Trump administration officials seek to downplay intelligence suggesting that Russia is once again trying to interfere in the election.

in a Senate trial, his backers suggested that Ukraine — not Russia — interfered with the 2016 campaign.National security advisor Robert C. O’Brien, in an interview aired Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” said he was not aware of any effort by Russia to try to bolster Trump’s 2020 prospects, as the U.S. intelligence community concluded Moscow sought to do in 2016.

Trump’s campaign aides have said they believe he would fare well in a matchup with Sanders, and the president Sunday congratulated the Vermont senator for his “great win” in Saturday’s Nevada caucuses.He also suggested anew that Democratic Party leaders might seek to deprive him of the nomination. “I think we all worry about this administration controlling massive amounts of intelligence, massive amounts of classified information, and leaking it out to the press when it advantages them,” Sen. Christopher S. Murphy said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“Did the president have information from [the director’s office] that he was disturbed about, in terms of what the House had been told?” host Chris Wallace asked.Pence’s chief of staff also depicted Maguire’s departure as in line with the scheduled end of his tenure by March 12, since he was serving in an acting capacity. “It’s not firing,” he said.

“They ought to investigate Adam Schiff for leaking that intelligence,” Trump said in brief remarks before leaving for India. He did not provide any evidence for holding Schiff responsible. A number of lawmakers, both Republican and Democratic, were present for the briefing.

Meanwhile Dems are electing a communist. Seems a mute point if you ask me...

Go to the 🎪 with the other 🤡 The FBI informed Bernie Sanders about Russia and never told Pres. Trump he heard it through the media & Adam Schiff what does that tell you piece of ...no wonder Pres. Trump goes after you if 1 day you start telling the truth he’ll acknowledge you!

SWhitlow0 At what point do you all wake up and realize you’re fuel for a large propaganda machine? Mother literally spent tens of millions of dollars and 2 1/2 years investigating and found no collusion. Anyone who’s buying into Russia backing trump should seek professional help.

Go. Away.

Two things on Russia; 1. Why do you not discuss the cheating on the debates and rigging the Dem. election found on the DNC and John Podesta’s Email’s? And 2. Russia is now behind Bernie Sanders and we don’t hear a word about that one do we?

SusanSolomon And because they plan to do it again.

SusanSolomon Trump is a puppet of Russia.

BS BS BS.........

U mean...Anti Trump officials seek once again to create false narratives about Russian election interference. There...fixed it for you. Pathetic, desperate hacks. Report the goddamn facts for a change.

Can someone please post a link to a site, story or post by Russians that is clearly interference? Lots of newspaper stories about Russian interference but I haven’t seen an example of one. They must be out there somewhere.
