President Trump: “The Democrats, a lot of it had to do, they say, with Ukraine. It’s very interesting. It’s very interesting. They have this server, right? From the DNC, Democratic National Committee. The FBI went in and they told them, ‘Get out of here. You’re not getting it. We’re not giving it to you.’ They gave the server to CrowdStrike or whatever it’s called, which is a company owned by a very wealthy Ukrainian. And I still want to see that server. You know, the FBI has never gotten that server. That’s a big part of this whole thing. Why did they give it to a Ukrainian company?”
Steve Doocy of “Fox and Friends”: “Are you sure they did that? Are you sure they gave it to Ukraine?”
Trump: “Well, that’s what the word is.”

The president persists in pursuing a debunked conspiracy theory. Somehow, we’ve never gotten around to assigning a Pinocchio rating for this claim. Maybe that’s because there aren’t enough Pinocchios available in our system to truly do this justice.
Note to the president: When even one of your strongest TV allies expresses skepticism about a claim, it’s probably time to drop it.
The Facts
Trump made these comments the day after Fiona Hill, his former top Russia adviser, told Congress that any notion that Ukraine intervened in the 2016 election was a hoax hatched by Russia to deflect from its well-documented efforts to interfere in the vote.
“Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did,” Hill said. “This is a fictional narrative that's being perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves.”

So this is where they don’t want anyone looking, eh?
I wonder why.
Thanks for the tip, WaPoo.
Lisa Page, now Glenn Kessler. The traitors THEMSELVES are now writing friggin’ OP-EDs??? Am I dreaming?
An examination of the server would prove that Russia did not hack the DNC.
Seth Rich was the source of the leak and they killed him for it.
THAT’S what they are trying desperately to keep quiet.
So Fake New are you lying to us now, or were you lying in 2017?
Since you had no reason to lie then, and it fits your extremist Democrat Fascist Party political agenda to lie now, it seems pretty clear which is the lie.
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
Whether the DNC gave them the server or just gave them access to the server, it was Crowdstrike that claimed the Russians had hacked it.
This is like that time the Washington Post assured their readers that Trump’s comments about the Obama Administration spying on his campaign was completely baseless, possible insane and certainly very scary.
Who ‘debunked’ it?
You did=, WaPo???? Oh... we get it.

Hi.
Apparently Glenn Kessler doesn’t read the fishwrap that employs him.
5.56mm
Bezo’s mouthpiece tries again....
I wonder how these people sleep at night?.................
“debunked” sighting.
This is fake-news’ favorite buzzword to use when covering up the truth
Given no one threatens them personally, I would imagine quite well. These people truly believe what they're saying. OTOH, if you have had any association to Trump, present, past, or imaginary, your life will always be under some sort of personal threat.
What are they going to say when the IG report comes out and indictments start getting unsealed?................
Ya see with commies, everything they do is “justified” in order to turn America communist. They dont hate Trump specifically, they hate the fact that America isnt the Communist Utopia they envisioned..that their plan was foiled
Counting down the days to the IG report. I suspect it’s only going to get more “fun” as the day approaches. :)
lol, yes. I can’t wait for the Washington Post to called it the “debunked” IG report
I think you’re confusing Glenn Simpson (fusion gps guy) with Glenn Kessler ( WaPo ‘journalist’).
there goes wapo- projecting again- at least they are consistent
