Trump said he believes Ukraine interfered in 2016 election because 'Putin told me'
Washington - President Donald Trump once stated explicitly that he believes that it was Ukraine -- not Russia -- that meddled in the 2016 election because Russian President Vladimir Putin "told me," The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing a former senior White House official.
Multiple former officials told the Post that Trump's insistence that Ukraine attempted to stop him from winning the White House led many of his advisers to fear that the conspiracy was shaped by Putin himself.
The officials told the paper that Trump became more insistent about the conspiracy after his private meeting with Putin in July 2017 at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
News of Putin's potential role in shaping Trump's views on Ukraine comes just one day House of Representatives took the historic step to impeach him following an investigation into allegations he pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals while withholding US security assistance and a White House meeting.
Throughout the investigation, at least nine witnesses testified that claims of Ukrainian meddling were fabricated by the Russians or unsupported by the evidence.

There is no doubt that Putin is Trump's primary intelligence source.

If true, you'd think someone would impeach him for that.
But no one will. Weird.
Congress just did.
Asking Zelenskiy to publicly admit that Ukraine (not Russia) meddled in our 2016 elections is exactly what Putin desires.
Witnesses testified as such at the House hearings.
Try to keep up.
Pretty sure you are wrong.

The ultimate proof that the Dems know that their Russian Collusion claims are a hoax.

No doubt. Merry Impeachmas by the way (in a sad, somber way, of course).

The sad truth in all this is, it's more than believable he'd be conditioned for this.
Helsinki - private meetings in the oval office with Russian envoy's - private meetings with Putin minus US personnel - Russian Oligarch financing in his
businesses. Which part of that behavior says he would say anything or believe anything US Intelligence would tell him?
This your way of admitting that it's CNN Fake News - Trump's fault of course.

It’s definitely your way of avoiding facts, truth, and your inability to face them.
Just call it Fake News. Buy into the fantasy land right wing rags that teach it to you. Comfort food for the dumb-dumbs in America.

I much prefer the graphic novels, Corky.
Not that you're listening, of course.
Your communist brother Frank posted this yesterday. It's CNN/ WA PO garbage.
So which one of you is Chris Cuomo and who is Jake Tapper? We already have Brian Stelter (golfernot).
