Trump says he misspoke on Russian meddling during press conference, accepts US intel findings
Fox News ^ | July 17, 2018

Posted on 07/17/2018 12:11:11 PM PDT by SMGFan

President Trump said Tuesday that he misspoke when he said he doesn’t see why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 presidential election, clarifying that he accepts the U.S. intelligence community’s findings of election interference.

At the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible.

In Helsinki, speaking at a press conference next to Vladimir Putin a day earlier, Trump had said he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be behind election meddling.

I didn’t know that. I thought maybe it was Bret Baier (who stinks as well).

Absolutely no outcry about the Obama Admin using taxpayer dollars to interfere in the Israeli election the last time Netanyahu ran and won. And the American dollars went to his opponent.

I wouldn’t be as diplomatic.

The Russian meddling stuff was a Deep State plots to remove Trump from office.

They couldn’t prove collusion happened; I don’t owe our traitors and seditionists an apology.

They owe the American people amends for illegal conduct and subverting our democracy to try to oust me from office.

That’s what I would have said because its the truth.

Fox is oversold as a Conservative outlet.

If we’re honest with ourselves, it’s barely 50/50.

Is it better than the 99%/1% that is CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC?

Well sure. It’s much better than that.

and now for something completely different:

One day, a blond was driving down the road when a blond cop pulled her over.

“License and registration please”

“Sorry, I don’t have it with me”

“do you have any sort of, identification?”

“All I have is this picture of myself” she says as she pulls a mirror out of her purse and hands it to the officer.

“Well, if I would have known you were a cop I wouldn’t have pulled you over! You can go now. “

Since Trump did not publicly slap Putin in the face, the media freakshow continues. I am watching CNN and they have 6 people screaming.

The more FakeMedia screams, the more I believe the corruption within the Intelligence Community to interfere in the 2016 election.

That is what they are ignoring in the Goebbelsmedia.

Trump said he trusted the spooks under the leadership of his appointees.

He, rightly, does not trust it for anything but perfidity under Zero.

ehh - don’t care.

Yes he did misspeak yesterday but only in that A. he should’ve denied the question yesterday as inappropriate for a diplomatic forum and B should’ve clarified that Putin said the government was not involved and for displomatox reasons Trump will take him at his word.

For the record i don’t care if the Russians did - the DNC was sloppy and grossly negligent with their own political servers (which is NOT a matter of national security) so it’s their own fault. Let alone that they exposed National Security to the same sloppy and criminally negligent security practices.
The witch hunt is a distraction from real and pressing needs in this country and the DNC is not serving as government leader in any shape sense or form but are criminal thugs trying to steal our money and enslave us. And the RNC are no better here.

This is what happens when you don’t lock her up or drain the swamp.

I remember that, and if Trump didn’t have personal friends on the network like Bolling or Hannity, no one would have defended him.

AP reporter desperately spinning now complaining about the whole trip. WHY is Fox repeatedly asking the AP reporter if “this is enough”? And guess what he said “nothing will ever be enough” to overcome the criticisms of Trump.

Sorry, but Faux News is not his/our/your friend.

They're a giant stinking piece of swamp-s**t.

We’re still debating almost two years later whether Trump legitimately won the election?

That had nothing to do with Russia and everybody knew it.

The real issue has always been the Left’s refusal to accept their defeat in the 2016 election.

Russia is a diversion from that reality. All the rest of it is hot air and fake news.

“””MSM ignores the server comments.”””


MSM is hoping their screams will override the fact the FBI did not investigate any of the servers what were part of the so-called Russian interference.

From the transcript: “I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be. But I really do want to see the server.”

Trump is saying he has no reason to say it would not be Russia, BUT he still wants to see what an investigation into the servers would say.
