Putin: Trump did not bring up election meddling
Source: The Hill
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not discuss alleged election meddling on Saturday, despite Trump saying they did, according to Putins office.
No, Putin's press secretary Dmitri Peskov told CNN when asked, as far as you know, did the two leaders discuss meddling?"
Trump and Putin met on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting in Vietnam. When asked about his meeting with Putin, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that Putin denied attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election.
I just asked him again, Trump said. He said he absolutely did not meddle in our election, he did not do what they are saying he did. The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential election in favor of Trump.

(8,200 posts)Putin has videos of his cavorting with prostitutes and has him by the proverbial balls. He nothing more than a nasty creep that even lusts after his own daughter. Trump is Putin's bitch and the pimp is just slapping his favorite ho to keep him in line.

(9,696 posts)won't have a problem with it, and those who don't support him will not be supprised.
Now, the money thing, whether or not people understand it, if it's tied to money laundering (and it is IMO) then it will be illegal. His supporters don't really have a say in that.

(33,587 posts)But if he is lying about this, then he is probably lying about meddling.
But if we are to believe him about telling Trump Russia did not meddle.
Then we should also believe him that it did not come up.
But if it did not come up, he could not have lied or told the truth about it.
But if did come up and he is now lying, he probably lied...
Oh what a tangled web.
Exactly!

(18,964 posts)Putin's plan is to cause chaos in America and he knows that pitching Trump against the Democrats will keep the instability going...his next goal has to be to create a Constitutional Crisis so there will be something akin to a Civil War...
It's all working out quite nicely for him...

(358 posts)Trump's people claimed Putin was wrong about their upcoming meeting in Vietnam. An obvious attempt to make the Russians look needy and desperate. Now Putin has paid them back by denying something that Trump claimed was said there actually happened. Making Trump look like a liar.
Pure payback.

(51,129 posts)Following is a transcript of those comments, as prepared by the White House. It has been lightly edited for clarity. ...................
REPORTER: Did Russias attempts to meddle in U.S. elections come up in the conversation?
TRUMP: He said he didnt meddle. He said he didnt meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times. But I just asked him again, and he said he absolutely did not meddle in our election. He did not do what theyre saying he did. And he said
REPORTER: Do you believe him?
TRUMP: Well, look, I cant stand there and argue with him. Id rather have him get out of Syria, to be honest with you. Id rather have him you know, work with him on the Ukraine than standing and arguing about whether or not because that whole thing was set up by the Democrats. ................
Here we go again, the Democrats lost the election on purpose by screwing themselves so they could bring down the guy they put in office by fucking themselves over.
Makes perfect sense to me.
