Top Kremlin officials are scoffing at the idea that President Donald Trump is secretly working as a Russian agent, dismissing the notion as “nonsense” and blasting U.S. journalists for their attention to the issue.

“That’s stupid,” said Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Bloomberg News. “How can the president of the United States be an agent of another country? Just think about that.”

The White House was hit with a pair of bombshell reports over the weekend that involve Trump and Putin, including one from the New York Times that revealed the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump in 2017 over whether he was wittingly or unwittingly working on Russia’s behalf.

Another report, from the Washington Post, revealed that Trump has sought to conceal the details of his meetings with Putin from members of his administration, possibly in an effort to avoid leaks.

1. Does anyone think they'd come right out and confirm it?

Of COURSE they're going to deny it by being dismissive.

[politicaljunkie41910]

36. So are they saying Trump was too stupid to work for the Kremlin. If so, I buy it. But then they

could always use a useful idiot who works for free.

[Anon-C]

2. Stupid is as stupid does!

[Turbineguy]

3. It's official then.

We have a foreign agent in the oval office.

[rurallib]

4. If you can't trust a TOP KREMLIN OFFICIAL, then who can you trust?

[Perseus]

5. Yes, just think about that...its called treason

and the orange buffoon has done everything in his power to prove his loyalty to Putin.

[0rganism]

6. yeah, just think about that

why that's just nuts, right? isn't it? right? right?
what would the implications of such a situation be?
i agree with the Kremlin flak, maybe we should all just think about that for a while.

[gordianot]

7. This should reassure the Republican-Russian base.

If it is ridiculous in the age of Trump it is probably true.

[mikeysnot]

8. Not an agent, pawn

a pawn who actually believes he is a player all the while being played.

[Toorich]

9. Technically correct...

... he's not really a Russian agent, he's more a Russian stooge.

[Kablooie]

10. If Trump was truly not a agent would they bother to say anything?

they'd just laugh at the stupid Americans creating problems for themselves.

[shanny]

11. Of COURSE he couldn't be an agent.

He's too stupid to be an agent.

An asset? Absolutely. A half-witted/ing one.

[PJMcK]

12. Oh, okay then

I feel much better now.

I always believe the Kremlin since they’re always so honest and forthright.

Just as is Trump.

[turbinetree]

13. Hey Russia hows that free and independent news sources going on in your country, lately

so far your head asshole from the FSB leading the country that has visions of recreating his communist Russia in his wet dreams, has killed how many people that disagreed with him or exposed his bull shit..................if you think it is "Nonsense", why don't you give the transcripts of the behind close door meeting that happened in Helsinki, and then we can ask the white house translator if that is what transpired, because asshole do you remember your fucking leader stating at the podium that he helped elect the orange hair traitor when asked that question by an American Journalist ....... ...........just for shits and giggles....................he is fucking Russian asset and you are are blackmailing him as we now speak....................it doesn't take a rocket scientists to figure this out..............sorry rocket scientists no offense.........................so Russia go fuck your self.....................our media is doing its job....................your model sucks its gets you killed in your country................................

[oldsoftie]

14. Well then, I guess that settles it. Of course, trump is too stupid to be an actual agent.

Just a pawn

[procon]

15. Totally believable... if you're Trump, who will side

with the Russians over his own country.

[ewagner]

16. Stupidity is.....

believing the Kremlin's protestations....

[Merlot]

17. True, because it hasn't been a "secret" to anyone who's paying attention.

Top Kremlin officials are scoffing at the idea that President Donald Trump is secretly working as a Russian agent

[dalton99a]

18. The Minister President of Norway worked for Hitler? Impossible

[aggiesal]

19. This remindes me of a Sports Team Owner ...

setting up a press conference and saying,
"I support our coach and expect him to lead our team for the foreseeable future!!!"

Then the very next day fires the coach.

Of course IQ45 is a Russian agent, except IQ45 is too stupid to know it.
If he's not an agent, then he's being handled as a supreme asset!

Either way, he's working for Russia.

[truthisfreedom]

20. Well I'm convinced. If someone from the Kremlin

Tells me I’m stupid, I’m obviously stupid.

[The Liberal Lion]

21. How could the president of the united states be an agent of a foreign country

Easy, if prior to the election this person owed Russian oligarchs billions, this person was addicted to debt (or the king of debt as this person puts it), and this person's ego was easily inflated by persons interested in using his influence to undermine America. Yep, it's easy.

[socalsun]

22. Trump's behavior indicates

he's absolutely guilty. He's as transparent as a child. And there are many other Repubs that are showing the same signs of obstruction.

[Javaman]

23. and that is why the orange asshole is the prefect asset...

because he's so fucking stupid.

[duforsure]

24. Coming from the russian leader

Who has murdered people, even his own, and stolen billions from the russian people and their government, and is a terrorist. Sounds like trump, not me, must be fake news, yeah right.

[Honeycombe8]

25. Oh, well...that settles that! (sarcasm) nt

[AlexSFCA]

26. they basically just confirmed it

[Afromania]

28. The opposite of love is apathy. Somebody is denying their involvement a little bit too hard.

[calimary]

27. Uh-huh. Like we should take THEIR word for it...

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Tired of talk. Time for action. Traitor in the WH, our patriots need to do something.

[dlk]

30. If Trump Were a Russian Agent, Would the Russians Publicly Confirm the Fact?

[duforsure]

31. After at least 101 contacts , and 20-30 meeting all undisclosed and hidden

And trump lied about his son's meeting which is a cover up, and probably told everyone not to list any meetings or anything when filing out their national security forms, and destruction of evidence with his taking the note away from his interpreter and threatening him to not tell anyone what was said, no I don't believe putin's lame excuse and denial. trumps an agent along with probably 2 others in the White house, and at least 2-3 more in this administration and still working for them. Putin's propaganda is a joke.

[Butterflylady]

32. Well, if they find evidence of him being

an agent or an asset, I wonder if orange face has ever thought what happens to those who have been outed. That alone should keep him up nights. Remember, Putin is former KGB.

[RobinA]

34. What He Really Means

is that it's stupid to think the Russians would have such an idiot as their agent.

[matt819]

35. Well, okay then

Trump denies it.

Russia says it's stupid.

Well, I'm satisfied. Close down the investigation.

I can't believe we're actually having a discussion about whether the American president is a Russian agent.

The RW got all annoyed when President Obama had dijon mustard with his hot dog. But their president is a spy for
Russia and it's . . . . . crickets.

We are most definitely living in Bizarro World.

[LanternWaste]

37. If the Kremlin said it, the GOPipo believe it.

It's that simple, because they're that simple. An entire voting base of Jerry Springer guests can't be wrong...

[we can do it]

38. Mistranslated...Kremlin says "Trump could be a stupid Russian agent."

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

39. What a half ass denial. Clearly Russia is not sending out their best. Although I'm

sure some of them are fine people......
