Regarding the bolded text. With the levels of paranoia Trump displays this would be true regardless of what he actually did or didn't do making this a fan the fire presumption.

The bolded text is within an italicized excerpt from Axios, not me. That said, it is shop-worn tactic of Trump and his minions. Deny something occurred (communications with Russians, collusion, obstruction of justice ...), and when evidence shows that it did, then say "what's wrong with that. Whatabout Hillary!!!)

So what, I realized that the presumption I was shooting down wasn't yours. That being said, your argument remains circular. What about that.

Observing your Dear Leader's ridiculous, self-destructive behavior isn't circular logic, though watching Trump contradict himself every day is indeed a bit dizzying.

Our Dear Leader's antics are certainly making enough people dizzy, regardless of their political leanings.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin had taken a decision to hold off responding to new U.S. sanctions last year independently and had not been influenced by former U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn.

You know you're in deep shit when Putin comes to your defense.

Putin is playing us, fiendishly using Trump and our blue/red schism to his evil advantage. The hacking of our election might just have been the opening salvo in an Internet based conflict.

WASHINGTON — An email sent during the transition by President Trump’s former deputy national security adviser, K.T. McFarland, appears to contradict the testimony she gave to Congress over the summer about contacts between the Russian ambassador and Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn.

Ms. McFarland had told lawmakers that she did not discuss or know anything about interactions between Sergey I. Kislyak, who had been Moscow’s ambassador to the United States, and Mr. Flynn, according to Senate documents.

Yet another Trump administration staffer perjures herself about Russia. How many liars does that make in the Trump administration when it comes to Russia. My count is up to ten. Every single one of these motherfuckers belong in jail.

Meanwhile, Newsweek and researchers at the American Bridge just revealed that White House senior adviser and Trump son–in–law Jared Kushner has omitted yet another conflicting financial interest from his ethics filings.

Do these people ever not lie?

Good bet Jared will be the next to be indicted in this “fake news” “witch hunt”?

Sad that so many fools still believe everything Trump and his disgusting mouthpieces say.

You seldom fail to amaze me with your insight.

Seriously, I do agree with you on this. Putin is not and never was Trump's friend as much as he has a score to settle with the US, possibly because Russia now looks like a poor cousin to the US.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team says Paul Manafort and a Russian colleague were ghost-writing an English-language editorial about Manafort's work for Ukraine, and that colleague is "assessed to have ties to a Russian intelligence service," according to documents filed by the special counsel.

The government said in a brief that the ghost-written draft op-ed would constitute a violation of the court's order banning statements to the press. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson has already reprimanded Manafort's attorney, Kevin Downing, for talking to the media after Manafort appeared in court for his indictment. "This is a criminal trial, not a public relations campaign," she said in November.
