So has the Treason been called off?

This morning he was defending it. I guess too many people weren’t buying it. So is he now like the kid who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar?

It would be pitiful if it weren’t hilarious. And of course all the people saying it was genius now have to explain how this, too, is genius.

This was a mistake, Trump should have just let it go. The so called intelligence community taped his phone conversations and released them to the public, planted spies in his campaign and administration, invented a collusion campaign and investigation, just to name a few. This puts blood in the water and is fodder for all these losers that want the world to burn because they lost an election.

Our national security agencies the FBI, CIA, and NSA have been saying there was mountains of evidence the Russians were trying to subvert our election process in 2016.

So far, they haven’t come up with bupkiss on the topic.

They supposedly have twelve folks who broke into the Democrat server, but never inspected the server themselves.

At this point after seeing the lack of evidence, and watching how the FBI has been documented to be absolutely corrupt, I agree with the president’s earlier statements.

I have no trust whatsoever with these three agencies.

I think Trump’s real mistake is recanting. No, he was right!

It was an underwhelming performance. I don’t think he believes half of what he said. I was SO hoping he was going to announce Rosenweasel was out after all he set this cluster bleep up with his little show Friday

I’ll still take Trump over another DC smooth talker taking us down the toilet.

I imagine you were thrilled when Obama kissed Castro’s ass.

Oh I hated Obama, too, believe me. I haven’t liked any of these people since Alan Simpson retired.

So he’s walking it back? Do NOT back down, Mr. President. If you do they will make sure you have to walk something back several times a day.

IGNORE them ... we do.

Don’t waist your time with losers like babble-on, his only goal is to get someone to respond. Some people just want to watch the world burn

Agreed. So far their evidence consists of: Russians have internet access.

All those who attacked him before listening to their president’s explanation deserve to be thrown out of the Republican party.

Well there you have it.

I stand corrected.

LOL

You are right though.

The problem is that this looked very weak. After the left has been literally foaming at the mouth, screaming "TREASON! BETRAYAL!" for hours straight and that this is a failure of historical proportions, for Trump (in a very subdued manner) to come out and essentially say "yeah you're right, I shouldn't have said that" looks terrible. It looks like a monumental cave and on top of shrieking and gibbering about treason the left will now roll this in as an admission of guilt. He should have let it lay. Regardless of the true facts, the optics of this is atrocious. I'm nobody, and I can see that the optics are atrocious. Whatever PR peofessional that dreamed this up should be firee.

And since Trump is so alpha, for him to recant like this looks even weaker than it would for a lesser man. After Rosenstein's stunt on Friday there was no easy path, but hindsight is 20/20 and in hindsight I wish Trump had cancelled the public portion of the Helsinki meeting.

I'm totally conjecturing on this point and hope I'm entirely wrong, but I'm morbidly considering the projected public-opinion backlash that made Trump's team move into damage control in such a rushed manner. Pray God this incident and the ensuing spin doesn't hand tge midterms to the dems.

He needs Sessions and Rosenstein. And all the other unprotected people within justice and the FBO. Otherwise he would have set them free. They are a diversion focal point. Sort of like a magician’s slight of hand.

Trump made a gaffe but how many felonies have the swamp creatures committed related to the Russian hoax?

So was it weakness that he capitulated.
