Hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computers and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s email during the 2016 presidential campaign “had nothing to do with us,” President Donald Trump told John Dickerson on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday.

“Had nothing to do with this, and everyone knows it,” the president added.

But that’s not what intelligence information has shown. The U.S. intelligence community has argued, both publicly and via anonymous leaks in the press, that Russia interfered in the election in an effort to help Trump win. But Trump refuses to accept that, too. “I’ll go along with Russia,” Trump told Dickerson immediately before speculating that the hacking also “could’ve been China, could’ve been a lot of different groups.”

WATCH: Serious Shade On Ivanka Trump's 'Feminism' From AM Joy

http://crooksandliars.com/2017/04/watch-serious-shade-ivanka-trumps-feminism

If you weren't born with a million dollar trust fund, then Ivanka Trump's "empowerment of women" looks like weak sauce.

And every woman on the AM Joy panel came to that same conclusion this morning.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: The irony is, the last 100 days under the Trump administration have taken women's rights backwards. You have the Gag Rule, defunding Planned Parenthood, and Trumpcare 2.0 that took away essential benefits for women like maternity care, infant care. This is the complete opposite of what we always think about, imagine if this was Chelsea Clinton, West Wing office, you know, making money off of the administration, you name it, it would be -- Republicans would have completely lost their mind.

Joy Reid and panel keeping it real - yay!
