    Per a translation provided by Davis, Popov and others discussed how to
    “help our
    partner Trump to become President.”

    “My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence]
    Dan Coats came to me and some others saying they think it's
    Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not
    Russia,” Trump said. “I will say this, I don’t see any
    reason why it would be.”

    Trump's cave-in to Putin just gobsmacking
    22 July 2018
    Sydney Morning Herald

    Donald Trump’s craven cave-in to Vladimir
    Putin in Helsinki? Simply gobsmacking. Here
    was Trump, the most infamously bellicose
    blow-hard on the planet, turned into a
    simpering supplicant at the feet of Vladimir
    Putin. How could this be the same man?

    "The single most chaotic and destructive
    of an American president. He has put us
    at odds with the EU, weakened NATO,
    disparaged Germany and directly undermined
    Theresa May. He is a wrecking ball. American
    credibility has been diminished." - Nicholas
    Burns on the Trump visit to Europe.

    "Trump was a traitor today. I cannot and
    will not support a traitor. No decent
    American should. - Deeply conservative
    American commentator Joe Walsh, in the
    wake of the Trump/Putin press conference.

    The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday unveiled
    a sweeping new bipartisan report detailing Russian
    efforts to boost Donald Trump’s White House bid on
    social media during the 2016 U.S. elections, dealing
    an indirect blow to a push by the president and his
    allies to shift focus toward claims of anti-Trump
    meddling by Ukraine.

    The report corroborates past findings by researchers
    and the intelligence community that the notorious
    Internet Research Agency troll farm, as the committee
    wrote, “sought to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential
    election by harming Hillary Clinton’s chances of
    success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction
    of the Kremlin.”
