Trump says China could have hacked Democratic emails

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said China may have hacked the emails of Democratic officials to meddle with the 2016 presidential election, countering the view of U.S. intelligence officials who have said Moscow orchestrated the hacks.

In an interview transcript published on Sunday, Trump gave no evidence backing his allegation, first made on the eve of the Nov. 8 presidential election, that China could have hacked the emails of his rivals.

"If you don't catch a hacker, okay, in the act, it's very hard to say who did the hacking," the president said in an interview with CBS "Face the Nation." "(It) could have been China, could have been a lot of different groups."


Using HIS logic(if HE has any)...It could have been him that hacked the election...

during Congressional hearings' testimony that even the USA has the ability to hack someone and leave traces that point to another country, HIS logic is pretty solid on this one. If WE have that ability, it's LOGICAL that OTHER countries have it also. The only 'proof' so far is that the hacking had the 'footprints' of Russia....doesn't mean that THEY are the ones who left them.

Anyone/any country COULD have "done it"?...

DON'T name anyone/any country?

DUH!!!!!

"logic" SHOULD dictate THAT unless/until there is some "evidence"...

don't be throwing names or countries around unless/until there is some "evidence"

Just throw it out there and see what sticks?

Doesn't that also hold true for the 'intelligence agencies' that named Russia in the first place, even KNOWING that countries, including our own, can falsify that 'evidence'? The liberals and Dems (oxymoron) have been pounding the "Russian" crap for months without REAL evidence except the 'word' of those agencies and they still don't have the actual PROOF.

That the general public knew/know of?

OR POTUS wants to talk bout?...

Perhaps he's using the "rattling keys" defense (look over there)...Look at CHINA!!!!! not at Putin....

I guess the POTUS shouldn't be told anything, (HE brought up CHINA!!!! as a suspect, but NO evidence included)

Just TheRUMP building a fire under someone/some country he wants to pressure....

One difference between Obama and TheRUMP

I understand I said there were 57 states today.

Talking with reporters at a later campaign stop, Senator Obama expressed concern that he’d recently misstated both the number of potential victims of a recent cyclone in Burma and the number of states he’d visited, saying: “I hope I said 100 thousand people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It’s a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh …”

Obama admits when/if he makes a misleading statement/error...TheRUMP doesn't talk about his misleading statements/errors...HE "doubles-down"

RE: Iran deal

The Trump administration just quietly admitted that the Iran deal is working

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan that “certifies” Iran is complying with the terms of the deal, including the terms that place strict limits on its ability to develop a nuclear weapon. The deal, Tillerson said, was working.

the clear upshot of this letter is that the Iran deal is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

But Iran has abided by the terms, as both the International Atomic Energy Agency and now the Trump administration have certified.

Many parts of the Iran deal
May 2, 2017 3:19PM PDT

were never made public, even to Congressional members....it was never allowed to come to a vote to be ratified by Congress because BO refused to call it a 'treaty' which it actually IS because other countries were involved in it.....money paid in cash (and he lied about the reasons for that), sanctions removed, not all of the hostages were released, terrorists were released, it was done in secret for two years before it happened.....and Iran immediately took three new US hostages, fired off missiles they weren't supposed to do, held our sailors at gunpoint publicly, has continued to charge at our ships in neutral waters, and are allowed to inspect THEMSELVES and declare that they are living up to the deal.

We aren't allowed into the country and neither is the IAE to inspect anything.

Tillerson says publicly the deal is 'working'.....but it's obvious to anybody with a brain that it isn't and I suspect that there are things going on in the background and behind the scenes to stop the deal, even if it's only the USA that pulls out of it.

As for more BO examples.....'a video caused Benghazi', the IRS didn't target Conservatives, and 'there isn't a smidgen of wrong doing on the part of hilLIARy'.

Is that Toni H speak for LIED?

The hireling, of the guy that is going to "drain the swamp", is LYING to the public?

AND TheRUMP didn't fire him?

RE:it's obvious to anybody with a brain that it isn't

By extension...that means the POTUS is lying to Americans...or lying to "anybody with a brain".

So, do you, as a person with a brain, like being lied to by POTUS?

You're the one that said YOU don't believe Tillerson was telling the truth (he's lying).

So, has this changed your feelings on TheRUMP, "draining the swamp"...replacing someone you consider a liar with yet another person you consider to be a liar?

Nope, you didn't say that but
May 3, 2017 1:37PM PDT

you never complained or criticized him for it like you do when you believe Trump or his advisors/dept heads have....I would say that's a 'NO brainer' for you... Whenever you probably believe BO wasn't as good a presidential leader as HE believed he was, you just say nothing, which is the same as approval in my opinion.

I believe Tillerson was being 'diplomatic' in his choice of words since there is NO way to actually CONFIRM/PROVE that Iran is complying....especially in the face of all of the transgressions they've continued to apply, knowing that the UN won't step in and stop them since they (the UN) have a different set of standards that apply to 'transgressions'.
