President Donald Trump appeared to equate US actions with the authoritarian regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview released Saturday, saying, "There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?"
Trump made the remark during an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, saying he respected his Russian counterpart.
"But he's a killer," O'Reilly said to Trump.

Well, we did have an Obama administration for 8 long years.
BO is an over-paid fool. Being so gets him big bonuses, I would guess. FOX news only has a few respectable folks left.
we assassinated khadaffi...which is against international law...
O’Reilly misses the point. It’s not that Putin is a monster. He is. So are, at some level, most leaders of the world’s countries. The point is that he is the leader of Russia and we have to deal with him in that capacity.
MSM can’t take the truth.
Where were you, CNN, when Obama was going around the world apologizing and telling the world how BAD the USA is??????
Careful, this might open up questions about what kind of killing have American officials done in recent years.
Do the never Trumpers or the left really want to have that kind of discussion?
Trump would like to open a line of dialogue with Putin in person. He thinks it would be good for the U.S. to at least be able to communicate with Russia reasonably despite our differences.
For this reason he does not want to trash talk Putin before meeting him.
This does not mean he is his lap dog. It simply means Trump does not want to taint the atmosphere before they meet. That is an intelligent plan.
The MSM and even some misguided FReepers are dead set at trashing Trump until he goes for Putin’s throat.
They want to goad him into attacking Putin.
A new Cold War hangs in the balance and Trump knows it.
He is doing the exact right thing.
We all know the threat Putin represents. It’s still better to have an open line of communication between these two men.
Reagan accomplished a lot with Gorbachev,
Let’s see what Trump can do with Putin.
MSM, some Freepers, chill out
The Lying Leftist Media. They are presumed to be lying and we should assume that what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Was he talking about CIA operations?
Correct, all points.
CNN’s next interview is with Vince Foster...oh wait
October 20, 2011, CBS News:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter moments after hearing deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed.
“We came, we saw, he died,” she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi’s death by an aide in between formal interviews. . .

What in the hell do these damned people want Trump to say or do about Putin? Yes, Putin’s a thug, but so is the ruling cabal in China. He’s the guy we have no choice but to deal with.
I notice the “media” never bothered to ask these types of questions of Obama as pertains to the muslim brotherhood’s Morsi.
Thanks Navy Patriot...
O’Reilly acted stupidly.
meanwhile left wing media applauded obama’s deal with the terrorist state of iran as well as clinton’s deal with the terrorist yassir arafat...
so many ways to call out the hypocrisy of the lib media and demoKrats on this....
Yep, and 25 years after it became unnecessary.
