President Trump appears to be intimidated by Putin and the Russians. Turning his back on the National Security apparatus in favor of trusting Putin is contradictory to upholding his oath of office and allegiance to our nation.
The rationale for that includes arrogance and compromise. Suspected is that deep in Trump's business files and personal history lies "dirt" to be used against him. Hope is that the Special Prosecutor will find sufficient evidence to convince the Republican leadership to put the nation first.
It is past time for removing Donald Trump via the impeachment process. He imperils the nation.
"But asked directly whether Russia was responsible for the meddling, he skirted the question again and avoided putting the matter to rest.
"As to whether I believe it or not, I am with our agencies, especially as currently constituted with the leadership," he said.
His grudging, caveated acceptance of a finding the US intelligence community arrived at months ago put him closer to the position of most of those in his administration. But it stopped short of answering the direct question he was posed about whether Russia was responsible."

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump met recently at a summit
Two former US intelligence chiefs say Donald Trump's stance on Russian meddling in last year's presidential election is putting the US at risk.
The US president sparked uproar by suggesting he believed Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin when he said there had been no interference.
The two leaders briefly discussed the allegations at an Asia-Pacific summit.
US intelligence has long concluded Russia tried to sway the vote in Mr Trump's favour."
