President Trump met with Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit, and Russian meddling was mentioned:
"Don't meddle in the election," Trump said in joking manner to Putin. #G20Summit https://t.co/uMAuXRyr2P

Godfather of Fake News, noted document examiner and former anchor of the CBS Evening News, Dan Rather, was stunned:
Vladimir Putin didn't just attack American elections. It was an attack on the entire United States meant to undermine our democracy and national security. Seeing President Trump joke with Putin about this shows where the loyalties of the President of the United States really lie.

Details that are often conveniently skipped over are things such as who was president in 2015/2016 when the “attack” was going on, and how that administration had handled Russia in the months and years leading up to it:
Well, Trump did say to Putin he would have note flexibility after the elections. Oh wait, that was Obama.

Was Rather shocked when that happened? We can’t recall:
Let me remind you about Obama offering flexibility to Russian President. Far more dangerous and treasonous don’t you think? Here’s a reminder #hipocrits #doublestandardshttps://t.co/g6VQGB3WPr

Yeah, he should bring out the old reset button or whisper to him he will have more flexibility after the election

Ah yes, the “reset button” — good times! How’d that work out?

Gosh Dan, are you trying to distract from the horrible performances by your Democratic candidates? Obama promised flexibility after an election while Russia was attacking our security – but thats okay right?

If only he'd have said, "I'll have more flexibility after the election", you'd have been okay with it..

Rather is among “journalists” who have had a sudden awakening after January of 2017. His memory of what happened in the preceding few years is obviously a little fuzzy.
