President Trump on Monday flatly denied that he worked for Russia, and he called FBI officials who launched a counterintelligence investigation to determine whether he did “known scoundrels” and “dirty cops.”

Trump’s comments to reporters as he left the White House came in response to reports that an FBI investigation that was opened after Trump fired then-Director James B. Comey in May 2017 included a component to determine whether the president was seeking to help Russia.

“I never worked for Russia,” Trump said as he prepared to leave for an event in New Orleans, adding: “Not only did I never work for Russia, I think it’s a disgrace that you even asked that question because it’s a whole big fat hoax. It’s just a hoax.”


During a television appearance Saturday night, after the counterintelligence component of the Trump investigation was first reported by the New York Times, Trump called a question whether he had ever worked for Russia “insulting” but did not directly answer it.

1. The are "known scoundrels" because, as planned...

...you put a target on their backs because they were loyal to our country and constitution (vs. you personally). You announced them as scoundrels and then pressured them into resignations (many times much earlier than planned). The one you couldn't force out, you fired the day before he became eligible for hits pension after 20 years of service.

So yeah, they're known as scoundrels by your hand (and your hand alone).

Now we better understand why you demonized them when it didn't matter so you could say this about them when it does matter.

He's such an asshat.

2. Treasonous trump has a lot of demons he's hiding

He is working for putin, and acts like he's doing drugs, and is so corrupt they'll have a long list on his criminal activities , and that's why he acting out , and so desperate, and running distractions away from russia and putin now routinely. He attacks law enforcement because he's a liar that is a serial criminal, who knows they are about to fully expose him for all to see.
