    Whoa, this is all over the place.
    First, the intelligence community were working on it so, yes, an investigation was started.
    Second, how can one complain that an election was stolen before an election.......oh wait. Trump did. That seems odd. Just Trump being Trump.
    Third,If Hillary had won she would have started an investigation and Republicans would have stopped it any way they could. Remember with Obama " We won't let anything go thru". Would have been the same. Hell, McConnell would have found another way to put off a SC appointment.
    Fourth, What we know about Trump is he's a stooge. Yes, a narcissist, but he doesn't do what he wants, he does as he's told. The answer to all your questions is money. Trump didn't have any, now he does. Where did it come from? Trump does for Trump, not the United States.
    Fifth, yes you have Obama on video.....why not Trump? Why was no one allowed at the meeting? You're OK with that? This is the second time with this clown but for you , no problem. You complain about Obama lying but no problem with this guy? Seriously?
    Oh, by the way, you never answered the question. Not a surprise.

    Not only does he think that, but based on what the obsessed anti-Trump militia is posting, they are confirming they didn't hear the press conference at all.

    Probably should consider that many people did, before trying to sell their propaganda outside the target audience.

    What I find absolutely fascinating is the last person Trump's fans want to talk about is Trump.

    Why should we talk about Trump when we have you?

    Trump should be impeached for the simple reason that he is just plain stupid. Worse, he makes the mistake of assuming Americans are as stupid as he is.

    Today, he blundered through a weird explanation that he "misspoke" regarding one word from his treasonous news conference yesterday, one word! The whole news conference was a disaster. Just ask the White House as they engage in damage control.

    During the news conference with Putin, Trump said, “They [our intelligence agencies] said, ‘I think it is Russia.’ I have President Putin. He just said it is not Russia. I will say this: I do not see any reason why it would be. I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial.”

    Trump gave us some B.S. about how he misspoke. He meant to say "wouldn't," not "would," making his statement, "I do not see any reason why it wouldn't be."

    The change makes the sentence a double negative, which makes no sense in its context. Also, it doesn't change the damaging statements before and after the now confusing sentence. The original sentence makes more sense from a syntax point of view.

    "They said, 'I think it is Russia!" That foolish statement proves once again that Trump does not listen to his intelligence briefings. Our intelligence doesn't "think" it. They are quite certain. Have been since October 2016.

    Still another reason Trump should be impeached. He is unsuitable to handle the duties as President. Not listening to intelligence briefings is a serious matter.

    So when Trump said he has a lot of confidence in the intelligence agencies, you breezed by and ignored it. I deleted a retort I had planned to please the management here.

    Isn't that a first for the Trump Presidency? Actually admitting he ****ed up instead of blaming someone else?

    Disagreed. There is zero evidence the Russians swayed any votes despite their several attempts. More likely, instead of "influence" it was the revelation that Hillary and the DNC were corrupt that caused so many Democrats to stay home. Bernie voters weren't voting for Hillary anyway, a problem that even Bernie tried to fix when he lost the nomination. Since the vote was so close (2.1%) it didn't take much for Trump to win.

    The Democrat's biggest problem (and slightly less problem for Republicans) was voter turnout. Too many people stayed home rather than vote for a corrupt, deplorable candidate.

    Unfortunately, for you, anyone who heard the press conference, or read a transcript, knows your comment is bullshit.

    Trump did NOT misspeak.

    That is just another lie in a MASSIVELY long list of lies told by Trump.

    If Trump actually believed our democracy was attacked by Russia, he would have DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT - like his oath of office demands.


    To believe ANY other option requires one to believe that Trump is a traitor.

    You have no excuse, MolonLabe.

    Liar or traitor - pick'em.

    If that were true, he must have been misspeaking throughout the entire press conference. The ridiculously transparent attempt to change the tenor of his other remarks by changing "would" to "wouldn't" is comical and tragic all at the same time.

    Please don't tell me you are this gullible and or misinformed. You folks can't keep playing the role of the dupe and expect anyone to think you have any credibility.

    BULL!!!

    He stated that he rejected ALL our intelligence agencies and accepted Putin's word!!!

    And, THAT is the answer that is consistent with Trump's policy direction.

    If he believed Russia attacked our democracy, he would do something to defend America.

    He didn't.

    He TOLD THE TRUTH. He takes Putin's word.

    There is NO other rational explanation.

    No, there isn't anything even slightly dependent on "bile" here.

    Trump has been informed by our intelligence agencies ever since he took office.

    His belief in Putin and his GRU over and above the USA and ALL our intelligence agencies has quite clear - LONG before Trump went to Helsinki.

    His statement there is no more than surprisingly up front confirmation.

    Zero evidence? You just provided some. People didn't vote because they thought HC would win or better, that Trump would not win. You don't think that Russia wasn't behind a lot of negative HC "news"? Come on, of course they were and like you pointed out they only had to sway a few voters in key states. As far as evidence of that, how could that be proven? It was very, very clever and a lot fell for it.

    lol!!

    No!

    His actions AND statements have been that he believes Putin over and above our intel agencies have been stated over and over again since his election.

    And, they have been consistent with his decision to not call for even one move to defend against Russian attacks on our democracy.

    You don't get to come along and suggest Trump is somebody else - somebody who cares about America's democracy.

    You lost that right many months ago.

    That's not evidence the Russians "caused" her to lose. Are you denying that Hillary and the DNC were corrupt? Was it not the revelation that the nomination was fixed and, due her loooong record of shady dealing and corruption, that the lies about her emails was the last straw for many Democrats?

    As for why people didn't vote, why don't you ask Democrats why they didn't vote for Hillary?

    No, he absolutely did NOT. He may have said some words that sounded like that.

    But, had he meant them, EVER, he would be moving to defend our democracy against the attacks of Russia.

    Actions speak.

    All you hard was one more lie.
