... anytime you post the words "our intelligence," you're spoutin' a stupendous oxymoron, dearie.
Oh, and as for why President Trump might still put some stock in Russian denials about hacking The Hildabeast's and the DNC's computers ... well ... he has two very good reasons:
1. The Clintons and the DNC were SO ridiculously incompetent about securing their computer networks that any six-year-old with a laptop could have easily hacked them. The Clintons and the DNC were quite literally BEGGING to be hacked!
2. Who would you trust more ... a Russian Communist who makes no bones about being a power-hungry strongman (Vladimir Putin) or an American Communist who lies about what she truly is so she can obscenely profit from her treasonous actions against the American people (Hillary Clinton)? I'd say Putin is the far more honorable of the two ... at least Putin is honest about what he is.
