniparty apparatus. I don't know exactly what Trump said, but I hope he didn't backtrack on what he said in Helsinki.

He said it sounded like he said ‘I don’t see any reason why it would be Russia.’ and he meant it to be ‘I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia.’

Reading some of the comments out there .. makes me sad and sick... they are showing respect to the leaders who have lied to us every day and in those lies, tried to take out our President... but the comments are against Trump standing next to Putin and his siding with putin. I’m telling you, after yesteday, I SIDE WITH PUTIN!!! and I’m a senior who loves our country!

I am so against the deep state.. there are no words .. I want them rounded up in the middle of the night and handcuffed on their way!

Why do we let the media get away with just screaming Russia Russia Russia? Why can we not force them to explain exactly what russia did and how it beat clintons record war chest?

Fox is becoming unwatchable, save Carlson and Hannity. Oh well, less time in front of the tv.

The whole topic is so over exposed and boring.
No one cares and no one talks about it but Never Trumpers , Dem left nuts , and the Left wing media
which includes most of Fox with Cavuto and Sheppy .

Scott Adams says that it's "the Rosie O'Donnell" play.

That's where the Media Death Star was "gonna get" Trump for misogyny, and he changed the subject to fat Rosie O'Donnell.

He changed the subject to an argument between "would" and "wouldn't", and now they're arguing about that, instead*.   winking face

*And Trump is STILL their President
