The articles I read (reuters, wapo) said that the Russians could figure it out based on just the city because of their sophisticated analysis capabilities and because of their other sources of intel. Possibly most other listeners couldn’t figure it out, but for sure the Russians could.

Soooo…Trump’s lips move…more lies, more obfuscation. Even when he is not telling a direct lie, he is obfuscating.

I also like the use of never mentioned it three times. Reminds me of not a puppet also used three times. It’s like a magic incantation, say it three times, poof, the lie disappears

“Just so you understand, I never mentioned the word or the name Israel,” he said. “Never mentioned it, during that conversation.”
“I didn’t have to,” he added. “Oh, and sorry about that dead spy guy. He was a loser anyway. A real loser. If he were a winner he wouldn’t be dead.”

Nixon pointed out his wife wore a cloth coat and he was not going to give he dog back. Nobody said she wore a mink coat and nobody said anything about returning Checkers. Deny what was not charged and claim what was never in question. Nice to see republicans got their method standardized.

Welcome to the latest edition of ‘a continuing problem’.
Netanyahu, seemingly responding to shouted questions from reporters during the photo-op Monday, said: “The intelligence cooperation is terrific.”
Bibi again vouches for 45…perfectly normal. In fact, that’s where the press conference/‘meet-n-greet’ should end.
Trump, also seemingly noticing the questions, held out his hands to quiet the journalists and Israeli media wranglers in the room.
“And folks! And folks! Folks!” he yelled, waiting for silence.
ut-oh
“Just so you understand, I never mentioned the word or the name Israel,” he said. “Never mentioned it, during that conversation.”
Trump destroys that vouch, because he’s Trump.
“They were all saying I did,” he continued, motioning to reporters. “So you had another story wrong. Never mentioned the word Israel.”
Trump continues the destruction, by using an ‘old favorite’.
“Intelligence cooperation is terrific, and it’s never been better,” Netanyahu added, though it was difficult to hear over the renewed shouting from reporters and media wranglers.
Though Bibi again tries to vouch for Trump, he likely realizes that the reporters get to continue this story, because its Trump.
oh well
So endeth another exciting episode of ‘a continuing problem’.
Onto the next one

Flynn’s refusal to cooperate will also intensify scrutiny over Trump’s decision to hire him initially for the job and his decision to keep him on staff for 18 days after the President was warned by former acting Attorney General Sally Yates that Flynn may have been compromised by the Russians.

No one ever claimed Trump said “Israel”. Classic Trump BS.

But Nixon did say his Congressional opponent Helen Gahagan Douglas was a pinko down to her underwear which was sort of funny for a guy with no sense of humor. On the other hand she provoked him by coining Tricky Dick.

Reading that I couldn’t help but hear Myra Rudolph and Amy Poehler in “Bronx Beat” saying that. The only thing missing was “No big whoop.”
