President Trump said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would have preferred if Hillary Clinton won the presidential election last year.
In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson at the White House, Mr. Trump tried to debunk claims that Russia wanted to help him win the election.

This sounds correct.
Putin knew he could sandbag a Hillary Admin all day long.
The Russians pulling a "Crazy Ivan".
They want Killary to win because she will weaken America even further, so they push stories and setups that Trump is in collusion with them to damage him so that she looks better in comparison.
No question about it. She could be bought off by a donation to the Clinton Crime Foundation.
Absolutely, my thoughts also.
Natalia OnaTopp-skaya probably also works for Putin.
Seriously?
(smh)
Yeah it’s “seriously”.
The Democrats have been buddies and apologists for Russia going all the way back to the Russian Communist Revolution exactly a hundred years ago. Are we supposed to believe that with one election that relationship has gone south and now the Dems are mortal enemies with their long time leftist pals?
Putin is many things but not stupid.
He knew he could push HilLIARy around, so would have preferred her.
But he knows he can do business with Trump. Despite being separate countries there ARE common interests.
A quick donation to the Clinton Foundation and Putin could have any Aircraft Carrier he wanted
Here’s one ‘seriously’ as an example.
June 8th. “First US Natural Gas Shipment Arrives In Poland, Undermining Russia”
Trump eating into Pootie Poot’s hard currency energy market in Europe.
I have zero doubt that the Russian intelligence services, like every other one on the planet, had owned her private email server. That’s a lot of leverage.
I imagine Putin could have bought Alaska “back” too.
$7 Million for the U.S. Treasury...
$7 BILLION for the Clinton Slush Fund...
At the moment, Russia is neither ally nor adversary. Had Herself been levered into the Oval Office, Putin would have certainly gone into his all-out bully mode, much as he has demonstrated in Georgia and Ukraine, and the reconquest of the Crimean Peninsula. What did the Obama-Clinton regime do about any of these?
Putin has chosen to tread softly around Donald Trump, who is a sort of unknown quantity. Putin’s circumspect approach lies in not being at all sure of just how Trump might respond, but Putin could move with decisive swift action were he to be dealing with Herself.

“They have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” said the senator who, once again, spoke like the cat who ate the canary.
Hmmmmm, lets see....would Putin want a tough, pro American, pro military person or someone who could be bought for a few donations to her “charity”
