Detective Trump has cracked the case on Russian interference, and uh
Good news, guys! Everyone at the FBI, DOJ, NSA, DHS, and CIA was wrong -- there's no way Russia interfered with our elections, according to a very definitive source, Detective Donald Trump.
On Friday, Trump reported that he had asked Putin about Russian interference in the 2016 election and that Putin had denied all allegations. That was enough for hard-nosed Detective Trump to conclude his year-long investigation into Russian interference.
We're cool now!
SEE ALSO:These Twitter accounts are killing it in Trump's AmericaHere's the president's exhaustive analysis.
"He said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times. I just asked him again. He said he absolutely did not meddle in our election. He did not do what they are saying he did,” Trump said in a session with reporters aboard Air Force One.
According to the president, Putin's statements are backed up by "everybody." It's unclear if this "everybody" includes any American intelligence officials, but I did see some very convincing American eagle Twitter avatars who affirmed the president's groundbreaking report.
"Everybody knows there was no collusion,” Trump said. “I think it’s a shame that something like this can destroy a very important potential relationship between two countries that are very important countries Russia could really help us.”
I, for one, am convinced. He asked Putin and he denied it? Foolproof!
Not everyone on the internet quite agreed, including, uh, his own CIA, and, double uh, the Kremlin:
Trump certainly acts like a man scared to death that any moment Putin could release incriminating information about him https://t.co/re6YNvAWVv

It’s sad when you don’t know whether to trust the Kremlin or the White House on this. https://t.co/sq1hDd7ggL

POTUS embraces Putin yet again telling world he believes former KGB agent’s denial of attack on our election over our own Intel public servants, calling them “political hacks.” Disturbing and shamelessly unpatriotic, on Veterans Day no less.

In my years of reporting on Russia, I too have found that if you ask a former KGB agent an accusatory question about his actions, he will generally be straight with you. https://t.co/V3L6kAKEDn

I bet if we could get Putin and Obama to say the same thing and then ask Trump whose side he's on his head would explode.

Putin would not make Donald Trump wear lipstick and a miniskirt but damn, if he wanted too he could.
