Remember Trump doesn’t view it as interference, he views it as help, so maybe the press should rephrase the question.

The fact that this is a remotely conceivable topic should make us all wretch.

“They continue to try to influence, as everyone does” – Mark Meadows dodges a question about whether Trump brought up election interference during the call he just had with Vladimir Putin (it appears he didn’t and Meadow’s comments suggest he’s open to some help)

It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to wear a mask and is breathing in the same vile air tRump exhales

Where was the next question? OK, well then did he ask Poots about putting bounties on American soldiers’ heads?

He obviously didn’t bring it up. Why would he? It’s a major plank of his electoral strategy to cheat to win. Forget about actually appealing to the voters. That’s old school.

Was Meadows asked whether Trump brought up the Russian bounties at all?

We all believe Trump Inc follow legislative actions.
McConnell makes sure they do.

Here is what the Kremlin says was discussed during today’s phone call between Trump and Putin.

Not a word about Russian bounties on our soldiers’ heads.

Not a word about Russia’s hacking of our coronavirus vaccine research.

" Meadows Dodges On Whether Trump Brought Up Election Interference In Call With Putin"

Surprising who ?

Meadows: “…there’s a big difference between foreign interference and foreign influence.”

Yes, the foreign interference bashes Joe Biden and supports Trump while the foreign influence advocates for Trump and trashes Joe Biden.

Maybe Trump had advice for Putin on how to handle the unrest in Russia’s far east? It’s very nice to see Putin has problems of his own, and while he tries at all times to project strength, he has significant weaknesses domestically. I can only hope it keeps him occupied for the next 100 days.

The ONLY way that Trump brought it up would have been to ask for double the amount to be delivered twice as fast.

So, yes then. The tRump is begging for help again.

“I need you to do me a favour” comes to mind.

Sounds like a double edged sword to me. Should Trump bring up election interference with Putin? Of course. Should Trump bring up election interference with Putin? Absolutely not.
