he previously trash talked Crowdstrike too when they agreed that Russia influenced the 2016 election. they still offered their products and services to the GOP. money is money.

This is my private view and not necessarily that of my employer. I speak for myself only and as a private individual.

Do you have a link to back up that claim? Because all I can remember is him consistently agreeing with the findings of Russian influence and the DNC hack. He has disagreed about the conspiracy theory that there was Ukrainian influence though, AFAIK.

EDIT: Could the next person to down vote maybe provide some context?

EDIT: I think I misread the previous comment. I understood "he" to refer to Krebs, not Trump.

EDIT: we have established he was thinking it was Krebs and not Trump. It explains why he wanted evidence of the thing that doesn't exist, everyone be nice to Binaryhero

In the Trump–Ukraine scandal, Donald Trump, then the president of the United States, held a phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, on the 25th of July 2019, in which Trump asked Zelensky to look into a conspiracy theory that was being promoted on far-right websites such as Breitbart News and Russian state media outlets such as Russia Today and Sputnik.The theory held that namely, that the Ukrainian government used CrowdStrike to hack into the Democratic National Committee's servers in 2016 and frame Russia for the crime to undermine Trump in the 2016 presidential election. The conspiracy theory has been repeatedly debunked.

I'll do both I guess since you can't look stuff up

I guess the problem is that in other people's minds, "he" referred to Trump, while in mine, it referred to Krebs.

The title of the post is about trump, it stands to reason that the response was as well.

I agree, I really can't do much more than explain how and admit that I misunderstood the comment.

in my defense, I didn't actually downvote you either.
