February 17, 2018: President Trump May Still Trusts Vladimir Putin

 

2/17/18: The news has not been kind of late to our president. Even the First Lady may be thinking about killing him. (See: 2/16/18.) Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team continue to push the investigation into Russian meddling during the last election. This is the same meddling the president has long insisted never occurred. How could he be so sure when every U.S. intelligence agency said the Russians were involved? Trump said he asked Vladimir Putin if he interfered. 

Putin said no.

Considering the president’s “I-trust-Vlad” stance, it must come as a shock to many Trump True Believers to realize that Mueller has now indicted thirteen Russians and three Russian organizations for meddling in the campaign. Charges included conspiracy, identity theft and failing to register as foreign agents. 

Mueller also charges that several Russians, posing as Americans, “communicated with unwitting individuals” associated with Trump campaign “to seek to coordinate political activities.” 

At best, individuals associated with the campaign were unwitting tools. They might not have been crooks. 

They were definitely tools.



Team Trump had plenty of contacts with Russians.
