Donald Trump defends Vladimir Putin over Alexander Litvinenko murder

The Telegraph ^ | January 26, 2016 | Nick Allen

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Donald Trump has defended Vladimir Putin after a British public inquiry found the Russian president "probably" sanctioned the assassination of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London.

Mr Trump waded into the case saying he had seen "no evidence" of Mr Putin's involvement, adding: "They say a lot of things about me that are untrue too."

The front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination has previously said he felt a "great honour" when Mr Putin praised him as an "absolute leader". ..

But Mr Trump told Fox Business: "Have they found him (Mr Putin) guilty? I don't think they've found him guilty. If he did it, fine but I don't know that he did it.

"You know, people are saying they think it was him, it might have been him, it could have been him. But in all fairness to Putin - and I'm not saying this because he says 'Trump is brilliant and leading everybody' - the fact is that he hasn't been convicted of anything. Some people say he absolutely didn't do it.

"First of all, he says he didn't do it. Many people say it wasn't him. So who knows who did it?" ...

In the most personal attack yet on his main rival Mr Trump called Mr Cruz a "nasty guy" and a "jerk".

He said: "We can't have a guy who stands in the middle of the Senate floor and every other senator thinks he's a whack job." ..

The murder of internationally renowned Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya in early October 2006 was yet another troubling sign of Russia's retreat into its totalitarian past. Today Frontpage Symposium has gathered a distinguished panel of experts to discuss why Anna Politkovskaya was killed and what the tragic loss of her life symbolizes about the direction in which Vladimir Putin's Russia is heading.

What statement do you refer? “Where is the evidence?” is that the one? Maybe I missed it?

[GodGunsGuts]

Just what we need, another president who embraces our enemies, and turns his back on our friends.

[Trumpinator]

Trump is right. If you can’t prove it it’s Bull.

[wardaddy]

Lol

Who do u support now since Paul Bunyan went hime

[Las Vegas Ron]

Your copy paste routine does nothing to sway others to your side.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It appears, you’ve missed a lot.

[jwalsh07]

LOL. Putin is a KGB murdering thug who loves Stalin. Wake up WENDLE! LOL again.

[Trumpinator]

It shows the anti-Trump types want to live in a fairy tale world based on no evidence. Trump builds things - his think works on what can be supported by the numbers not what he wishes it was but how it is.

Though I'm still rooting for DT, yes, the Ezekiel 38 war just keeps forming. And now that Bammy has given the Iranians $150 BILLION DOLLARS, it is well on its way.

"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.

In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.

The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

Putin has denounced Stalin and Lenin.

[WENDLE]

Wow, are you uninformed. Good luck here.

[windsorknot]

Vlad Putin is, and will always be, a KGB thug.

[McGruff]

“the Russian president “probably” sanctioned the assassination”

That will hold up in a court of law. Yeah, right.

[ETL]

Your degree of stupidity is astronomical.

Russia is fighting ISIS so how is she our 'enemy'?

[yellowdoghunter]

And yet, Donald denied that is what he was doing and people believed him and not their own eyes!! Or will say its okay cuz he is a member of the member...but at least admit that is what he did. If Obama did that, FR would b all over him.
Can u just imagine what Trump would have said about Sarah if she had endorsed Cruz??

[Trumpinator]

Vlad Putin is, and will always be, a KGB thug.

Tupac Shakur is a thug. Putin is a well trained spy. There is a difference. See James Bond movies :)

[SaveFerris]

Like Pharaoh, it appears Obama has been raised up and put into power, on the wrong side (let me be clear), bringing the prophecies to come to pass.

sigh

The damage he has done ... is not done, yet........
