From the Start, Trump Has Muddied a Clear Message: Putin Interfered

WASHINGTON — Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.

The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.

Mr. Trump sounded grudgingly convinced, according to several people who attended the intelligence briefing. But ever since, Mr. Trump has tried to cloud the very clear findings that he received on Jan. 6, 2017, which his own intelligence leaders have unanimously endorsed.

The shifting narrative underscores the degree to which Mr. Trump regularly picks and chooses intelligence to suit his political purposes. That has never been more clear than this week.

This is a big deal that we'll be hearing a lot about tomorrow. What do you think?
 
Why didn’t Obama stop Putin?

Because Obama is secretly a Trump supporter. He made himself so unpopular that even someone as retarded as Trump could take his place. When he and Michelle are alone, they whip out their red MAGA hats, pop open a can of dip, and watch them some Hannity.
 
President Bush was told without a doubt that Iraq had WMD's. Intelligence agencies aren't always right. Healthy skepticism is in order.

Hate to break this to you, Sparky but the Russians have been "meddling" in our elections for decades! They did it under Obama, they did it under Bush, they did it under Clinton, they did it under the first Bush, they did it under Reagan! Barry didn't care about Russian attempts to meddle until Hillary lost and all of the sleazy things that his Party had been doing were revealed. Now you liberals care?
 
What's REALLY pathetic is that it took Russian "meddling" to reveal to the American people just how corrupt the Clinton campaign and the DNC were in that election! That should have been something that was being done by media outlets like the New York Times but they were too busy kissing Hillary's ass and smearing Trump to do their jobs as journalists!
