Fact-checking Trump’s error-filled tweetstorm about the Russia investigation

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...d-tweet-storm-about-the-russia-investigation/


Looks like the liar-in-chief was in rare form:

"Trump claims he “never said Russia did not meddle in the election” and then repeats a line in which he essentially disputed that by saying that a 400-pound hacker sitting in bed could have been behind the interference. One might argue that undermines his statement, but in any case, there are numerous instances of Trump suggesting that the Russian intervention in the election was a hoax ginned up by Democrats. He has also denounced the investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign had worked with the Russians, even after meetings and conversations were revealed. But from the start, he has consistently sought to minimize or dispute any possible Russian role in the election.

According to The Fact Checker’s database of Trump claims, Trump in his first year as president then 44 more times denounced the Russian probe as a hoax or witch hunt perpetuated by Democrats. For instance, here’s a tweet from the president after reports emerged about the use of Facebook by Russian operatives, a key part of the indictment:

Trump acknowledges Russia role in U.S. election hacking: aide

Yup...good catch..it seems that the President says whatever he feels in the moment..not exactly news.

Once again, Trump is correct

He always maintained that he didn't know who was cyber attacking us

He assumed everybody, as we do the same thing all over the world

Any proof of collusion yet

Yet you choose to spread disinformation rather than research. It also shows the wp’s biased dishonesty, as they posted of his acknowledgement way back then, as well.

How do you "fact check" an investigation while the investigation is going on? Hatred will do strange things to your reasoning.

They all like to play on words

They don’t know the first thing about true facts, just as neither do you.

ahh..OK..which is the disinformation seems to depends on where you stand politically. When you have the same person saying multiple things...some of which are 180 degrees from the other..who do you believe? Well..whatever bolsters your arguments, of course--right?

He has always maintained there was no collusion, which has been proven to true. They use word play to try to claim they have a gotcha moment.
