Washington (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed to justify the hacking of Democrats because the information dispersed was true, after denying that Russia had interfered in the US 2016 presidential election.
The US intelligence community has concluded otherwise, and just on Friday the Justice Department announced charges against 12 Russian nationals as part of the special counsel's probe into Russian meddling in the election.
"Russia as a state has never interfered with the internal affairs of the United States, let alone its elections," Putin told Fox News' Chris Wallace in an interview that aired Monday evening. Putin's remarks were being translated.
When pressed by Wallace about the hacking, Putin later went on to say: "Listen to me, please: The information that I am aware of, there is nothing false about it, every single grain of it is true. And the Democratic leadership admitted it."
When Wallace initially brought up last week's indictment, Putin began to chuckle and refused to touch the filings Wallace offered for him to look at.

"We didn't do the hacking, but it's ok that it happened because the information was true."

Chirs Wallace had a good response to this. Said something like "are bank robbers ok so long as the money is real and not counterfeit?

So he reaffirmed that he didnt do the hacking.
And indictments dont mean shit in a political witch hunt. You can charge people with anything, convicting is a whole other ball game. So the fact that the witch hunt announced indicted doesnt do anything to prove jack shit.
12 Russian Nationalists who will never step foot on American soil, no less.
Meanwhile, no conspiracy charges with the Trump campaign...
Witch hunt...witch hunt... seems I've heard that somewhere before...So he reaffirmed that he didnt do the hacking.

You do realize these types of investigations normally take years to complete. It's not as simple as calling some folks in for questioning and getting legit responses. If anything they're fast tracking to get it done before the elections.Exactly, this is so transparent. They're just keeping the investigation open as long as they can to effect the next election IMO.
32 made up indictments against individuals, 3 indictments against companies, 5 guilty pleas.Exactly, this is so transparent. They're just keeping the investigation open as long as they can to effect the next election IMO.

I really wish you'd bring those back.

H e took a plea deal for cooperating with them, nincompoop. That doesn't mean that's all he was guilty of.For lying to the FBI.
This absurdly large investigation has yet to produce one goddamn piece of concrete evidence of a conspiracy.

You think Russia and what comes to mind is conservatives?Trump turns USA to a conservative country faster that I could have ever imagined, which is fkn awesome. The current LGBQT and commie culture is deeply sick. you celebrate abortion andphilia on every gay pride parade.

This absurdly large investigation has yet to produce one goddamn piece of concrete evidence of a conspiracy.
