President Trump said that President Vladi­mir Putin had assured him again Saturday that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign, and indicated that he believed Putin’s sincerity, drawing immediate criticism from lawmakers and former intelligence officials who assessed that the meddling took place.

“I asked him again,” Trump said after what he described as several brief, informal chats with Putin in Danang, Vietnam, where they were attending a regional conference. “You can only ask so many times .?.?. He said he absolutely did not meddle in our election. He did not do what they are saying he did.

“I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it .?.?. I think he’s very insulted, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters traveling with him aboard Air Force One from Danang to Hanoi, on the ninth day of a long Asia tour. Trump voiced similar conclusions after his only previous meeting with Putin, last July in Germany.

--------------------
Some should ask him if he still believes this - Mueller or Putin?

Lock him up for Treason

Trump had the Russians in the oval office, someone accessed his FBI laptop and transferred information from it onto a flash drive, which was then passed onto Lavrov and Kislyak.
I can't remember where the original story came from, I did a basic search on Twitter and found quite a few people referring to stolen info from Comey's computer. I do remember seeing last month, that Mueller and his team team are investigating that meeting in the Oval Office, and what happened that day.
Interesting side note, while I was trying to find the original source for the Comey story. There was a response to one of Seth Abramson's tweets, I found interesting, again this is just a rumor, Trump was possibly fed false top secret info, to see if it ended up in Russia's hands, within 12 hrs. Russia had the info.

Trump thinks they are laughing with him, but more likely, they are laughing AT him. When Putin is done with Trump, he'll enjoy watching him crash and burn. There is no loyalty there, Putin is just using him.

US allies like the UK and Israel are much more careful about what they reveal to the US now that there is a Russian agent filling the Oval Office.

All part of tRump's plan to make Russia great again and get out of his debt and cover up his money laundering.

WASHINGTON — President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
