sparkmannPresident Donald Trump’s bizarre weekend highlights just how deeply the Kremlin has burrowed into Western politics, nowhere more than the United States. Trump blew apart his Asian trip by insisting that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, had nothing to do with meddling in our election last year—because the Kremlin boss says so.
In Vietnam on Saturday, Trump announced that he spoke to Putin on the sideline of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Danang, and the Russian president “said he absolutely did not meddle in our election.” He added, “Every time he sees me he says I didn’t do that and I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it.” Trump then stated that the Kremlin boss “is very insulted by” reports that Russia interfered in our 2016 election, and this is “not a good thing for our country.” Adding fuel to the fire he set, Trump dismissed allegations of Russian meddling as “this artificial Democratic hit job,” then castigated the leadership of the Intelligence Community he inherited on his inauguration in January as dishonest “political hacks.”

Here is how it works out
Date: 2017-11-12 09:16 pm (UTC)You see, there's a simple way to get rid of the brand of "liar." The truth can only be told to those who have the right to know it. If they admit that Mr. Trump and Co do not have the right to know the truth, then Mr. Putin's lies could not be called "a lie".

FBI director Christopher Wray: Putin attacked 2016 election.
NSA head Mike Rogers: Putin attacked 2016 election.
Putin: I did not attack 2016 election.
Trump: I believe Putin.
Let me explain that

No evidence could be found, since he is clever enough to hire some hitmen for that.Re: Let me explain that

BTW, there is a nice line of movie character -- the Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard ( "The Fugitive", 1993 ) -- I do like that line very much :

"Henry, Dr. Nichols lied to me. Go find him."
As well, as this part of the story :
https://youtu.be/S3caKy8fYOw
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Who held the keys sir?
Old Guard: Me.
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Where those keys at?
Old Guard: I don't know.
Poole: Care to revise your statement, sir?
Old Guard: What?
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Do you want to change your bullshit story, sir?
[Poole shows guard a picture of Kimble]
Old Guard: He might have got out.
I guess at least one of Presidents needs to learn on how these lines should be used in modern world.
