1) How does he know? What information is he privy to as a retired gov’t employee that we aren’t - as specifically regards THIS ISSUE?

2) OK, so let’s say that the Russians DID meddle in the election (hardly a stretch, countries do that all the time, including us in AT LEAST Israel’s elections on multiple occasions). The real question isn’t whether they meddled, but the effect of such meddling. How many votes did they actually change - and in which direction?

3) IMHO, if Russia meddled, it would have been in favor of Hillary who, after all, wasn’t planning to beef up our military, and who wasn’t planning to drill for oil like crazy. IOW, it would have been very much in Russia’s interest for Hillary to win, not Trump. Oh, yeah, and before I forget: Russia also likely had detailed records of exactly what happened in the Uranium One affair, especially including who paid what to whom. That would have been something that they could have held over her head to influence policy - and there is no such information regarding Trump.

So, to make a long story short: Hey, President Bush - we liked it better when you stayed quiet and enjoyed your retirement.

There was NO RUSSIAN HACKING!!!

Yep. It was Jeh Johnson at Homeland Security that got caught hacking into 21 State data bases if I remember correctly.

Bush is a stone nut case. A sad example of a mixed up fool.

Dear GW Bush

Present the evidence. Rumor, hearsay and innuendo are not fact.

If you have zero fact to back this up, I wants my donations, my volunteer campaigning time and my votes back. You are a disgrace to the nation making these sort of comments on foreign soil

It’s sad to see someone so bitter over his brother losing, he’s willing to abandon his principles (or the parties principles), and join the other side to attack the winner. Bit of a turncoat, he is.

If DJT lasts another day, week, year, or seven years, that he drop kicked the Bushes, the Clintons and Obama will be his lasting tribute to American politics

This...so...so much this. If DJT did nothing else but "drop kicking" the Clintons and the Bushes, the two families that dominated US Politics for the last 30, that is service enough.

How does he know? What investigative committee is he on? Did Yeb! tell him?

He knows because he got a phone call.

Phone rings: Mr President, George, we need you to issue a statement today and reminding you that if you don't the files we have about you will be released to the press. Check your email. You will find your statement there.

>>>Americans don’t want to pick cotton at 105 degrees<<<

“Trump doesn’t deny what Russia did”

I’ve never seen an example of what the Russians did.

But it appears the the Russians and Clinton, Inc. might have worked closely together.

For 8 straight years, W stayed silent as the obam blamed him for EVERY problem and shortcoming. Now he finds his voice.

The whole W team should be in Guantanamo. The Clintons and Obamas must look up to him as they chant we are not worthy.
