BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 11/11/17 02:45 PM EST
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), a frequent critic of President Trump on Twitter, said Saturday that Trump is lying about Russias attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.
I have seen the classified information on Russian hacking. @realDonaldTrump has received classified briefings. I can tell you that @POTUS is LYING," Lieu wrote on Twitter.
"Trump knows the Kremlin hacked America last year, Lieu added, quoting a report from The New York Times that details Trumps Saturday comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The tweet from Lieu comes after Trump answered reporters' questions about his meeting with Putin during a stop in Vietnam on Saturday, saying he believes Putin means it when he denies Russia meddled in the United States election.

What dirt does Putin have over Trump? Could that be why Trump is being so complementary to Putin?

and possible pee pee tape. I doubt that if the tape proves to be true that his base would care much. The Roy Moores out there that voted for him would probably think nothing is wrong with it anyhow. It would prove the the Moron lied so that is just added to his list of crimes. Even if Mueller has a solid case and the Party Over Principles/Country GOP doesn't impeach him the NY AG will nail him...no pardons allowed there!

(30,745 posts)the pee pee tapes. They didn't care about the pussy-grabbing comments. They don't care about Moore.
It has to be worse than pee pee. It has to be traitorous and illegal. It has to be so bad that even the diehard repiggies will not be able to excuse it.

(16,786 posts)The First Lady will be further humiliated in the eyes of the world for the lying cheat she married. She went into this marriage with her eyes wide open as to the kind of man Trump is. For a man who cheats on his with his Mistress, will cheat on the Mistress after he makes her his wife.
A scandalous divorce will dominate the news cycle, as will the continuing Russia investigation has since Comey was fired. Stay tuned.

(16,786 posts)let us hope so. It is already being investigated by Robert Mueller that Paul Manafort was involved in money laundering. Perhaps the Trump Organization as well.
I am sure Robert Mueller is paying very close attention to the words of Trump in connecting the dots he needs to connect to nail this lying bastard once and for all.

(7,432 posts)In a way, I envy you. For nearly two years, I've been writing about Trumpy's treason, his being an agent of Russia, and his pathological lying. And you've been pensively wondering about whether Trumpy's been involved in something nefarious. I could have saved myself a lot of stress if I took your position. We never get younger, do we?

And two years? Your profile says you have not been here two years.

I mean, if tRumputin confessed to grabbing women by their "pussy's" wasn't enough to get him out of the race last year, and if people who voted for him as SCROTUS were okay with him being a sexual predator/assaulter/racist etc., then putin must have his Federal Income taxes or something dealing with him money-laundering, fatso on a voice imprint talking to him. And even with something that damaging to fatso, he'll still have his 20-30% who support him and who say that it doesn't matter that he's guilty of treason etc.
