And once again, Putin told him no, he had not.  In fact, he was, according to D.J., pretty miffed that he had to answer that question another time.  How many times does he have to tell Trump NO?  Geez, whaddaya want, an affidavit?<\/p>\n<p>Stop the Mueller investigation!  Why waste more time and money on a wild goose chase now that the President has asked Vlad if he and his fellow Russians played any part in the 2016 elections?  Putin says he didn\u2019t and that\u2019s plenty good enough for Donald and me.  After all, why would the man lie?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not like he was Papadoupolis or those women who accused Trump of groping them.  They certainly can\u2019t be believed.  Or FBI Director Comey whose motives are certainly suspect.  Or Mueller himself who apparently is on a vendetta of some kind against the entire Trump family and their circle of friends.  Okay, their circle of business acquaintances.  I mean, if you can\u2019t trust the veracity of a strongman like Putin, who can you trust?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you can\u2019t trust CNN.  Or the failing New York Times.  Or the Washington Post.  PBS is out.  So are the rest of those sorry alphabet television news sources.  And forget about the lamestream, drive-by media.  Other than Breitbart and Fox, they\u2019re all prevaricators and purveyors of attack innuendo.  Can\u2019t be trusted, certainly can\u2019t be believed.  Faux news.  All of it.  <\/p>\n<p>If Vlad says they weren\u2019t involved in disseminating negative stories about Clinton, that\u2019s good enough for me.  So what if the entire point of the Mueller investigation is to get to the truth?  The intelligence community, the FBI, the CIA, all a pack of liars.  If they truly wanted to find out the truth, all they had to do was ask Putin.  Yes or no, Vlad?  Yes or no.  <\/p>\n<p>Well, the answer, earth to Bob Mueller!, is no.  Simple as that.  Shut down the investigation and let\u2019s move on to something more substantial.  You know, like bringing back those coal jobs.  Getting some tax breaks for the Job Creators and real estate developers.   And getting that Trump Tower built in downtown Moscow.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President took the opportunity in Viet Nam to ask Putin once again if he\u2019d hacked into our elections a year ago.
