It sure looks like Russia has something on Trump. Putin could have written Trump’s tweet again challenging the fact that Russia meddled in our 2016 election. This also means Trump won’t stop Putin from meddling in the 2018 election.
We've been called "fake news" for reporting, accurately, that Trump still doubts that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Hopefully this puts the issue to bed. Stunningly, Trump's rhetoric on this is closer to the Russian government position than the US government position. https://t.co/KgQ6hMe66K

Interesting worldview in which everyone else is lying, backstabbing and cheating us except one very specific country https://t.co/adgnOTJpLY

Seriously? Is potus really doing this again? Will sanders now echo by saying they are tougher on Russia than anyone? #truthabuse https://t.co/EWj7rRWDcx

Rubio is a spineless coward.
Interesting that in the midst of a tweetstorm about media bias and failure to report accurately etc, Rubio declines to call Trump out by name on this, even though he is pretty much the ONLY person regularly spreading this particular falsehood. https://t.co/VquUJPLV8J

Is @realDonaldTrump encouraging Russia to interfere in our elections again? https://t.co/sICHE5sUug

“Russia continues to say….” is not something we should ever hear from our Commander-in-Chief charged with America’s security. And if you don’t think it’s really weird I don’t know what to tell you but it is. https://t.co/EdJV7oS6br

And remember, in this tweet, the President of the United States if America is siding with Putin and is denying the findings of his own Intelligence Community. A shocking moment in American history. https://t.co/ig6emsk2Zx

Hillary isn’t being investigated in part because she isn’t saying Russia is telling the truth and the CIA, FBI, and every major intelligence agency is lying – they ALL say Russia meddled in our elections, you corrupt, Russian-owned, traitorous douchebag. https://t.co/cvKgkXqeiL

I’m not that worried about Russia election interference 2018. What more could Putin want? @POTUS repeats Putin’s lies & seeks out a summit with Russia, a country that just attacked America. Aside from sanctions relief, Trump’s America is doing exactly what Putin wants. pic.twitter.com/gAbSolIgvi

It is truly ominous that @POTUS would take the word of Vladimir Putin over the unanimous conclusion of his OWN Intel chiefs and SecState—even as they report that Russia is STILL meddling in our elections!
It only heightens suspicion about just what this is all about. https://t.co/u09Sr9YhtC— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) June 28, 2018
The President once again defending Russia’s innocence in electoral sabotage that *helped him get elected*, as he sets up a summit w Putin is the same as his “Russia, if you’re listening” moment. He’s telling them to keep going! He’s rooting them on.

Not to state the obvious, but …
… a key reason Trump thinks he can keep inviting Russia to sabotage our next election on the GOP's behalf is that people like @DevinNunes and @RepMarkMeadows are working to undermine the Russia probe, with the tacit support of @SpeakerRyan. https://t.co/7U9vxwX1tq

I know it makes no difference to Trump's base, and they believe that the intelligence community is a malicious conspiracy against the Donald, but every American intel agency agrees that Russia meddled in the elections. I just feel it's necessary to say that for the 5000th time.

Sad!
