Trump doesn't trust his own Intelligence Agency. He basically stated that on the world stage. It's very concerning to hear him say this.
He has reasons not to trust them, since they were out to get hime.... but as the leader of the free world, he messed up bigtime by not supporting their intelligence and giving Putin a pass.
I expect his approval rating will be dropping a few points. He does nothing to help himself...he just put fuel on the fire.
I’m no fan of the CIA, but I’d trust them before I’d trust Putin and the KGB when it comes to Americas best interest.
Good lord.
Suggest you read up about some of the “great” things the CIA has done for Americas best interests. Start with the drug wars and standing up of drug cartels...
The intel agencies knew before the election Trump was compromised by Russia

The only absurdity was the fake president himself. Anyone that cannot see that he is compromised is either brain dead or an actual traitor to this nation. Impeachment should begin now.

If I have to read "we do it too" one more time....
I get it. That's the company line.
I think I'd like an example since everybody keeps claiming it actually.

Bags of cash delivered to a Rome hotel for favored Italian candidates. Scandalous stories leaked to foreign newspapers to swing an election in Nicaragua. Millions of pamphlets, posters and stickers printed to defeat an incumbent in Serbia. The long arm of Vladimir Putin? No, just a small sample of the United States’ history of intervention in foreign elections.

Following Trumps logic here, if you want to stop your house from being robbed just leave your front door open and invite the burglar in and give him what he wants.
See, now we’re at peace!
Again, good lord. Either he’s extremely stupid or he’s complicit. There really aren’t any other choices at this point.

No I didn't say that. He needs to confront him with the evidence and demand extradition of those perpetrators. And he needs to demand they back off the elections or face further sanctions.
He needs to stand up to him.

Lol, what's the problem?
I’d say giving a foreign government the authority to question and prosecute people in America is a bad thing.
I’m not surprised you disagree with me.
Actually, it's observing US authorities questioning citizens that have committed crimes against Russia and vice versa.
I
Not surprised you don't actually understand the point, or if you do would against it. It's put up or shut up time.
So you trust Putin?
(Not asking because I really care, just that the level of doublethink put on display in your posts is very interesting, and I’m a fan of psychology)
What has trust got to do with it?
He just offered for his law enforcement people to question the 12 men in the presence of Mueller.
If the right questions are not posed or answered, Mueller will know.
Mueller won't touch it because he has nothing and he will lose control of the information, with the public most likely able to see the questions and answers...not good for the political campaign pretending to be an investigation.
Perhaps brush up on your psychology studies. You currently get an F.
What are you even talking about? Trust has every thing to do with it. You’d actually trust what would come out of the Russian government questioning itself?
That pretty much says it all people.
Good day.

"Any one who does not agree with me = brain dead."
I'm not going to sit here and say that Trump is the best thing since sliced bread, he's definitely got a host of cons and a few pros. But to call anyone who does support him brain dead or traitors just fuels the bigotry problem in this country. And that problem exists with certain people on both sides, not all, just some.
how do we secure ourselves from (at this time perceived) attempts to sway our elections?

Demand the media report all facts and all sides with fairness and quit with so much opinion reporting.
The slobbering support for Hillary (Obama's 3rd term) was over the top in the last election.
90% of msm's reporting on DJT was negative and almost all opinion and misrepresentation. If it hadn't been for his hard work, rallies, tweets, and tell-it-like-it-is style, we might be dealing with a real criminal cartel running things.
FBI and CIA operatives should not be allowed to represent themselves as journalists and reporters on regular news broadcasts nightly. Get rid of that little propaganda operation.

Again, if people are just going to repeat rhetoric and continue to blame a boogeyman for our woes, what do you suggest we do to fix our political climate?
Is it possible the last election had a host of issues with it besides the Russians? Could it be we didn't run the best candidates? Could Bernie have defeated Trump if he was given a fair shake? What can we do in the future to help our own political system rather than blaming other countries, or further, how do we secure ourselves from (at this time perceived) attempts to sway our elections?
It's sad and worrisome that those in the high ranks of the IC have politicised and pulled those agencies in such extreme partisan manners.
