President Donald Trump did raise the subject of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election during his one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday but Putin still steadfastly denied any role in hacking either the DNC or former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
After the meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters that Trump had told Putin he believed that some circles in the US are exaggerating the topic of Russian cyber meddling, according to Guardian reporter Alec Luhn.

The whole mess is a curve ball to take our eyes of the possibility that the hacking of voter machines is an inside job.

17 US Intelligence agencies say that our elections was hacked, and 39 states had a "activity" from a foreign source, and this spineless piece of sh*t says :
After the meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters that Trump had told Putin he believed that some circles in the US are exaggerating the topic of Russian cyber meddling, according to Guardian reporter Alec Luhn.
He cannot and will not admit to his pathological self worth of sh*t, that he lost the f***ing popular vote, he does not and will not how to win anything FAIRLY, I say it again he has no concept on how to win anything FAIRLY.
He is making NO attempt to hold the ass**** accountable, zilch, nada, zero
What a traitor to this country...............
