Katrina Pierson: Russia probe based upon an allegation from the losing team

Katrina Pierson on Sunday said the investigation into Russian election meddling is based only on an allegation from the "losing team."

During an interview on Fox News, Pierson, a former spokeswoman for President Trump's campaign, was asked why Trump calls the Russia probe a "fabricated story."

"It's a fabricated story because look at where its origins came from," Pierson said. "We are talking about the losing team — the [Democratic National Committee], Debbie Wasserman Shultz and the left — they lost the election."

She said that while the DNC claims its server was hacked and emails leaked to WikiLeaks, "We have not seen the server."

"There's been no evidence put forth that this actually happened," she said. "And yet this is a story and a narrative and an investigation based upon an allegation from the losing team."

Her comments come after news surfaced that special counsel Robert Mueller impaneled a grand jury as part of his probe into possible Trump campaign collusion with Russian election interference.

7. And it came when it looked like the Dems were going to win before the election

and it was not pushed because the dems did not want to be accused of trying to influence the election.

Typical Fox news attempt to twist reality.

13. Actually, it's more like all 17 agencies.

They are as follows: Air Force Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency, Energy Department, Homeland Security Department, State Department, Treasury Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marine Corps Intelligence, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, Navy Intelligence and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

All of them reported that there was Russian meddling in our elections. Along with a huge assortment of our foreign allies, who shared their concurring intelligence with us. (Which is why one should not insult or otherwise alienate our allies, you ignorant, orange-skinned shitgibbon.)

Best assessment, of course.


If not, then it's not adequate evidence and relevance has to be proven.

I'm sort of on this "I don't care what people suspect, suspicion isn't evidence and fear isn't fact" kick. If you don't cross those ts they look like ls.

That it's all about "losing the last election". We've lost elections before. Hell! I remember losing to the Moron Bush.

verbiage of the Right Wing Chattering class. Similar phrasing same bullet points. Someone at Fox Entertainment is scared shitless that the next knock on the door will be a Federal Marshall with a note requiring their undivided attention down at the Court House.

Same goes for every GOP Congress Person or Senator. Remember,there have been stories about people in the Murdoch Monkey Show making contacts with the Putin Circus.
