John Bolton confronted PUTIN about election meddling – here's how Putin responded…
2018-07-02
[Right Scoop] John Bolton, the National Security Advisor to Trump, spoke about his meeting with Vladimir Putin and what he said when he was confronted with accusations of election meddling.

This is very interesting. Bolton says that Putin denies that the Russian government had anything to do with the meddling, but he makes it clear that Bolton believes this leaves open the possibility that private Russian agents might have meddled. And only the most naive person could believe that would happen without Putin’s involvement.

At least Bolton put Vladimir on notice about meddling in this upcoming election. But I wonder how much power he has to actually enforce that, or if its wishful thinking.

#8  I recall Obummer saying to the Russian president he would have more flexibilty after the election. Probably didn't have anything to do with election meddling (not). He was probably referring to Uranium 1. BTW, where was Mueller at that time?

#6  The Leftists have been shocked, shocked for centuries that the rabble have been unwilling to 'march to the barricades!' just because they have trotted out this year's fancy, sexy new slogan. Now it is a Madison Avenue product that passed all of their focus groups and they still don't understand why it doesn't sell. Hint: normal people are too busy living normal lives. They don't care about Russians, meddling or not...

#5  And only the most naive person could believe that would happen without Obama's Putin’s involvement.

#1  Stock Russian response. Essentially the same as response to Russian Private Military Company (PMC), Wagner Group incident in Syria.
