Trump: Russian interference is ‘all a big Dem HOAX!’

By Philip Rucker June 22 at 10:45 AM

President Trump on Thursday called Russia's meddling in the 2016 election “all a big Dem HOAX” and accused former president Barack Obama and his administration of not doing enough last year to “stop” Russian interference.

In morning tweets, Trump opined on the Russia probe and sought to assert his innocence, even as special counsel Robert S. Mueller III expands the investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to look at possible obstruction of justice by the president.

Trump tweeted, “Why did Democratic National Committee turn down the DHS offer to protect against hacks (long prior to election). It's all a big Dem HOAX!”

The president appeared to be referring to Wednesday's congressional testimony by Jeh Johnson, Obama's former homeland security secretary, who said that after the Democratic National Committee's email servers were hacked, the DNC declined an offer by the Department of Homeland Security to help the party committee, which also had been in touch with the FBI, identify intruders and patch vulnerabilities.

1. Sure it is a big hoax

'That is a fact-plain and simple: Ex-DHS secretary says Putin directly ordered disruption of 2016 elections.

Yes, 17 intelligence agencies really did say Russia was behind hacking

2. Really??!!!

I just can't take this this Twilight Zone. I thought alternative facts was the lowest...

3. If a public official overtly and openly assists our enemy, is it treason?

Trump is overtly, openly and loudly assisting our enemy WHILE our enemy attacks us, this is treason.

12. That's pretty much the verbatim Constitutional defintion.

4. "Russian hacks are hoax!" "Dems didn't stop Russian hacks!"

So which is it: is there Russian hacking or not?

5. Not coincidentally, Rush Limbaugh also calls it a hoax.

[underpants]

6. Yeah all 17 intelligence agencies were in on it too

[malaise]

10. Precisely

and per his fugging tweet Dem Obama should have done more

[SHRED]

7. Yet he claims Obama didn't do enough

Dump wants it both ways.

[Mr. Ected]

8. Almost every single PERP claims that they didn't commit a crime

When Robert Mueller says this is a hoax, I'll believe it.

By the way, the court of public opinion carries no weight in our justice system. Nada.

[spanone]

9. but the REPUBLICAN house and the REPUBLICAN senate are holding hearings, don

i wonder why that is?????

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. ABout that, the vile Nunes says he is not recused.

He is clearly on the payroll from Russia, so watch him closely.

[WinkyDink]

11. So---Obama should have stopped those pesky IMAGINARY Russians?? My God, Trump's insane.

[procon]

14. Trump is laying the groundwork for his own defense.

Look at how his rabid fans will see this; If it's all a 'hoax' then not only should Trump not be investigated, but he shouldn't be charged with any crimes. He's always blamed the Dems and the media for publicizing his mistakes and daring to call out his unconstitutional and illegal deeds, but his voters will dismiss his questionable behavior. They will support him regardless, and that poses a challenge to our system of government because the GOP has boxed themselves in and now there is no way they can still adhere to their oath and do their job.
