Trump claims he ‘never said Russia did not meddle in the election’ despite repeatedly casting doubt on Russia probe. E.G :

I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!

Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!
When reports first surfaced of Russian intervention in the American elections, Trump and his team said there was no Russian meddling. Trump World then shifted and said they didn’t communicate with Russians during the attack. When that was shown to be a lie, they changed their line again, saying there was no cooperation between Russia and the campaign.
Now that we know Russia did attack the elections, and took steps to help put Trump in power, and Team Trump was in communications with Russia during the attack, and top members of Trump’s inner circle welcomed Moscow’s intervention, the emphasis has shifted anew: the attack was ultimately inconsequential, the argument goes, because Russia’s intervention didn’t affect the outcome of the race.
In other words, the president and his team desperately want you to forget all those other, discredited talking points, and believe the foreign adversary’s intelligence operation simply didn’t matter in practical terms.
