https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/18/world/europe/trump-intelligence-russian-election-meddling-.html
WASHINGTON Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.
The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
snip
The Jan. 6, 2017, meeting, held at Trump Tower, was a prime example. He was briefed that day by John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director; James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence; and Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency and the commander of United States Cyber Command.
The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was also there; after the formal briefing, he privately told Mr. Trump about the Steele dossier. That report, by a former British intelligence officer, included uncorroborated salacious stories of Mr. Trumps activities during a visit to Moscow, which he denied.
********
Every person who was at that Jan. 6, 2017 meeting has been fired, forced to retire, retired, or had their
security clearances pulled. Right after that meeting Trump went out and blamed China for the hacking.

WILL NOT have any feet left, which will be a good thing. He really is a dumbass con. His money has to be the only thing that projected any type of alpha-male personality. And he did not make it himself. This POS called potus is despicable and beyond any area of respect. storm: :
