Can't believe our IC is correct while accepting that Putin actually believes he didn't do it.

They are mutually exclusive.

If Trump believes our intelligence that Putin and Russia interfered in our election, meaning that TRUMP BELIEVES that Putin and Russia interfered in our election, then he CAN'T logically accept that a sane Putin, who Trump thinks is guilty, could actually believe that he is not guilty.

It's ridiculous, and I never hear or see that point mentioned. Absent an insanity defense, Putin could only sincerely believe that he didn't do it if he really didn't do it, and in that case, if Trump thinks that Putin is sincere in that belief, Trump CANNOT logically say that he agrees with our intelligence community, which posits that Putin did in fact do it.

I know, I know......Trump is not logical, but still.......Trump is still trashing our intelligence community.....PERIOD, and it needs to be repeated often!
