WH: Sounds like Putin got his copy of talking points--certainly sounds like what Trump team says

[kpete]

President Obama’s spokesman needled Russian President Vladimir Putin and President-elect Donald Trump Tuesday, saying Mr. Putin was using the new administration’s “talking points” to accuse the Obama team of undermining Mr. Trump.

“It sounds like he got his copy of the talking points,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “It certainly sounds a lot like what the incoming administration’s team is saying.”

Mr. Putin said the Obama administration was trying to undermine the legitimacy of Mr. Trump’s election by spreading falsehoods about Russia helping him by hacking Democratic records.

“People who order such fakes against the U.S. president-elect, fabricate them and use them in political struggle are worse than prostitutes,” Mr. Putin said.

1. The NSA has intercepted and recorded this phone conversation

between Putin and Trump not too long ago:

PUTIN: Good afternoon, comrade, and congratulations. Soon you will be president of United States. I know we will be good friends now. Russia appreciates relationship with Trump organization.

TRUMP: I won bigly. I will be the best president because I have a really good brain.

PUTIN: Yes, of course, comrade. And I am sorry about leaked dossier. Hahaha, "leaked." But such things happen, do they not?

TRUMP: That thing didn't happen. Not exactly.

PUTIN: Oh, we do have tape of that thing, comrade, which we will of course protect. You are not to worry. You must also not worry about other thing, with goat and boy. I will protect tape of this thing also. Goat is fine, back at petting zoo. Boy is not so fine but he got new Nintendo game and sees shrink every week. Boy no longer dreams about fat orange man so he gets better. It is good, is it not, that you have part like your hands, not so big? But you pay for shrink, and for Nintendo game. And also for chandelier, vacuum cleaner and so much mayonnaise. We just add to loan from Comrade Rybolovlev. But it was fun, no? And I must thank you for allowing me to visit with your lovely wife while you played with goat and boy and mayonnaise and vacuum cleaner and chandelier.

TRUMP: It was Miracle Whip. I shouldn't be charged for real mayonnaise.

PUTIN: You must talk to Comrade Rybolovlev who holds note. I do not handle such details. But I am wondering when you plan to withdraw United States from NATO. Note comes due soon, so.... But of course you are very smart, wise man. Russia is happy you are president and you will take care of such little things.

TRUMP: Hey, no problem. No problem at all. I have lots of money. Billions and billions.

PUTIN: Excellent, comrade. Next time you visit we have special treat for you. Russia has best rubber goods. Also, do you like squirrels?
