US President Trump publicly recognizes Russian President Putin as more credible than the US "intelligence" agencies

Igniting another furor among defenders of the national security state, the president stood next to Russia's Putin and recognized him as more credible than the US spy agencies on "Russian meddling" in the 2016 US election. In fact , no evidence exists that the Russian government manipulated the election. When asked whether he would publicly condemn Putin for Russia's interference, Trump instead criticized the Democratic National Committee, the FBI, and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers attacked Trump's statements. Ex-CIA head John Brennan topped them all: "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous."

At that July 16, 2018 press conference with President Putin, a reporter asked: "President Putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every U.S. intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did" who do you believe?"

President Trump replied, hinting at a FBI coverup of what actually occurred:

"You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server. Why haven't they taken the server? Why was the FBI told to leave the office of the Democratic National Committee?

" I've been wondering that. I've been asking that for months and months, and I've been tweeting it out and calling it out on social media. Where is the server? " And what is the server saying?"

"[President Putin] just said it's not Russia [that hacked the DNC web server, as US intelligence agencies claim] " I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be, but I really do want to see the server. Where are those servers? " What happened to Hillary Clinton's emails? Thirty-three thousand emails gone just gone."

The President condemned Obama's spying on his 2016 presidential campaign

The corporate media aligned with the Democratic Party have covered up this national security state operation (and here). The crime, concocted stories of Trump-Russia collusion to derail a presidential bid, recalls Nixon's Watergate.

"The Obama people did something that's never been done"They spied on a rival presidential campaign. Would it be OK if Trump did it next?" (August 29, 2018)

"You have a Fake Dossier, gathered by Steele, paid by the Clinton team to get information on Trump. The Dossier is Fake, nothing in it has been verified. It then filters into our American court system in order to spy on Barrack[sic] Obama and Hillary Clinton's political opponent." (September 1, 2018)
