Yes he did, and that opinion was that the Russians "probably" hacked computers during the 2016 election, but that it might have been "other people in other countries" as well.I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I've already given my opinion.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
Wait, so that's it. He "strongly pressed," Putin denied it, and now it is time to just drop it?...We negotiated a ceasefire in parts of Syria which will save lives. Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
Actually no, it gets worse than that.
Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
Holy shit!...have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
So not only is Trump dismissing the reports from American intelligence agencies about Russian hacking as "fake news," but he is literally inviting the Russians inside our cyber security systems to help them do a better job of hacking the elections the next time around.
(By the way since the DNI signed off on that intelligence report identifying Russia as the hackers, it was technically correct that all 17 agencies agreed on that since the DNI is an umbrella group which represents them, however it is true that only the FBI, CIA, NSA, the Justice Department, and the DNI were directly involved in the investigation. Really not sure how pointing that out helps explain why Trump is not holding the Russians accountable.)
But wait, there's more.
Sure, why would Trump talk about sanctions when clearly does not believe there is any reason for them?Sanctions were not discussed at my meeting with President Putin. Nothing will be done until the Ukrainian & Syrian problems are solved!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
Okay well if you still entertained any doubts that Trump was a puppet of Vladimir Putin's I think you can put those doubts to rest.
