Pompeo Defends Trump After Lavrov Meeting | Talking Points Memo

Pompeo “believes” trump told Lavrov that Russia should not be screwing around with our elections?
Belief is not proof.
I do not trust trump or anyone associated with him.

That would require inspecting Lavrov’s butt for orange concealer, not sure anyone is willing to go that far.

“I never talk about what the President says in those private settings," because the one unwavering truth is that what I heard him say has no relationship to what he will claim he said.

trump meets with the Russian Foreign Minister in the Oval Office. This should be seen as a “fuck you” by us to our ally (Ukraine) that is fighting Russia on our behalf. Great optics there donald.

And Zelensky waits for his meeting.

“Hey, no more hacking our elections to try to help me win!” is something I can totally see Trump saying never.

Yeah, but this was a misstep:

Although Lavrov confirmed that election meddling was discussed, his account appeared to indicate that he brought up the issue himself.

Because Trump is too effing stupid and cowardly to do it himself. And don’t forget the last meeting where he and Putin were publically joking about interference.

Both Trump and Pompeo are Russian stooges.

is that feces on his chin?

“Lavrov’s statement is not accurately a reflection of my recollection”

Sounds more like twister than ballet

Lavrov’s response: But, Donald, if we don’t hack the election, you won’t win!

Without even addressing the content of the readout or the actual discussion…

The current administration has broken our trust in the reported readout summaries of private discussions involving POTUS. It is impossible to accept any summary at face value, and because of the reckless relationship with truth the administration has adopted, we are now in the truly wretched position of potentially trusting the readouts of foreign interests with adversarial roles (read, “Russia”) far more readily than those of our own leadership.

Nothin’ to see folks, move along. It’s just Agent Orange’s annual performance review.

Trump warned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov against election meddling… "[I]t happened in every meeting I was in…”

Notes? Recordings? Didn’t think so. LIARS.

Just more lies and fuckery.

This is not muddy politics as usual, this is corruption running amuck.

“With respect to the discussion of Russian meddling, it happened in every meeting I was in,” Pompeo told reporters.

I’m sure that statement is absolutely true.
