Putin is being a troll.

Remember, one goal of espionage is to sow chaos. Russia supported Clinton and Russia supported Trump. Russia also released damaging info on both.

He just loves it that as a result, the Dems in particular are using this narrative to disrupt US politics.

He’s just adding more fuel to the fire. He wanted no such outcome.

Yeah he did. Trump is a far more stable leader. Take him at his word.

I find that statement kind of odd, since Hillary and Obama showed such fealty to Putin almost from Day One of the Reign of Darkness — The laughable “reset” button Hillary presented to the Russian FM in 2009, the sudden withdrawal of defensive missile systems from Poland and the Czech Republic in 2009, The notorious Uranium One deal in 2010, and that disastrous New START treaty in 2010, which guaranteed the Russians a 10-1 advantage in theater mid-range ballistic missiles.

Putin told a pure lie. Hillary would have been Putin’s bitch.

Russia is not our friend. Please keep that in mind, Mr. President.

I guarantee you that if the democrats get back in power they will once again give away half of the world to Russia. Hillary came up with this anti-Russian business purely as a campaign tactic against trump. Because the democrats were working on the Russia collusion cover story.

At a press briefing, Putin was asked whether he would be willing to cooperate with the Mueller investigation and a request for extradition of the 12 intelligence agents Mueller accused of infiltrating and manipulation of the US US election process.

Putin declared that his government would be willing to allow Mueller investigators access to the 12 Russians
in exchange for American cooperation in bringing to justice Clinton associates, including Mueller cohorts
involved in illegal business transactions that allegedly took place in Russia, involving, according to Putin's
statement, over $400 million dollars that was taken out of the Russia illegally.

You would think after Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States’ Uranium to Russia he’d want more from her.
