… So we have an interest of questioning them. That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.
Q And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
PRESIDENT PUTIN: (As interpreted.) Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal.

REPORTER (Jeff Mason from Reuters): President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the US/Russia relationship back to normal.
If they would lie so boldly about this, what untold millions of viewers saw live, and even more have seen it played over and over in the news since, just what won’t they blatantly lie about?
More people in America, no, in the WORLD, didn’t see what we scrubbed from that transcript than has ever never seen something scrubbed from a transcript in the history of all scrubbed transcripts.
It is like Fat Donald is the QVC president and he is selling every dumb idea he can come up with to his base and they just eat it up then demand “more, more please!”
He convinced his base he watched on 9/11 extensive coverage of American Muslims dancing in the streets of America, why not altered video and transcripts?
On the 9/11 thing, I am embarrassed to say I have Trump worshiping family members who now believe they saw the same coverage he claimed he saw.
“This country is doing better than it’s ever done before, economically,” Trump said at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Kansas City, Mo. “But it’s all working out. Just remember: What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.”
I think we all understand he doesn’t want the world to replay Putin’s affirmative answer to the question, “President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?” but it was said and we all saw/heard it.
