Don't push him too hard John, he doesn't know what the word "leverage" means. It's best to nod and move on.

the earth orbits around the sun, but the earth is not in its orbit because of the earth on its own. no, it orbits the way it does because of the sun itself

This is a scenario I outlined earlier:
http://thehill.com/homenews/administrat ... -democrats
Trump making this claim now is deft. If they do interfere in Dems favor he can be like "See!" and claim the dems are in on it. If nothing happens he can still use this line if the Dems win the House to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
It is mind blowing to me that this is acceptable. POTUS is literally casting doubt on the legitimacy of US elections in advance.

I love how everybody assumes that there's nothing there because they haven't been told so yet. It's like they don't know how investigations work.
