In reply to Lionel A. The sad bit about Trump and his free news service Fox lying about what was on the recording is that the "usual suspects" here and around the country won't believe what the tape says but what Trump/Fox says it says.

The usual suspects here should appreciate the Think Progress take.

In reply to dean.

I’m not sure if anyone was claiming he admitted to interference, just that he wanted Trump to win, which is unchanged by the correct interpretation of his remarks.

Unless you know better than umpteen US intelligence agencies, Russian interference in the election is a matter of fact at this point. In this case, 2 + 2 = 4.

I only know this from the Washington Post story I linked above.
Putin did not say Yes I did. Yes I did.

“Fox News played it differently ”

I’m sure they did. I’ll wait until someone with integrity (not you, not Fox) to give details.

Nope. Seems that was the audio feed. Fox News played it differently so the question could be heard, but the Washington Post transcript had it same as the White House.

Your democracy is about to die.

Along with millions of Americans if Russia Ukraines the US. Sleepwalking to oblivion. Trump is America's Nero.

I hope that eveyone’s listening to Maddow at the moment, because she’s covering the Atlantic’s revelation that the White House is trying to expunge from the official record Putin’s admission that the Russians interfered in the election because they wanted Trump elected.

This is explicit evidence of official corruption – I do not understand how the US can tolerate such disinformation and treachery from the government.

In reply to SteveP. Remember that mikeN still believes the Nunes memo, even though all parts of it have been trashed, he still believes there was a conspiracy to make Trump's inauguration crowd appear smaller than it was, has defended the Charlotsville Nazi who chose to use his car as a weapon and attack a crowd of people, and on and on and on. He's like a conspiracy-theories-are-us store.

In reply to SteveP. Few could be as constitutionally stupid as MikeN and still post with the dedicated fervour and with the extensive and highly erroneous factoids as he does here. He's either a troll operating at the behest of right-wingers and/or Russians, or he knows that he's lying but is willing to do so in order to promulgate his ideology.
