tillerson said they had a 'lengthy' talk about russian meddling

[spanone]

Bwahahahahahaaaa

there was no one there to dispute tillerson's observation

[wcmagumba]

1. Something like...

thanks for the help, now help yourselves....

[Glimmer of Hope]

2. Yeah right.

[kentuck]

3. Wow! We can finally be relieved.

[spanone]

4. what else could they say....?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. "Next time you do it, be more careful and don't get noticed."

[spanone]

6. m$nbc said that russia pressed to have more people in the room...trump refused

one must wonder why

[kentuck]

12. Why didn't McMaster insist on being present?

Worthless piece of shit.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Maybe he did and Trump told him no.

He couldn't just barge into the meeting if he was told he couldn't attend.

[emulatorloo]

24. Then McMaster should resign if Trump told him no.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. I expect that eventually he will, or he'll be fired.

[emulatorloo]

29. I expect Tillerson may as well.

Leaks indicate he's not getting budget to hire personnel, gets undercut by The Boy Wonder (Kushner), and is tired of picking up the pieces after Trump makes a diplomatic blunder. Yeah he was dumb enough to take the job. Just like McMaster.

[exboyfil]

39. McMaster wasn't given much of a choice

I think we would have to resign his commission to leave now.

[emulatorloo]

40. If I were him, I'd get out. His once stellar rep is in shreds. It is only going to get

worse for him.

[Doodley]

34. You are right. Putin may well fire him!

[kentuck]

26. Absolutely!

He should resign. He should know more than anyone else, just how dangerous it is to leave Trump alone with the Russians?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Then maybe the Russians will leak what was really said.

Though we can't trust them either.

It's kind of sad when you even have to start wondering whether the Russians might be more trustworthy than your president.

[emulatorloo]

41. Or a US patriot will leak some details from the recording/documentation

[Hugin]

7. The open question is if the discussion was discouraging or encouraging future meddling.

My money is on encouraging more meddling.

Lord knows, the Republicans can't win a fair election... ever.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. It was actually a long litany of obsequious "thank yous".

I want independent verification because I don't trust Tillerson or anyone in herr drumpf's maladministration.

[spanone]

10. no way to verify...only 6 people in the room per trump's insistence.

they can say whatever they want

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Exactly.

Lavrov won't say anything to contradict and may the gods help the translators if they leaked. I consider this to be fake news.

[emulatorloo]

27. There's most likely a recoding.

A patriot who has access to that may fill us in.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Interesting that it was Trump and not Putin who insisted on only 6.

[global1]

9. Well That's Good Enough For Me....

If Putin says he/Russia didn't interfere in our election - than he/Russia didn't. (sarcasm)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Okay. Well, that settles it. nt

[spanone]

13. because our 'president' never lies....

[Thomas Hurt]

14. but not as lengthy as about lifting sanctions for the benefit of Exxon and Trump.

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. "Vlad, honey, the crooked MSM has been talking about Russia hacking

our elections."

"We didn't do it."

"Oh, okay. Now about those pesky sanctions..."

[spanone]

18. cnn heaping all kinds of praise on trump & tillerson....

[leftstreet]

21. For what?! Getting out of the room with their watches?

unbelievable

[emulatorloo]

28. Lol

That's perfect

[vlyons]

20. No consequences

assuming Tillerson complained about the meddling, what consequences did he hold out? Trump won't impose any consequences.

[unblock]

22. "now they actually *insist* i talk with you about election meddling! bwahaha!"

[spanone]

23. tillerson just said 'it's all about moving forward' so that's that.

[kentuck]

30. Why do I find Tillerson's comments so disgustingly nauseous?

We don't know shit.

[spanone]

33. what happened to the 'hoax'? what happened to the 'fake news'/'witch hunt'?

does anyone think trump had an epiphany?????

[NCTraveler]

31. I'm sure they did.

They talked about how successful it was over a glass of champagne.

[nolabear]

32. What have these people got against visuals? It's like the age of radio.

I'm tired of not seeing anyone. Body language speaks volumes. It's another method of controlling the message and it drives me bonkers.

[Doodley]

36. Did Putin's people have time in the meeting to remotely hack Trump's cellphone?

[.99center]

37. According to Rex, there will be no consequences from the prez, the WH wants to move forward.

Putin, Rex, and Trump want Americas intelligence community to show Putin proof of their attack.

[Skidmore]

38. There was likely a lengthy discussion

behind scenes beforehand to agree upon spin.
