<snip>
The American people seem to be in a state of shock. The new information is almost too much to believe. Could the occupant of the White House really be working on behalf of Russia instead of on behalf of the United States?
Still, as the Washington Post points out in an insightful article today, with all of the hubbub and the recriminations, there is still one thing missing: Trump has never actually denied that he has been working for Russia.
<snip>
In the presidents semi-coherent 350-word response he never says that the content of the Times article was wrong. He never says there is no FBI investigation. And he never says he is not a Russian asset, or a Russian spy.
Saying that he was insulted is not the same as saying that the reporting is false. - PoliticusUSA

Even if he did deny, it would mean nothing, coming from a habitual liar.

But that's not the same as never making any under-the-table deals with Putin.

But Lindsey said the American people don't care about this "Russia nonsense"
