Trump goes on Twitter tirade against 'sleazebag' opponents pushing 'FAKE NEWS' about Russia

Source: Reuters

13 JAN 2017 AT 07:24 ET

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday accused his political opponents, both Democrats and Republicans, for putting together a dossier of unverified claims linking him to Russia and said the document was probably released by intelligence agencies.

Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists, Trump said in a series of posts on Twitter.

Probably released by Intelligence even knowing there is no proof, and never will be, he said. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!

He then claimed Hillary Clinton should never have been allowed to run because she was guilty as hell of unspecified crimes investigated by the FBI.

If they say it, it's the God's own truth, or that's the drivel that comes out of his mouth anyway. In reality, he sounds like a whiny 10 year old covering up for his BFF when he's caught doing something bad.

Trump is scared shitless about the truth of how he worked w/Russia to steal the election getting out. If Trump said it was cold and dark @ midnight in Nome, Alaska I would put on shorts and sunglasses.

Everything bad he says about anyone else is really describing things he himself has done or promoted. Fake news, hmm, he was totally OK with this when it was in his favor so now some truth is coming out and what does he claim? Hillary shouldn't have been allowed to run due to unspecified criminal actions - again he's totally describing himself. He's the real criminal and what he will do to the US is beyond criminal, all the way to being a traitor.

Also he's gonna have a report by "his people" -we will live in a fact free universe. It's will be Trump's America like it's Putin's Russia. Nothing to do with the people that live here. Just slaves to the billionaires.

Hillary is guilty

What the F**K is wrong with him? And, why is he still running against her? We're all going to die because of this POS.

Oh yeah, that's his default mode, blame Hillary. Talk about a one trick pony. While "sleazebag operatives" may have paid for the report, they didn't create it. Would "my people" be the same ones he was going to send to Hawaii to find proof Obama was not born there? I don't know how much of the report is true but his actions since its release are making him look guilty as hell. Isn't it Kelly Anne's job to control this kind of situation? Not doing such a great job is she. Wonder how long before he fires her?

Comey never did like Hillary so his framing of the issue was biased. It wasn't like Comey was investigating a crime and simply came up short on evidence in order to prosecute. He had only come across an opportunity for a crime and the party responsible for such a crime would have been the IT person responsible for setting up the private email server. Once Comey gave that person immunity from prosecution the criminal case ground to a halt because the content of the email was never a criminal matter. When Comey reopened the case he knew that all he had was a backup file and the only thing that could be discovered is email Hillary deleted after the backup file was taken, however Hillary already said that she deleted private email before releasing her server to the FBI. The FBI did find a handful of those emails and described one as a discussion between the two women about what they were going to wear to an event. Indeed, the closest thing to a crime in this case, other than the IT person granted immunity, was committed by Comey when he violated FBI protocol on speaking about ongoing investigations.

It's NEVER proven or proof until after the fact. Bin Laden Determined to strike in US. Well that happened. Before it wasn't proven. Also much of it will never happen-it's the possibility and the links and the sources to see what might and how to stop things from happening and what moves to make.
