    Given all that has happened with the "intelligence community," do you believe President Trump was right or wrong to say he believes Putin?

    For those who would like a refresher:

    * the fact that during the election season, "50 top GOP national security officials" signed an open letter to the NYT saying that if elected, Trump would be "the most reckless president in American history";

    * the bogus "Russia dossier";

    * Peter Strzok heading up both Clinton email case and Trump campaign "Russian collusion" case, all the while texting more than 50,000 texts to Lisa Page (on FBI phones and on FBI time), many of them denigrating -- and worse -- President Trump, and several of which seemed to imply a coup;

    * the spying on American citizens before, during, and after former DNI James Clapper swore under oath;

    * the [separate] unmasking and naming of American citizens, which even Acting FBI Director McCabe said is a crime and which targeted Trump campaign workers by the then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice (by her own admission) and suspected having been done by then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-UN Ambassador Samantha Power;

    * the unconstitutional spying on a few targeted journalists which included the case of James Rosen whose parents' phone was tapped;

    * the discord emanating from former FBI director James Comey;

    * then-Deputy Director of the FBI / Acting Director of the FBI leaking information to the media and lying (or "lack of candor");

    * the entire Michael Flynn debacle, which started out with Judge Rudolph Contreras presiding, until he inexplicably recused himself after accepting Flynn's guilty plea. "Rudy" was the same FISA judge who was a friend of Strozk and about whom Page and Strozk texted meeting with secretly; and

    * Manafort's inexplicable solitary confinement after Judge Ellis pointed out to the Special Prosecutor that she could see no relation between Manafort's alleged crime and the Special Prosecutor's mission, and then going on to say, “You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud. You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment."

    I could go on and on, believe me, but I wanted to lay out some of the issues which might have been forgotten and that could impact your answers here.
