together with President Obama by the FBI (well over a month ago). At today's news conference, Trump claimed that he "knew of no contacts" -- even in the case of Paul Manafort.
But Trump DID know the basics, as he was briefed by the FBI on this very matter (with President Obama), and Trump was told that his campaign aides, plural -- not just Manafort (who is also rather inexplicably saying that he's never talked to anyone in Russia), had extensive, "constant" communication with Russian officials (likely including Russian intelligence). And yet here is Trump stating that he didn't know about any/knew nothing about Russian contacts?

(8,999 posts)What a surprise. They were so keen to pursue crap about HRC based on absolutely nothing. Compared to the 400 plus lies from Scrotus. I lost count.

The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story - RUSSIA. Fake news!

(86,878 posts)he refused to go to or hear security briefings... therefore, he wouldn't know anything. And since it was allegedly Pence who attended them, he can't deny knowing anything either.
They are all lying their asses off and we know it.
The rabid dog treatment would suffice in my world.
