Did President Whats-His-Name just admit that the Russian election meddling scandal was real? Isn’t the core of his case that he was not in collusion with Russia during the election and after based on the premise that there was no meddling? That it was all a Democratic hoax?
IANAL, but the tweet from June 23 effectively shoots his argument that there was no Russian interference in the foot. And then sticks that foot in his mouth.
Frankly, I think he’d actually have to be caught with his hand down Putin’s pants before his supporters will turn on him (and maybe not even then), but this isn’t about the support of his base. This is about treasonous collusion with a hostile foreign power. SC Mueller should have a hell of a case at this point.
