His advisors obviously asked him why he didn't just say "no" when Pirro asked him on her FoxNews show.
The reply he gave is what he should have given to Pirro, but since we all know Trump says whatever the next thing queued up in brain is, it's telling his initial reply to Pirro was a flat-out denial.

Nixon: I'm not a crook.
Clinton: I have not had sexual relations with (Lewinsky).
Trump: I never worked for Russia.

Turns out the denials were false and the accusations are true.

I mean, really he works for a criminal consortium of self-interested oligarchs and kleptocrats. They're doing about as much to advance the interests of the Russian people as they are for the American people--as in, except for the rich elite, not fucking much.

Exactly right. Russia is a state but it's also a mob organization with global tentacles. And the members of the organization/consortium are absolute leeches on their own people. This is what they were exporting to our shores with Trumpski pretending to be the navigator.

Donald Trump is a treason weasel who occasionally speaks the truth: His snake poem/lyrics during the campaign, for instance. My personal favorite is:

"My whole life I've been greedy, greedy, greedy."

Greed-head Extraordinaire!

INdividual 1 only works for Individual 1 and... if selling out/betraying his country helps him get what he wants, he's ok with that.
