Just before Monday’s House Intelligence Committee hearings to investigate Donald Trump’s alleged wire-tapping and Russian affiliations, a YouTube video from 2013 began to circulate social media. In the video, Trump claims he has a very good relationship with the leader of the Russian Federation and says President Vladimir Putin is very interested in what America is doing.
Below are two videos of Trump giving completely different answers followed by the video transcripts. We all know Trump is a liar. He’s proven himself to be one again and again. He even lies about his lies and it’s all on video. The difference with these statements is that what he is proudly spouting off could ultimately aid in his removal of office and possibly send him to prison.

Question:
So when we talk about what the current politics are back at home. We know that there is a tense relationship between President Obama and Vladimir Putin, especially when it comes to world stage issues. Do you have a relationship with Vladimir Putin, a conversational relationship or anything that you feel you have sway or influence over his government?
Donald Trump:
“I do have a relationship, and I can tell you that he’s very interested in what we’re doing here today. He’s probably very interested in what you are saying today, and I’m sure he’s going to be seeing this in some form, but I do have a relationship with him.
And I think it’s very interesting to see what happened. I mean look, he’s done a very brilliant job in terms of what he represents and whom he’s representing. If you look at what he’s done with Syria, if you look at so many of the different things he has really eaten our president’s lunch.
Let’s not kid ourselves. He’s done an amazing job. He’s put himself, really as you know, a lot of people would say he’s put himself at the forefront of as a world leader in a short period of time.
Now in all fairness to Obama, I think that he’s done the same thing with Bush with President Bush. I think that Putin has done an amazing job of showing certain leadership that our people have not been able to match.”
Fast-forward to July 2016 via this Raw Story video of Fake News Trump talking to the real media denying he “knows” Putin.
Video #2 — Trump doesn’t know who Putin is in 2016

Donald Trump:
“I never met Putin — I don’t know who Putin is. He said one nice thing about me. He said I’m a genius. I said thank you very much to the newspaper. I never met Putin.
I would treat Vladimir Putin firmly, but there’s nothing I can think of that I’d rather do than have Russia friendly, as opposed to the way they are right now, so that we can go and knock out ISIS together with other people and with other countries. Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually got along with people? Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually got along, as an example, with Russia? I’m all for it and let’s go get ISIS because we have to get ISIS and we have to get them fast. You know what happened with that priest, it’s only going to get worse
And Hillary Clinton wants to allow 550% (five hundred and fifty percent) more people from that region into our country and we have no idea who they are, where they come from, where their documentation is. It’s only going to get worse and it’s going to start getting...”
Fake News Trump is a corrupt, greedy, little-fingered liar. And he does indeed have a relationship with Putin — that did indeed influence our election.
The people of the Resistance, the media and members of the United States judiciary will continue to expose him and we will win this war against Donald Trump and his team of corruption. We will change history. We will overturn this administration and every complicit lawmaker involved. They are all going down.
