President Trump blasted "THE SWAMP" over a New York Times story that revealed American intelligence officials paid $100,000 in an attempt to retrieve stolen NSA cyberweapons from a Russian who also claimed to have "compromising material on President Trump."

Link to tweet

Key lines from the report: "Several American intelligence officials said they made clear that they did not want the Trump material from the Russian ... The United States intelligence officials said they cut off the deal because they were wary of being entangled in a Russian operation to create discord inside the American government."

1. the US was on the unstallment plan?????????

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. They paid the money first, but it turned out after examination to be unreliable stuff about tRump

But facts don't matter to RepubliCons, especially RepubliCons like tRump.

Read the whole story; it is interesting.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. The CIA actually protected tRump by protecting the country from probably manufactured disinformation

[watoos]

14. ...or this was a false flag operation

to discredit the FBI and the investigation.
Is James O'Keefe around?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. No. In the article they explain that they had been tracking that guy for a few years before. . . nt

4. Thats right - guess he didn't KNOW we just wanted our own docs that they stole...eom

[yallerdawg]

5. ...says pathological liar and least credible person on the planet!

He never ceases to stupefy, does he?

6. He should be proud of them; clearly they had read "The Art of the Deal"

and negotiated the Russians down from $10 million to $1 million.

7. You want to go to war with all the U.S. intelligence agencies, Donny?

You go right the f**k ahead.

8. Okay, Let's Assume for a Moment That They Are All Lies

It doesn't change the fact that he has lived his entire life as a vulgar, loudmouth idiot, full of hate and devoid of intelligence. On that alone, I can want him out of office in the most humiliating (for him) way possible.

But, I believe that he did underhanded and possibly illegal and treasonous actions with and for the Russians. His underlings have gone along and committed acts just as bad either under his direction or on their own.

16. I love it! Dump is getting scared imagining what evidence there is against him.

[mr_lebowski]

20. Most hilarious part of the whole story is it's all from 2017 yet he and the Judicial Watch guy ...

Are desperately trying to make it sound like it was all about 'pre-election dirt on Trump' ...uh, no, Donnie FuckStick. It was ON YOUR WATCH. LOL ...

[lindysalsagal]

21. If he thinks his tweets will hold off Mueller, great. It gives Mueller more time to get his evidence

together.

The one thing frump got right: "It's all coming out, now."
