President Trump broke with his national security adviser H.R. McMaster on Saturday after McMaster said that indictments in special counsel Robert Muellers investigation show incontrovertible evidence of Russia's election meddling.
"General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems. Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's comments come after McMaster, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, said with the FBI indictment, the evidence is now incontrovertible that Russia interfered in the election.
McMaster also reportedly dismissed a question about future U.S. cooperation with Russia on cybersecurity.
We would love to have a cyber dialogue when Russia is sincere about curtailing its sophisticated form of espionage, McMaster said.
Thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian groups have been charged with multiple counts of attempting to interfere in the 2016 election.
The indictment alleges the goal of the Russians was to support then-candidate Donald Trump and hurt his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Some of the Russians allegedly posed as Americans and communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities.
Trump has repeatedly denied the notion that his campaign coordinated with the Russians to influence the 2016 race and has accused Democrats of improper collusion with the FBI.
Trump has responded to the indictments on Saturday, taking to Twitter to hit the investigation and the media for covering Mueller's findings.
Funny how the Fake News Media doesnt want to say that the Russian group was formed in 2014, long before my run for President. Maybe they knew I was going to run even though I didnt know! the president tweeted earlier Saturday.
If a bunch of knuckleheads using fake names to open Facebook and Twitter accounts is a major threat to our national security, then this country is far more pathetic than I ever could have imagined.
Yes.....he needs to be FIRED when Flynn is cleared!
Trump is completely right again.
The so-called Russian Internet trolls that Mueewller and Rosenstein indicted is a joke and looks bogus where the Russian election “interference” was electron scope microscopic.
Que up the Pooty Poot Putin laughing *.gif for cue-ball McMaster.
McMaster - when Obama was putting his deal together with the mullahs of Tehran, McMaster was working for an NGO based in Europe with a primary agenda at that time of promoting that deal. He is a mole in the Trump admin. I hope Trump realizes it.
Rod Rosenstein said the other day, that 'the Russian meddling' had no discernable effect on the outcome of the election.
McMaster finally stumbles and reveals his true colors.
I have to give Bannon credit for his early butting heads with McMaster. Bannon’s problem was not his targets, it was his swelled head.
McMaster was a Petraeus protégé and Petraeus, in turn, is point man for the Senate Armed Services Committee which is driven by neocon nutjob McCain.
The writing was on the wall from the get-go.
I don’t fault the President. McMaster was the placed agent for the whole of the military contractor network. Better to let McMaster think he had the inside track when in fact it was Generals Kelly, Mattis that controlled the inside.
McMaster is a puke but let him think otherwise.
I dont think its entirely up to Trump. I believe he had to be confirmed by the Senate and they are colluding.
News Communications, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the publication and distribution of advertiser-supported newspapers and magazines in the United States. It publishes three newspapers which comprised The Hill, Dan's Papers, and Montauk Pioneer; two magazines which consisted of Dan's Hampton Style and Dan's Hampton Sports; and a guide which comprised Dan's Hampton Style Insider Guide. The company also provides The Hill Health Watch, an online subscription service covering health legislation issues. Its magazines and guide are primarily distributed to oceanfront estates, and to boutiques and restaurants. News Communications, Inc. was founded in 1986 and is based in New York City.
So, the Hill is the public arm of a company providing trade press for the health care industry.
But I would tread carefully here because "the Hill" did not put direct quotes around the parts you are finding objectionable, suggesting that an accurate quote would not have McMaster saying what the Hill suggests he is saying.
If we started prosecuting trolls who spread disinformation to create dissension. If only...
“McMaster didn’t say that they were either”
Indeed. The headline that Trump somehow “broke” from him is misleading!
Why does the media constantly do this? (I know why)
Trump is not saying anything different than McMaster said. Nobody’s breaking with anyone else here.
There’s no evidence that the 13 Facebook trolls had any impact on the election results, and Rosenstein said exactly this on Friday. What McMaster said is no different than Rosenstein or Trump.
So, did Rosenstein AND Yates sign off on the renewal FISA warrant on Page, based on the KNOWN fake dossier (which now has much a more elucidated origin in the creative writing of Cody Shearer clinton thug, and “sheepdipped” for FBI consumption by shopping it to Steele who embellished with his equally blowhard BS “integrity” non-history).
Rosenstein used the whole fake ‘russian’ crap and the “warrant” renewed in Jan. 17 (signed by Yates and also Rosenstein?). Sessions finally approved by full Senate vote Feb. 9th, but immediately “neutered” through the use of the “questioning” about the Russian ambassador (idiotic) and the political drum up for a need for a “russian collusion” investigation-— neutered into RECUSING himself, absolutely needlessly but giving the second in command to sally yates the full acting power as AG.
And then... the third amigo— Mueller, rosenstein’s pal and buddy (and comey’s too) appointed special counsel.
Priebus in there all the time helping the bushies/clintons get rid of Flynn, and then Sessions... just like that.
Time for action. Mueller is over with. Ordering him to conclude his wasteful investigation will NOT be and can not be construed as any kind of “obstruction” , though the most exposed lib dems.... like nadler would scream it, along with schiff and swallwell (a true SS man if there ever was one- what a pin head).
Mcmaster and kelly are both globalist democrats, neither support trumps positions. Their whole purpose is to moderate and undermine trumps actions. THAT is why the gop establishment and democrats like these two so much.
One thing is clear: It’s Trump against EVERYONE.
A lot of different tails are trying to wag the dog.
Instead of surrounding himself with Deplorables and Conservative/Nationalist, Trump surrounded himself with Goldman Sach-Rino-GOPe and Bushies. And then for some completly unexplainable reason allows these bastards to bitch him around.
The Hill is a leftwing rag.
It always promoted Obama.
That's total nonsense..........McMaster should be fired because he didn't embellish his comment to include that which Trump would have said?
with the FBI indictment, the evidence is now incontrovertible
With that kind of flimsy analysis, why did he ever hire him?
