Renew Deal

Trump modified prepared remarks today to add "could be other people also."

MSNBC has a picture of his prepared notes. They were typed out. Someone wrote "there was no colusion" (with the spelling error included). He also said something about believing the intelligence that says Russia did it, but added "could be other people also". The "other people" remark was not in his typed notes. Why is he trying to cover up for Russia?

So he just throws whatever out there.

It's irrelevant.

Russia interfered, Trump knows they interfered (because he colluded with them), and Russia knows Trump knows they interfered.

Case closed.
