Former FBI director McCabe explains that Trump believed Putin over US intel about NK missiles: "Intel officials [told Trump his position] was not consistent with any of the intel our govt possesses. To which POTUS replied, 'I don't care. I believe Putin.'"

if asked flat out, you either said this or you did not. Which is it?

If he dodges the question, he looks guilty as sin (nothing new, I know)

I he flat out denies it, it does not look good on his progress report for his Kremlin boss.

I already read that Graham, the orange buffoon's pet, is threatening to start an investigation on McCabe and Rosenstein in regards to the 25th amendment being discussed. The way repubs operate, I see them starting a huge misinformation and attack campaign to hurt the FBI and the investigation.

As I said, I hope that I am wrong.

Most of the electorate is not aware of the full body of Trump/Russia connections and the concern held by the National Security State.

Graham's witch hunt will bring this to the forefront.

39. "not consistent with any of the intel our government possesses."
Sun Feb 17, 2019, 10:46 PM
Feb 2019

For now, experts such as Wright assume North Korea's recent ICBM launched with a very lightweight dummy payload to give the missile alarming show of range. An actual warhead built by North Korea might weigh "several hundred kilograms," or more than 600 pounds.

"That's going to significantly reduce the distance," Wright said, likely enough to keep an armed missile payload from striking American cities.


Their source was David Wright, a physicist and missile expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists. He isn't the only rocket scientist that held this opinion.

And he knows NK was allowed to test their missile delivery system so much that they have now successfully tested and completed it for service, and has built more bombs , and has more newly found missile launching areas that were hidden, yet trump is lying and wants people to believe he's Kim's best friend now (probably all BS) , and its safer when its not, when he's a even more dangerous threat to this country and others, and helping putin too. Now we find out he's threaten Japan's leader into calling for him to get peace prize for making him an even worse threat. trumps promoting more propaganda and BS , and its the opposite of what he claims, again.

Nothing is too small or too petty for him to pick a fight over. But if Putin says something he acts like, if Putin says it, it must be true. Without question, he believes anything Putin says!!!
