TRUMP
REHASHES DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY DEBATE CONTROVERSY TO DEFLECT ATTENTION
FROM
RUSSIA PROBE

Trump is pushing back
against the ongoing investigations into his team’s possible ties to Russia by
rehashing the 2016 campaign. All of it.
“Did Hillary Clinton
ever apologize for receiving the answers to the debate?” Trump tweeted on
Monday morning. “Just asking!”
Trump’s question
refers to emails that showed former acting Democratic National Committee chair
Donna Brazile had provided questions to the
Hillary Clinton campaign in advance of a town hall and debate hosted
by CNN during the Democratic primary.
The emails, obtained
in a Russian hack of the DNC’s servers and published by WikiLeaks in October,
revealed that Brazile shared with the Clinton campaign a question that would be
posed to Clinton before the CNN Democratic Debate in Flint, Mich., in March,
and another before a CNN town hall in Columbus, Ohio, a week later. Brazile, a
longtime CNN contributor, was later fired by the network, which vehemently
denied giving her access to debate questions in advance.
“This is exactly what
the Russians intended to do,” Brazile tweeted following the publication of
those emails. “And they’re doing it.”
It’s not the first
time Trump has tried to deflect attention by tweeting about Clinton and her
former campaign chairman, John Podesta.
“Why isn’t the House
Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed
big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech money to Bill, the Hillary Russian
‘reset,’ praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta Russian Company,” the
president tweeted. “Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!”
The president
complained that the “fake news” media had been focused on his campaign’s
possible connections to Russia rather than Clinton’s supposed ties.
Earlier Monday, Trump
praised “Fox & Friends” for “such amazing reporting on unmasking and the
crooked scheme against us.”
“‘Spied on before nomination,'”
Trump tweeted. “The real story.”
Trump then
floated — without evidence — a conspiracy theory about Podesta’s
brother.
“Was the brother of
John Podesta paid big money to get the sanctions on Russia lifted?” Trump tweeted. “Did
Hillary know?”
The president then
cited a Fox News report that there was electronic surveillance of Trump and
people close to him — tagging the FBI in his tweet.
Over the weekend,
Trump also tried to steer the media’s attention back to the “real story”: his
evidence-free claim that former President Barack Obama had ordered the
wiretapping of Trump Tower before the election.
“When will Sleepy Eyes
Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and
stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story?” Trump tweeted on Saturday. (That tweet
was the subject of an extended discussion among the panelists on MSNBC’s
“Morning Joe” Monday about whether Chuck Todd really does have sleepy eyes.)
On Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Todd asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell whether he had seen any indication that the Obama administration asked for surveillance of the Trump campaign.
“No,” McConnell said.
A few minutes later,
Trump tweeted again.
“The real story turns
out to be SURVEILLANCE and LEAKING!” the president declared. “Find the
leakers.”
