Putin denies 2016 election interference
by Steven Nelson
 | July 16, 2018 11:30 AM



Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly denied interfering in the 2016 U.S. election during a joint press conference in Finland with President Trump.

Putin, speaking first at the Monday event, said that Trump raised the issue of election interference, and that he told Trump that assessments of Russian responsibility were inaccurate.

"Once again, President Trump mentioned the issue of the so-called interference of Russia in the American elections and I had to reiterate things," Putin said in Russian at the two leaders' joint press conference. "I said several times including our personal contacts the Russian state has never interfered and is not going to interfere into internal American affairs including the election process."

"Any specific material, if such things arise, we are ready to analyze together," Putin continued. "For instance, we can analyze them through the joint working group on cybersecurity, the establishment of which we discussed during our previous contacts. And clearly the last time we restore our cooperation in the cultural area and humanitarian area."

U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in January 2017 that Russia's government was responsible for a campaign to influence the 2016 election to help Trump win. Last week, 12 Russian government officials were indicted for alleged involvement in the hacking and publication of Democratic emails.

Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

To reiterate, it wasn't necessary for Trump to call out Putin publicly. Could have criticized in the mtg, said he wasn't going to air discussion in public, and then talked at presser about commitment to thwart attacks on American national security w/out fingering Putin.

Oh please. Every country is going to attempt to influence or sway a national election to a favorable result to them. That's how the game is played. Lord knows the US does it all over the world, every time.

It doesn't seem Russia specifically was trying to promote Trump, from all the fake news sites, posts, etc, it appeared more like they were trying to create chaos and confusion as well as put in seeds of distrust into the system- which all seemed to work.

In addition, not all of those who took part were State actors. Many, many of the fake news sites out of Russia and Macedonia (the two biggest sources) were just in it for the clicks. There was an article back when this was going on that had two Macedonian teenagers pulling in $5K-$10K a month creating those fake news pages and promoting them virally.

Putin, a former KGB spy chief, has a pretty good poker face. BUT even he looks like he can't believe his luck, as Trump stands next to him, on foreign soil, and trashes his own intelligence agencies, and repeatedly praises Russia.

What you’re witnessing is the nauseating obsequiousness of a man less worried about US interests and more concerned with keeping the possibility open for a future Trump Tower Moscow.

That's it. That should be the final straw. It is for me.

I really had hoped that the President of the United States would publicly stand up to Putin and call him out on his actions (e.g., election meddling, Crimea, cyberattacks) especially in light of, just on Friday, the President’s own Director of National Intelligence said that our country's digital infrastructure "is literally under attack" and said that Russia is the "worst offender."  Coats went on to say that due to daily attacks by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, that “the warning lights are blinking red again” just like they were before 9/11.  It’s almost as though the President doesn’t recognize this (or worse yet, just doesn’t care about it).   

His comments about Putin (and his seeming unwillingness to accept the indictments against Russian actors and the conclusion of his own Intelligence community (and his own National Security Advisor)) remain quite odd to me especially given the mounting evidence against Russia.  Given Putin's desire to undermine confidence in US institutions, he's got to be thrilled with the way this press conference with Trump went.

Not so fondly recalling that it was Hillary Clinton, under the Obama administration, that made the Russia uranium deal.  If that ain't collusion with a foreign entity/enemy, I don't know what is.  None dare call it what it IS (not "is").... but I call it treason.
