National Security Adviser John Bolton told his “Russian colleagues,” during a trip to Moscow Monday, “that their meddling in our election process had hardly had any real effect,” Reuters reported.
Reuters didn’t report what, if any, proof Bolton supplied for the claim. U.S. intelligence agencies that probed Russian election interference said explicitly that they “did not make an assessment of the impact that Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 election.” Read the full quote below:

“…so try harder next time, comrades!”
–John Bolton
However, its surreal effect cannot be overstated.
And the irrefutable refutation of that blatant lie?
That John Bolton is National Security Adviser.
(When the post-Trump throngs eventually shave collaborator heads, will they shave his mustache also, too?)
I suspect his moustache operates much like Sampson’s hair, so I hope they’ll zip that sucker right off, burn it, and bury the ashes while making him stare at his chafed philtrum in a funhouse mirror.
John, you are working for the master prevaricator. If you are going to lie, you need to do a whle lot better than this.
