"President Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said Sunday there is "no question" Russia was involved in hacking last year's U.S. presidential elections.
"Certainly, I think Russia was involved in the election. There's no question about that," she told co-anchor Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week..."
And here is what she said of Russia, after calling it a serious threat: "Take it seriously. We cannot trust Russia. We should never trust Russia," she told NBC News' Matt Lauer"
3. Here is CIA chief Mike Pompeo: "Congressman Mike Pompeo, who Mr. Trump has tapped to be director of the CIA, called Russian attempts to influence the US 2016 presidential election an "aggressive action". Trump has said he is "110% behind the CIA."
Mr. Pompeo added that the "US faced one of the most "complicated" threat environments in decades, including an increasingly aggressive Russia "threatening Europe" and "doing nothing" to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ."
And here is Secy of State Tillerson: "Pressed as to whether he believes Russian meddling took place, Tillerson said Moscow's election-linked cyber attacks had been a proven problem for the United States and for other countries as well.
"I think it's been well documented -- it's pretty well understood, the nature of that interference, here and elsewhere," he said."The relationship with Russia, as he has described, and I have described as well, is, I think, at an all-time low point since the end of the Cold War, with a very low level of trust."
Trump's official portrait shows a man bracing for betrayal.(Either that or his hemmeroids are acting up again).
The irony is that as a borderline personality disorder type, he is "obsessed with control, and when BPD is combined with other mental health problems, they are the Energizer Bunny of emotional and physical bullying.
The BPD used to be described as "borderline psychotic" because they are subject to psychotic fits of rage.
Their accusations that others are sabotaging them are often merely projection (pot kettle black) of their own efforts to sabotage and betray coworkers, spouses, and children. "
In the present case, the sabotage is real, as his own team believes he was elected due to Russian intervention (and therefore is illegitimate) and has sabotaged his efforts to soften relations with Russia by calling Russia "our most serious threat." dailykos.com
.I think it clear from the people Trump himself has chosen to conduct foreign relations, to the man (and woman), they think Russia intervened in the election based on the evidence they have been shown and that Russia is a grave threat.
.
Trump will be stabbed in the back by his own Party, to the eventual dismay of the Democrats who salivate at the chance to run against him and take back both the Senate and the House in 2018 and elect a Democrat in 2020. The hysteria is not on the side of the Democrats, whose future return to power depends on keeping Trump in power to run against. For the Democrats, the most serious threat is not Trump's survival but that they will be unable to run against him.
