Good Lord, folks—the T-Rex tag team just gave Putin a permanent “Get Out Of Jail Free” card. Sure, go ahead and attack us, you'll never pay a price. Why not just give Puti the keys to the White House and have his name engraved on door of the Lincoln Bedroom?

The one point of agreement in the accounts of both Lavrov (who immediately delivered his assessment on live TV) and Tillerson (who insisted on a delayed off-camera briefing), was that Putin denied Russia's role in the hacking. Lavrov added a nice bit about Trump accepting Putin's denial.

"The U.S. president said that he heard clear statements from President Putin about this being untrue, and that he accepted these statements."


Trump being the good little Putin puppet.
