TrumPutinGate

[MT LeConte]

I don't know why the Republican leadership doesn't help the Democrats show Trump the door. They can get a hell of a lot more done with a sane Mike Pence than they ever will with this fruitcake. I'll sleep a little better also.

There is a different standard at play. Hillary was innocent until proven guilty (even after she was proven guilty). Trump is guilty until proven innocent ( even after he's proven innocent).

I am sure he will let us know in 160 characters or less, tomorrow morning, 4 am.

And it will be complaining about the leak of what he leaked. Which is exquisitely ironic.

I have 0 doubts that this is true. He might be better than HRC but that doesn't make him intelligent

Of course you don't. NeverTrump confirmation bias.

If you have some actual evidence then share it

He works for a never Trumper is my guess. He is tainted by the Beltway.

According to unnamed source. Who to believe? :question:

Laura?

Well then never mind, obviously.

It may be somebody fed the Wash Post some crap. We don't know yet.

You've been in a state of denial for over three months now.

I wouldn't trust your sources over Laura Ingrahams, tbh.

Unlike you, I am waiting for some actual evidence of wrongdoing.

I voted for Trump. My boss's committee handles these matters. I can say this: If it has been US GATHERED intelligence this would be exaggeration. It wasn't US gathered intel.

Oopsie

I can believe the Washington Post didn't confirm the story with Lavrov, McMaster or Dina Powell... but so what? That doesn't mean their story is not accurate. Fox News is playing defense right now but they are not disproving the story. Look at what Bob Corker said!

 

[1972 Grad]

McMaster said "I was in the room, and it didn't happen." He said the "story as written is false."

 

[lawgator1]

Lol, McMaster with the classic strawman argument.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS PATHETIC.

So you don't believe Lt. Gen. McMaster when he says that he was in the room and no information was shared? I think I'll trust what the military guy and our nation's national security adviser is saying over unnamed sources.

 

[lawgator1]

McMaster said "I was in the room, and it didn't happen." He said the "story as written is false."

That's not what he said.

He mischaracterized the article, then said the mischaracterization is false. He did not address what is in the article.

Classic strawman.

That is not what he said.

He took the article, which says A, and claimed it said B, and then said B never happened.

The only argument I can imagine is:

POTUS has the ability to declassify literally anything he wants.

 

[1972 Grad]

Classic strawman.

That was a direct quote. "I was in the room, and it didn't happen" Also, "the story, as written, is false."

 

[BowlBrother85]

"The story as written is false".... Sounds like butt covering to me. Some things could be right and some things could be wrong. This is a type of linguistic gymnastics. He can deny the whole story by implying any part of it might be inaccurate. We will see where this goes.

Want to know if it's true or not? See if the reporter is arrested in the next 24-hours.

Correct.

I can wait.

Why would a reporter be arrested?
