New White House communications director: Trump is still not sure Russia interfered in the election

FULL TITLE: New White House communications director: Trump is still not sure Russia interfered in the election

Trump's new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, said that the president is still not sure Russia meddled in the 2016 election.

Trump's own national security officials, however, recently reaffirmed that Russia was behind the hacking campaign.

Scaramucci characterized Trump Jr.'s meeting with Russians last year as a "non-event" and said Trump still has not decided whether to sign a new Russia sanctions bill into law.

President Donald Trump's new White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, told CNN on Sunday that Trump is still not convinced that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

"He called me from Air Force One and he basically said to me, 'Hey, you know, maybe they did do it, maybe they didn't do it,'" Scaramucci, who started his new position on Friday, told host Jake Tapper.

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer also never provided a definitive answer when asked whether Trump believed Russia interfered in the election, telling reporters last month that he had not "sat down" with Trump and asked him about it.

Lack of evidence will tend to do that.

I’ve never been sure. It could have been Seth Rich and then the intelligence agencies and DNC decided to blame the Russians and hoped to embroil Trump in it all.

I don’t trust anyone who was involved with Obama or Clinton - Clapper, Brennan, Comey. They lied without shame or remorse.

What a mass of confusion.

Wait until the Lying Left has moved on. Trump needs to not let these idiots distract him from his mission - the whole reason for all of this.

When they finally move on, then conduct a quiet, thorough investigation away from the incendiary hoopla and bullhorns of the Lying Leftist media. Almost certainly, as with the multiple crimes and misdeeds of Obama and Hillary, if there was Russian interference in the election, almost certainly he’ll find it happened through the LYING LEFT.

In the meantime, what about the multiple crimes and misdeeds of Obama and Hillary from which all of this b/s is meant to deflect? I hope these DNC operatives get nailed.

Trump is actually getting a lot done, and the Russia distraction has helped.

Mexico interfered in our election more than any other country.

Let’s talk about that.

The real reason for RussiaRussiaRussia is to keep people from asking,

“Who killed Seth Rich for leaking the DNC e-mails?”

First, they did not “interfere” in the election. When you look at the things claimed this is an attempt to censor news the left doesn’t like. For example the “Russian fake news” included Clinton Foundation corruption. Fake???

Good. Keep up the good work Trump and God bless him.

But as someone else said, “The real reason for RussiaRussiaRussia is to keep people from asking, ‘Who killed Seth Rich for leaking the DNC e-mails?’”

This Russia thing is total b/s except for whatever distractroorm the Left’s own mountain-range of crimes and misdeeds.

How can we know whether Russian was involved since the DNC won’t even allow any investigators access to the very server that they claimed was hacked?

Without allowing access to their DNC server, I would think there is zero evidence of the Russians helping Trump, and clearly the DNC is hiding something. (Duh!)

The Left is never going to move on from this.

My granddaughters will be taught that Triump and Russia stole this election from the kind, gentle, intelligent, experienced and statesmanlike Hillary

Trump knows that Russia had nothing to do with our elections. Hillary/Obama and the media know it too. The Intel community knows it too.

The only people who actually believe this crap are stupid liberals who buy whatever the leftists who are slowly being phased out of power are telling them.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic For months now the `rats and their MSM have been playing, "Let's all pretend the Russia meme really is something, that it isn't just terminal butthurt." How much longer does this nonsense continue?

Seth Rich was a disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporter.

On his radio show in late spring, Sean Hannity aired the audio of a TV interview Julian Assange gave to Dutch television in August of 2016.

Assange said the source of the Podesta e-mails was a 27-year-old guy who worked for the democrats. Sure sounds like he was alluding to Seth Rich.

I would contend that pappy Francis of Roman Walls interfered the most. .ell, he has a bunch working directly for him to destroy US. The past three Speakers of OUR House work for him... what do we expect? None of them would end the taxpayer funding of ‘planned parenthood’. And more than that ‘we the people’ now by law, are one of the biggest contributors to their charities.

Why do you think Hillry selected the whited privileged Kaine to be her Veep?
