Discussion: Tillerson: Trump Talked Comey Firing With Russians To Prove He Wasn't 'Distracted'

1 Like

ā€œI think what the President was trying to convey to the Russians is, ā€˜Look, Iā€™m not going to be distracted by all these issues that are here at home, that affect us domestically, Iā€™m not going to let that distract from our efforts to see if we can engage with you, engage with Russia

Oops. Something something priorities.

So Tillerson is close enough to #45 to know his motivations and reasoning WRT firing Comey and ā€˜negotiatingā€™ with the Russians?

That will be useful as investigators work their way up the chain of co-conspirators.

Rek$ā€¦
A: As big an expert as you may be on conveying things to the Russians, nobody outside the bubble listens to you anyway.
B: Even Spicer is a more convincing propagandist than you.
C:As long as Trump follows orders the Russians couldnā€™t give a damn whether heā€™s distracted, and you know it.
D.So toddle along and go back to work on your unconvincing impersonation of a loyal American.

So much for the Russian claim Trump never mentioned the Comey firing.

And thanks for the point blank confirmation it occurred.

So much for that Fox talking point that it didnā€™t happen as well.

Tillerson has done nothing to indicate that he has the brains one would expect from an Exxon CEO. He radiates competent thug.

There isnā€™t one, - not one - semi intelligent toady in Rumpā€™s regime. None of them seem to have the ability to game out what a coherent lie would be for blatant treason. And yes, I realize that it amounts to ā€œdefending the indefensibleā€. But none of them have the capacity to even come close. So long as the grift continues and they appear to obey Russia, they pull out these lame ass ā€œrationales.ā€

Snark off

The Admin isnā€™t willing to pay as much as the private sector for a clever, soulless flack. So they do without.

Game that RT and DJT plays R:You remind me of a man . D What man? R Man of power. D What power? R Power of HooDoo . D HooDoo? R You do . D I do what? R Remind me of a man. and etc, etc etc

Good to know, Rex. Our election was just hacked by Russians and Trump still wants to communicate to the Russians that he will fire any American that gets in the way of his engagement with Russia. That really helps out his defense.

Iā€™m confused. Wouldnā€™t the way to prove you arenā€™t distracted by domestic ā€œnut jobsā€ to be to NOT talk about them?
