Democrats In New Frenzy Over Trump Call With Russia Where He Discussed Election Meddling In 2016
September 30, 2019 | by James G. Dalton
Democrats are in a frenzy after a call between President Donald Trump and the Russians has been made known.
The Washington Post, who President Trump believes has a grudge against him, reported that he told the Russians he was not concerned about Russian meddling in the 2016 election, Reuters reported.
President Donald Trump told two Russian officials in a 2017 meeting that he was not concerned about Moscow's meddling in the U.S. election, which prompted White House officials to limit access to the remarks, the Washington Post reported on Friday.
A summary of Trump's Oval Office meeting with Russia's foreign minister and its ambassador to the U.S. was limited to a few officials in an attempt to keep the president's comments from being disclosed publicly, the Post said, citing former officials with knowledge of the matter.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
A whistleblower complaint about a July phone call in which Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Democratic political rival Joe Biden is at the heart of the U.S. House of Representatives impeachment inquiry launched this week.
A member of the U.S. intelligence community who filed the complaint against Trump said notes from other conversations the president had with foreign leaders had been placed on a highly classified computer system in a departure from normal practice in a bid to protect information that was politically sensitive, rather than sensitive for national security reasons.
Trump's 2017 meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergei Kislyak was already considered controversial after it was learned that Trump disclosed highly classified information about a planned Islamic State operation.
On election interference, Trump told Lavrov and Kislyak he was not concerned about Russian meddling because the United States did the same in other countries, the Post reported.
CNN, citing people familiar with the matter, said efforts to limit access to Trump's conversations with foreign leaders extended to phone calls with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters that procedures for handling records of Trump's conversations with world leaders had changed early in his tenure after calls with Mexico's president and Australia's prime minister were leaked.
But former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, who is not a fan of President Trump, said he was privy to the call and it was fine.
"I stand by my statement that I made yesterday," the general said in 2017, when he was still working for the White House.
"And what I'm saying is the premise of that article is false that in any way the president had a conversation that was inappropriate or that resulted in any kind of lapse in national security," he said.
"And so I think the real issue, and I think what I'd like to see really debated more, is that our national security has been put at risk by those violating confidentiality and those releasing information to the press that could be used connected with other information available to make American citizens and others more vulnerable," he said.

Of course they are in a tizzy because it was the Democrat Party and Hillary and the DNC who were involved with Russia.

Instead of looking at Trump for campaign violations how about finally looking at Hillary Clinton for her violations from the 2016 election where she brought in the Russians and started interfering with Biden's run for presidency by exposing the Ukrainian ties between his family and interference in their elections. Also for her mismanagement of her office as Secretary of State during the Obama administration and her role in the White Water Scandal during her husband's presidency (which is when this born & raised Democrat vowed to never vote for her).
