Trump defended Russia, saying Putin told him that “if we did [interfere], we wouldn’t have gotten caught because we’re professionals,” which Trump thought that was a good point “because they are some of the best in the world” at hacking. JFC.

Asked how he weighed Putin’s denials against intel presented to him by then US Intelligence Chiefs @Comey, @JohnBrennan, & Jim Clapper, Trump said Clapper & Brennan were the “most political” intelligence chiefs he knew and Comey was “a leaker.” 🙄
