Trump informed Russians their ‘unhealthy’ meddling is identical as ‘good’ US meddling – WaPo’s recent Russiagate resurrection try

With the US president dealing with a Ukraine-linked impeachment probe, the Washington Submit has delivered a recent ‘bombshell.’ Not solely does Trump suppose nothing of Russian interference in 2016, he even stated as a lot to the Russians!

The newspaper of report discovered a brand new approach to flog the lifeless horse of collusion, treating its readers to outrageous particulars a couple of “now-infamous” assembly that Donald Trump had with the Russian international minister and ambassador to the US in Could 2017. Trump informed the Russian officers that he didn’t care a lot about alleged Russian interference within the 2016 presidential election “as a result of america did the identical in different international locations.” Nonetheless, the White Home allegedly tried to cowl up his feedback.

Typically useful unnamed former officers informed the WaPo how “distressed” they had been by the remarks, wherein Trump apparently forgave “Russia for an assault that had been designed to assist elect him” and conflated “Russia’s interference within the US elections with US efforts to advertise democracy and good governance overseas.”

“He thought the entire interference factor was ridiculous. He by no means purchased into it,” one of many sources informed the newspaper.

This perception into the present administration is not any massive shock to just about anyone who cared to concentrate. Trump by no means made it a secret that he noticed your entire narrative that Russia in some way performed an assault worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 towards the US as bogus and a political ploy by his Democratic opponents to undermine his presidency.

And, after all, the well-documented American report of meddling in different nations goes far past the promotion of democracy and good governance, each prior to now and now. Individuals who subscribe to this notion say ‘Properly, it’s for a very good trigger.’ However Trump’s “streak of ethical equivalency,” as one other former official known as it, is seen as an abomination.

It's nicely, nicely price watching all of this alternate between Laura Ingraham and former CIA director James Woolsey. Woolsey acknowledges that the US has meddled in different international locations' elections prior to now and is doing so now, and each he and Ingraham discover this laudable and humorous. pic.twitter.com/TR3X7VM7Np

Simply so we’re clear on how fucked up this all is:

– Trump ADMITTED Russia interfered to assist him within the election.

– As an alternative of prosecuting (or punishing) Russia for this, he informed them it was “wonderful.”

– Then he illegally HID the report of the dialog on a SECRET SERVER. https://t.co/IJu4jt1zn8

Of all the points that cascade from The Submit's new report, price remembering that that is one thing that Russia knew Trump had carried out and the general public didn't.
