With the candlestick in the library?

LOL. This must be the easiest con Putin ever pulled.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not discuss alleged election meddling on Saturday, despite Trump saying they did, according to Putin’s office.

“No,” Putin’s press secretary Dmitri Peskov told CNN when asked, “as far as you know, did the two leaders discuss meddling?"

Putin has never had to clown a dumber national leader in his lengthy career.

Also, Putin almost undoubtedly has dirt on DJT, whether tape of underage hookers, pee tapes, or whatever…Trump is exactly the kind of arrogant, moronic foreigner who would fall right into a KGB op like that. Putin must never stop giggling whenever the subject of DJT comes up.

Trump: Putin never lies, he’s a great guy, we talked about this whole thing and he said it wasn’t him.
Putin: Trump lied.

5677

And also:
Trump: I talked to Putin and he said he didn’t do it. I believe him.
Press: Putin says you never asked him about it.
Trump: Putin’s a liar. We did talk about it and he’s an honest guy.
Everyone: …

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has questioned Sam Clovis, co-chairman of President Donald Trump’s election campaign, to determine if Trump or top aides knew of the extent of the campaign team’s contacts with Russia, two sources familiar with the investigation said on Friday.

The focus of the questions put to Clovis by Mueller’s team has not been previously reported.

“The ultimate question Mueller is after is whether candidate Trump and then President-elect Trump knew of the discussions going on with Russia, and who approved or even directed them,” said one source. “That is still just a question.”

Clovis testified in late October before the grand jury in Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He is also cooperating with the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating the same issues.

Contacted late on Friday, the White House declined to comment.

One of the sources described Clovis as “another domino” after former campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI over his own contacts with Russians during the 2016 election campaign.

“The investigators now know what Papadopoulos was doing on the Russian front, which he initially tried to conceal, and who he told that to,” said the other source. “Now [they] want to know whether Clovis and others reported these activities and others related to Russia, and if so, to whom,” this source said.

Trump now believes Putin and the CIA at the same time or something. I guess he knows 12-dimensional chess and quantum mechanics and stuff and this is beyond my understanding.

My reaction to this is: ??? I keep saying he has a mental age of 12, but when I can only react to him in punctuation marks, that’s more like a dog. It’s like when I look at my little girl and cock my head to the side and ask which way she wants to go, except that my dog has a lot better idea of which way to go on our walk than Trump does with this country.

What you fail to understand is that his consciousness can pierce the multiverse. Most of us can see only one reality; he can perceive an infinitude.

The O’Reilly Auto Parts is a nice touch too. I think Bill would make a good auto parts dealer.

I thought Pompeo was in the tank for Trump as he blew off the reports of Russian meddling in the election and on got the impression he really didn’t like Killary

This seems like a big story in the making.

“Hey Don. We have an unusual idea,” Wikileaks wrote on October 21, 2016. “Leak us one or more of your father’s tax returns.” Wikileaks then laid out three reasons why this would benefit both the Trumps and Wikileaks. One, The New York Times had already published a fragment of Trump’s tax returns on October 1; two, the rest could come out any time “through the most biased source (e.g. NYT/MSNBC).”

It is the third reason, though, Wikileaks wrote, that “is the real kicker.” “If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality,” Wikileaks explained. “That means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won’t be perceived as coming from a ‘pro-Trump’ ‘pro-Russia’ source.” It then provided an email address and link where the Trump campaign could send the tax returns, and adds, “The same for any other negative stuff (documents, recordings) that you think has a decent chance of coming out. Let us put it out.”

I really hope Donnie Trump Jr enjoys prison life. It’s almost impossible to believe, but true - he’s even dumber than DJT.
