    Just to elaborate on Helsinki, he literally trusted Putin’s word over his own intelligence agency (about 2016 election interference from Russia)

      I don’t think it was an issue of “trust”. I think we (those of us living in this reality) all know this, but it is moreso that he was bending to his master’s will rather than let a US agency sway his actions. Especially if it is counter to his master’s wishes. I am sure he knew that information was correct, but he needed to bury it.
