Discussion: Spicer: Trump 'Was Joking' When He Asked Russia To Find Clinton Emails

Am I right in assuming that DJT is getting at least occasional intelligence briefings? If so would he not know about the intelligence that Putin himself ordered the hacking attempts? And that the point was to get DJT elected? Or is DJT completely dependent on Fox and Infowars for his information?

If you listed all the pieces of evidence Trump has been colluding with the Russians and still is, that supposed joke would be down in the high 30s or low 40s. So it really doesn’t much matter if he was joking or not.

“He was joking at the time. We all know that,” Spicer replied.

Am I the only one that thinks lying and misleading the American people should be a crime, no matter who in this administration is doing it?

OK, so Trump was aware of the news that Russians were suspected of hacking our election–and he responded with a joke. Is that your final answer, Sean?

I’ve actually always thought he was joking on that one…but the comments here are just too delicious!

He was joking when he announced his run for the Presidency. I don’t see him disavowing that.

Trump was “joking” throughout the entire campaign.
Unfortunately 62 million Americans didn’t “get it” and voted for him.

I think that was a plotline from the V reboot.

So, Russia, where’s the damned pee video? None of us want to really see it, but it really should be released.

You don’t need to even hack for that one, Putin.

Everyday Spiceboy remains in that job, he sounds more and more like his needy, ego-driven, insecure, juvenile behaving boss. tRump has this way of saying, “everybody knows” or “everyone’s saying” this or that, and asserting something rarely in evidence, based on blanket statements that pretty much end a conversation when being interviewed. Not once have I seen an interviewer tell tRump, “NO, everybody doesn’t believe that, or NO, there is proof that the opposite is true, and we’d like to know how you can assert saying that without providing any proof to back up your statements”. It never happens though, and its one of the easiest things to tackle in an interview, even as a figure of speech. Subterfuge and misdirection only works if you allow someone to get away with saying something without any challenge to those assertions.

Just my two cents. I’m soooo sick of the lies and the daily mess this country is in. It like we’re all being dragged through the mud along with these daily histrionics by this administration, and no one is doing a fucking thing about it…or if they are, its taking forever, and some really bad shit is gonna happen by the time someone takes the bull by the horns and puts a stop to it. Actually bad shit has already happened, and its just that so much more potentially is on its way.

Trump has no idea what a “joke” is. He is the most unfunny public figure we’ve seen in a very, very long time. Besides, that was a very stupid thing for anyone who aspires to the presidency to make a joke about.

I guess that is why Trump is still “aspiring” to be a President.

Sean is starting to look like a captive. Is anyone checking his eye movements for code?
