Trump Surrounded by Corrupt Staff: Some Claim He's Not Involved or Knew Anything

He didn't know nothing 

(The Sgt. Schultz excuse)

Trump is in way over head as President and the following proves this fact:

Trump unleashed his frustration about the Russia investigation and Special Counsel Robert Mueller during a wide-ranging interview on CBS with “Face the Nation” (Sunday, February 3) thus:

• Trump said: “You have to get rid of the Russia investigation.”

• Trump parroted a Kremlin talking point, downplayed the crimes members of his inner circle pleaded guilty to, and suggested he may object to the release of a final report in the Russia probe.

• Trump referred to the 12 Russian FSB intelligence officers and 13 Russian nationals aligned with the Kremlin who have been charged as “Bloggers.”

Note: By calling them bloggers, Trump appeared to be echoing Putin’s exact claim [… that many of the Russians who were indicted are merely independent hackers who are not aligned with the Kremlin].

But U.S. intelligence officials say that defense is a Red Herring because the Kremlin rarely carries out its own orders. 

Instead, Putin is known to use proxies to do his dirty work to maintain plausible deniability.

• Trump defended the longtime GOP strategist Roger Stone, who was recently arrested and charged with lying to Congress, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. Trump said he has “not thought about pardoning Stone yet.”

• Trump initially said it's up to the AG whether or not to release the final Mueller, but walks back his comment, saying: “I don't know. It depends. I have no idea what it (the report) is going to say.”

My 2 cents: Not much to add – this “Face the Nation” interview pretty much covers the whole gambit.

Thanks for stopping by.
