Top Dem on Russia: Trump doesn't like people 'questioning his greatness'

The top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee says that President Trump feels threatened by the federal probe into his campaign's ties to Russia, given what he says is mounting evidence of collusion.

“The president feels threatened,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said in an interview. “It’s undermining the legitimacy of President Trump’s election if you say the Russians interfered."

"This president is a little sensitive, shall we say, when it comes to people questioning his greatness," Smith added in an interview for The Hill's Power Politics podcast airing Saturday.

The result, he said, is that Trump “has gone softer on Russia” and Moscow is not held to account.

Oh, it's true enough -- j ust not the BIG deal about Trump's "sensitivity," which is primarily due to his GUILT. Russia has stuff on him, and that's why Moscow is not held to account.

It's disappointing to see a Congressman not get it. It takes very little awareness of what's going on to see it all quite clearly. Yeah, yeah, we may not have "proof" yet, but believe me, people have gone to their deaths getting convicted on less circumstantial evidence than we all know about.

He is inadequate in every way. He is a film flam man on the verge of being exposed to his stalwarts. The con is coming to its inevitable end. There is no greatness in him.

I mean really, take off the kid gloves already. He could say something like, "tRump knows his presidency was delivered to him by Russia, and he is going to kick and scream like a two year old throwing a major tantrum in Walmart if anyone so much as mentions the investigation".
