MSNBC's Heilemann on Trump 'Russian Agent' Denial: Maybe Lying Like Clinton, Nixon
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Damned if you do . . .

When Jeannine Pirro of Fox News asked President Trump this past Saturday if he had ever worked for Russia, Trump responded by saying her question was "the most insulting thing I’ve ever been asked."

The liberal media proceeded to accuse Trump of having "dodged" or "evaded" the question. Yesterday, Trump addressed the issue in unequivocal terms, flatly stating, "I never worked for Russia."

So naturally, now the MSM is ripping him for that, too. Take MSNBC analyst John Heilemann on today's Morning Joe:

"The fact that he said yesterday, I've never worked for Russia, just made you think of [unintelligble] our two previous Presidents embroiled in potential impeachments: Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon saying, Bill Clinton: I never had sexual relations with that woman. And Richard Nixon: I am not a crook. Turned out they were lying. Maybe Donald Trump is, too."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

When Pres. Trump didn’t flatly deny working for the Russians, the MSM ripped him for ‘dodging’ the question. Now that he has flatly denied it, they still find a way to rip him.

Damned-if-you do ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I remember a line from a movie where a lawyer smirked about an accusation: “I know it is not true, I just want to see him deny it.”

Someone must have seen the same movie.

That was a standard tactic of that murderous slime LBJ.

Donald Trump works for nobody. Except We The People.

The whole thing is just ridiculous....and these people get paid to come up with this crap. I don’t watch them and don’t care what they say...I think they should be totally ignored...which is why I’ve gotten tired of Newsbusters...they spread the crazy words.

Do they realize how transparent they are?

The truth is staring them in the face, yet here they are doing their darnedest to keep this farce going.

And what did Nixon lie about?

He wasn’t a crook.

Isn’t it sad that the #MeToo feeding frenzy removed all the men with testosterone from MSNBC?

Except for Mr Madcow, of course.

What would be Trumps motivation to work as a Russian agent?
So maybe he could build a tower in Russia?
He puts up with all this BS for the sake of Russia?
These people are truly retarded. (apologies to the developmentally disabled)

Maybe Trump will send 150 billion dollars to Russia like Obama did to Iran?

Why would Jeanine Pirro ask that stupid question? Hannity’s had it as part of his intros and I assumed it was a CNN reporter.

Do not worry comrades. Trump will have more flexibility after the election.
