‘I Have a Certified Letter!’: Trump Reveals to Lester Holt What Will Clear Him on Russia
mediaite.com ^ | 5/11/17 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 05/13/2017 11:29:49 AM PDT by ColdOne

There were quite a few memorable moments in NBC News’ one-on-one interview with President Donald Trump that aired tonight. He talked about how he was thinking about the Russia/Trump “made up story” that was on his mind when he fired FBI Director James Comey. He mentioned how good a person Michael Flynn is. He discussed how his “great” conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov could lead to international peace.

And he brought up how a certified letter he has should clear things up when it comes to his ties to Russia.

On Day One, every new CEO should request a resignation from every single executive in the organization

I think the CEO analogy is less than ideal when trying to understand how governments works. The Mafia is a better analogy IMO. There are various crime families that vie for control of the organization every four years and Donald Trump screwed them all and then left all their henchmen in a position to return the favor.

He said he was going to drain the swamp. he needs to get busy draining it because it ain't gonna drain itself.

Did you read the article? Are you suggesting that Trump made up the law firm? That it exists only in his mind?

To get to Holt’s audience, is my take on why he gave him the interview. Trump likely knew it would be bent, rude, twisted and edited to shreds by the network hacks but he accomplished being in front of his targeted audience unironically calling itself ‘the resistance’. He’s already using the fact that the interview was a media crap fest to widen the public’s realization that the overall MSM is not a fair institution. The only counter weight to the free media is to reduce more people’s faith in what is published. Truth is a powerful tool, but you have to reach the one’s you want to figure it out, and truth takes time to prove out.

Because at some point everyone needs to listen to and take advice.

When I see the letter and its contents I’ll be apologetic. Until that time I will remain very skeptical.

He tells me Donald Trump will normally not take advice.

He'll never amount to anything.

I agree completely with the statement you made. It is accurate and decisive. Take it one step further and charge hillary, Obama, etc.. now. Don’t give them time to regroup. There is more than enough evidence to convict all the Libs involved. Would also increase the employment level of the Federal Court system. I doubt the Libs could be attacking Trump from a defensice position. Either way it would cost them dearly.

What if Russia was aiding Hillary against Bernie, and the leaks helped Lil Debbie tank Hillary, and Barry's crew did the dirty work to mimic Russian hackers (or at least mimicked a 12 year old hacker that convinced Podesta to fall for the lame phishing scam), or hacked Podesta's IT guy's spellcheck to change "illegitimate" to "legitimate"? In any case, lacking any evidence, we need a special prosecutor because of the seriousness of the charges regardless of the fact that no evidence exists (whatever that may be).

When Barry scolded Pooty-Poot to "knock it off" as far as tampering with the elections, what is "it", what did Barry know about "it", and what was meant by "knock...off". As with all things Barry, you always need to perform Clintonesque parsing.

What....did.....Russia....DO?!?!?!?! No one can articulate that or even define "collusion".

We are way down into the rabbit hole....

Keeping the public focused on his message is part of Trump’s job. If he cedes the messaging to the MSM/Swamp they will destroy him. He has to counter them. Fortunately he can walk and chew gum. He doesn’t sleep much.

As for the mess, that is precisely the message the MSM/Democrats are putting out: that the Trump administration is a mess. How can you argue against Trump setting the record straight, when you yourself have bought the Leftist spin hook, line and sinker?

So you believe Trump is lying through his teeth. That’s your perogative, but just don’t call yourself a Trump supporter. Trump’s supporters give him the benefit of the doubt. Trump haters’ default mode is that he lies.

I am neither a supporter or a hater and if you believe there is no in between then you make common cause with the progs, antifas, and dems. I accept Pres. Trump as the far better of the choice I was presented with. What I find hard to fathom isthe full blow acceptance and adulation he receives here when his bona fides as a conservative are somewhat lacking.

You post: " They didn’t want Trump using the justice dept to go after Hillary over the email stuff and after Obama over...a number of other things so they went on the offensive immediately."

She was panicked after the Lauer thing when he didn't stick to the prearranged script; She knew it did her damage and backstage she exploded, remember?

She screamed at her staff:"If that f---ing bastard wins, we are all going to be hung from nooses..."

post and email this pic EVERYWHERE to remind people. Once she did indeed lose - they went into panic mode - she had relied on Comey for 20 yrs to see she skated from everything...then he got squishy - maybe he was panicked also as it looked like "HE" might win AND "SHE" was doing more than he thought he might be able to push, shove and kick under the rug.

And if SHE falls, they all fall with her.

They are making jackasses out of themselves and their true colors are starting to show even to their sycophants...-

Trump said he’s having a certified letter prepared that details the extremely limited financial dealings he’s had with Russia. You believe this is a whilesale, outright lie?

The main point of the Russian problem has never been that he made money from Russia. He did business there so he made money, helost money, just like Scotland and any other place he did business. The contention is that the Russian efforts in hacking the Dems was to have in Trump a POTUS grateful for their help. Finding any contacts they had with Trump people they believe will prove their point that Trump is a Muscovite Candidate. The letter produced by Pres. Trump’s lawyers does nothing to address this accusation.

Honestly, I think he makes it up as he goes. The I have a certified letter hints a bit of I have 172 names. A guy I know pretty well is one of his lawyers in the real estate division, and it is a small group. He tells me Donald Trump will normally not take advice.

Your lawyer friend ought to be fired for saying squat about his client. It is the 'law' business that has caused/created the swamp that needs cleaned out.

Disagree. He can use it to claim victory. Once he claims victory, people will believe him because they don’t believe the mainstream media.
