To the editor:

It was encouraging to read that because of the public outcry in his own country, President Trump finally accepted the conclusions of American intelligence agencies about Russia’s meddling in our 2016 election.

I believe most citizens are beginning to see a pattern with Trump talking out of both sides of his mouth. Fortunately, the American press is exposing this reprehensible behavior.

Perhaps, the salient words often attributed to Abraham Lincoln capture my sentiments: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

Note from KBJ: Every country "meddles" in every other country's elections, Tom. That is hardly news. The only reason you think it's news is that your candidate, Crooked Hillary, lost. Get over it. Stop beating the drums for war with Russia.
