Oh, so now all of a sudden "evidence" is important when making an accusation?

Who knew?

Next time he’ll have to claim unnamed sources.

Un- freaking - real.

especially since there IS evidence.

(remembering that President Trump usually only throws fresh bait out there when he has the evidence to back it up - but just waits for them to bite the hook) -

It would be Trumpian to drive the establishment media insane about the prerequisite for evidence, and then insist that they apply their newly-discovered standard on themselves.

“without giving sources”

His sources are thus “unnamed” and “anonymous”. He’s now qualified to be a journalist!

Evidence? Reuters wants evidence. Yet, Reuters makes claims of Trump collusion and investigates for more than a year and never finds any evidence. So, only the conservative opposition must have evidence. The left’s collusion claims must be accepted without evidence and investigations begun to find it. Total hypocrisy.

Under the Obama Administration 20% of America's uranium resources was sold to Russia at personal profit. Is that enough evidence, Reuters?

He didn't give evidence in the tweet, the evidence was reported by the press and Congress. Obama did not inform the public that Russia was interfering, assuming for the sake of argyument at Obama's claim is true in the first place. By keeping his mouth shut, Obama was enabling the Russian meddling to continue unabated.

The report in the OP, that Trump didn't give evidence, is blatantly and obviously false. The evidence was widely reported. Adam Schiff said "I think the Obama administration should have done a lot more when it became clear that not only was Russia intervening, but it was being directed at the highest levels of the Kremlin"

Cohen may be married to prog left icon, Katrina vanden Heuvel of The Nation, but he makes sense when it comes to Trump & the Russia FakeNews:

‘The Young Turks’ politics reporter Michael Tracey interviews NYU & Princeton professor of Russian studies, Stephen F. Cohen, to discuss the political establishment’s response to accusations that President Trump “colluded” with Russia, major intelligence leaks about Russia, and the “New Cold War.”

They’re about to hit the lure!

Trump waits for the bite, patiently readying to set the hook with a steep heave of his rod.

They just can’t help themselves. This is the stuff of saturday morning cartoons of old.

I predict President Trump will be proven correct on this, as he usually is. The fun for me is watching the ‘rats get screwed by POTUS the same way over and over again without learning from their previous errors.
