President Trump's former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland told a friend in an email when she was on Trump's transition team that Russia "threw" the U.S. election to Trump, The New York Times reported Saturday.

McFarland reportedly wrote in the email that sanctions then-President Obama levied on Russia in response to Moscow's election meddling would make it more difficult for Trump to improve relations with Russia, "which has just thrown the U.S.A. election to him."

Something screwy here. Obama's sanctions on Russia for election meddling happened in late December, 2016, more than a month after the election.

When would be the correct time to impose sanctions?

We get a cherry picked partial sentence from an email "described" to the Times.

Context is important.

Sure. Doesn't sound like that's where he was going with his point.

Dunno but it might have something to do with the correct time for it to be "Her Turn"?

You're an idiot. And a hack.

How could sanctions for election meddling throw the election to Trump if the sanctions weren't imposed until AFTER the election took place?

There's your first problem. That's not what the article said.

What's the difference between the two following quotes?

"...sanctions for election meddling throw the election to Trump."

"...sanctions then-President Obama levied on Russia in response to Moscow's election meddling would make it more difficult for Trump to improve relations with Russia, "which has just thrown the U.S.A. election to him."

This makes no sense so they are making things up and twisting things. What else is new?

And here is the quote in context.

quote:

She also wrote that the sanctions over Russian election meddling were intended to “lure Trump in trap of saying something” in defense of Russia, and were aimed at “discrediting Trump’s victory by saying it was due to Russian interference.”

“If there is a tit-for-tat escalation Trump will have difficulty improving relations with Russia, which has just thrown U.S.A. election to him,” she wrote.



Impeach! And the fake media wonders why no one trusts them anymore.
