Trump: “[T]hat whole thing was set up by the Democrats.”

Trump: “You know, there are those that say, if he did do it, he wouldn't have gotten caught, all right? Which is a very interesting statement.”

Trump: “[T]his is really an artificial barrier that's put in front of us for solving problems with Russia.”

“Do you believe him?” Trump says much more than that Putin is “very strong” that “he didn’t do it.” He then goes into *inside job* DNC conspiracy theory about Podesta, and the server — concluding that “if you look at all of this stuff, and you say, what's going on here?”

He’s not done, he then also goes after then US intelligence agencies. Trump: “And then you hear it's 17 agencies. Well, it's three. And one is Brennan and one is whatever. I mean, give me a break. They're political hacks.”

Trump: “So you look at it — I mean, you have Brennan, you have Clapper, and you have Comey. Comey is proven now to be a liar and he's proven to be a leaker.”

Trump’s conclusion: “So you look at that, and you have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with that.”
Show this thread -
tl;dr: Trump: 1. Says people are saying Putin should have been caught if he did it. 2. Suggests the hack could have been an inside DNC job. 3. Dismisses US intelligence assessments. 4. Explicitly says he looks at all that in light of Putin’s denials and moves on.

[I'd missed this earlier in the thread. Trump brought it up again later.] Trump: "This artificial Democratic hit job gets in the way and that’s a shame. Because people will die because of it. And it’s a pure hit job."pic.twitter.com/ZT9iEkzvFv

Ah, McCain did respond to Trump’s extended Air Force One gaggle defense of Putin:https://twitter.com/senjohnmccain/status/929476511480020992 …

After his staff was able to follow up with him, Trump walked back his defense in part, but who knows what this actually means:https://twitter.com/buzzfeednews/status/929556967755939840 …

And even that is such a half-walkback.

Fox News doesn't have reporters; it has entertainers.

All you need to know about Roberts is that he's too dim to understand which Murdoch-ordered talking points are ok for public use & which are only for the safe space of Fox News. See the reaction he got from real White House correspondents for calling Clinton, the Shadow President
