The "retraction" was a lie so ridiculous that it would have been better that he just not said it. Had he retracted it with Putin standing there, it would have meant something.He has a reason to be pissed at them, but it is not presidential to do so..............I think he had a moment of typical shooting from the hip that he always does..........If you had been hounded by them for 2 years you wouldn't like them much either.Losing confidence in our intelligence agencies, and cheering Trump on (or pretending to) while he throws them under the bus with Vladimir Putin standing by his side, are two entirely different universes.Generalization. No one believes our entire intelligence agencies are bad apples. One bad apple don't spoil the whole dang agency. But there are some that have cost confidence in the agency due to all this BS. Average agents and MOST of the agencies are outstanding and do incredible work for this country. But CLEARLY there has been POLITICAL BIAS in this whole FRUIT CAKE POLITICAL MOCKERY OF JUSTICE.So in today's little announcement, Trump says he misspoke and ACTUALLY thinks our intelligence agencies are the cat's pajamas.
His supporters here tell me our intelligence agencies are corrupt and can't be trusted.
So does that make him a dupe or a liar?

Those who are being charged were SPEARPHISHING. Becoming all too common. 1 out of 3 Big companies lose money over it. Identity theft.........stealing of intellectual property.....is a major problem in this internet world.
What he did was terrible, and he did it on the world stage at a critical time. There is no excusing or spinning that.
.
If I had them trying to throw me in prison and charge me for that long my opinion wouldn't be too good about them either. But you and I have not been attacked by them for years...............
Those attacked by the IRS, FBI, NSA, ATF under Obama publically trash them because of what they did to them............They don't hold that back as they openly speak about the abuses on them under Obama. Does that mean they are bad people and hate the whole orgs..............Most of these orgs are honorable people.........But a few bad apples have scarred the reputation of these orgs....................
You are correct that as President he shouldn't have said it.........but I really don't care.........Because in his shoes I'd have already fired some of these clowns.............
Now tell me.............if you were attacked for years by any group...........would you be nice about talking about them. He retracted his statement btw.
And do you think it's a good idea to have a President who has to later retract stuff that he has said when the entire world was watching?
One needs a thick skin in both business and politics. Trump has lashed out like an angry teenager at any criticism since Day One. If he can't stand the heat, he shouldn't be in the kitchen.
