Trump denies working for Russia, calls past FBI leaders 'known scoundrels'

President Trump on Monday flatly denied that he worked for Russia, and he called FBI officials who launched a counterintelligence investigation to determine whether he did “known scoundrels” and “dirty cops.”

Trump’s comments to reporters as he left the White House came in response to reports that an FBI investigation that was opened after Trump fired then-Director James B. Comey in May 2017 included a component to determine whether the president was seeking to help Russia.
“I never worked for Russia,” Trump said as he prepared to leave for an event in New Orleans, adding: “I think it’s a disgrace that you even asked that question. … It’s a big fat hoax.”

During a television appearance Saturday night, after the counterintelligence component of the Trump investigation was first reported by the New York Times, Trump called a question whether he had ever worked for Russia “insulting” but did not directly answer it.

Lent him money when Trump got into financial troubles, funneled money to the NRA which in turn used it to coordinate attacks against Hillary and other Democrats, set up Russian backed troll centers to influence American voters on social media, stealthily backed candidates Jill Stein (and possibly Bernie) to siphon progressive votes from Hillary, hacked the DNC emails and offered up opposition information, entertained Trump's friends and family over the years, etc.).

Trump is now merely returning some favors to his longtime friends. Who wouldn't?

1. There is more to come
2. The worse is yet to come. (It will get much worse)....

.I have no information, but it just looks that way. As Watergate got "worse", no one imagined what was coming. Since Nixon was basically a crooked person, more and more came out..since he did more and more crooked things.
........Similarly, Trump is basically a crooked person and compulsive liar So, as the show gets louder and stronger, Trump will get louder and stronger since that is how he has always responded. (like attacking Warren).. I believe that he too will do more crooked things and worse, as the show gets louder.. (it's all a hunch)
