Trump: 'They are laughing their asses off in Moscow' over how US handled Russia investigations
CNN ^ | 18 Feb 2018 | Maegan Vazquez,

Posted on 02/18/2018 6:49:18 AM PST by mandaladon

President Donald Trump says Russians are "laughing their asses off in Moscow" for the way Washington has handled the Russia investigations, following the Department of Justice's charges against Russian nationals last week for interfering in the 2016 election.

"If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!" Trump tweeted Sunday morning. The President has repeatedly called the investigations into his presidential campaign's potential collusion with Russia a "hoax," but on Sunday, Trump tried to clarify his stance.

"I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said 'it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer,'" Trump tweeted. "The Russian 'hoax' was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!" Russia has denied any involvement in the election, and Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion. On Sunday, Trump also praised Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, for placing some blame for Russian interference into the election onto the Obama administration. "Finally, Liddle' Adam Schiff, the leakin' monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!" Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

Fake news, he certainly did not “praise” Schiff.

Joe McCarthy proved back in the fifties that all roads to Russia went straight through the Democrat Party. Has anything changed in sixty plus years? I find it ironic the Dems went to the Russia narrative to try and get Trump kicked out of office when their collusion with the “Red Bear” is a mile wide. Putin has the goods on all of them!

Williams, you know liberals to not “get” sarcasm ;)
They have never understood DJT’s humor and I am sure tweeting an extremely offensive nickname for a ranking member of the democrat party is an impeachable offense...or something.

The Democrat response to losing the election should be a wake up call for our nation. Not happy with losing they “colluded” to create a fake scandal so that they could tie the hands of the incoming President.

Of course the main stream media were more then happy to help.

The Mueller investigation gives Kangaroo Courts a bad name, it is more a slow moving Coup d’tat.

Trump is correct, of course. I watched Fox News this morning since Limbaugh was on it, and someone winging in from Mars would never know, based on the panel discussion (and the entire show) of the latest indictments, that the Steele dossier is a hoax, was paid for by the democrats, that Steele colluded with the Russians, and that Obama pushed it all, that Comey and Rosenstein and others lied to the FISA court to get the warrants, and that is just a little of it.

The focus of the Post reporter was that collusion and obstruction awaits Trump in the future.

Running out the clock until November.

It focused on a true fact.

Obama kissed Russian ass for 8 years, and I want to know if he got a piece of Uranium One.

If the Clinton Fund makes him a board member, follow the cash.

I want to know where Trump said "'They are laughing their asses off in Moscow'" - since CNN put it in quotes and attributed it to Trump they should provide a source.

Or is this like shithole countries which Trump didn't say, but everyone around the world was already thinking?

Probably all countries try to promote their own interests in foreign elections. I'm sure every major country in the world has teams dedicated to American Elections.
But Obama was the first one to openly meddle in the elections of other countries.

Actually, we’re laughing them off here. This is proof Mueller’s “investigation” is just a way to spend money foolishly.

I’m surprised that Bob Knob hasn’t indicted Putin.

I believe that the dems and their media lapdogs have knowingly, and enthusiastically colluded with the Russians to disrupt, and cast doubt on the election process, and in the long run to destroy the country.

He did say ‘laughing their asses off’.

I read his tweets on my phone.

Throughout history, what the enemy Left accuses others of is precisely what they're up to - usually with the active, cloaking complicity of their enemedia fellow travellers.

Well good, so CNN has been suckered in again to broadcasting Trump's counter-leftist propoganda.

They don't understand that the people they are targeting speak a lot more like Trump than they do the pink hat bearing crowd on their side.

Succinct statements of the Truth get through. What folks don't understand is that our brains are wired for common sense - it is an evolution/survival of the fittest sort of thing. You may be able to distort reality through propaganda and reprogram folks up to point, but there is only so much counter reality distortion the human brain can handle before you go insane - unless you take psychotropic drugs.
