Trump: “So you look at it — I mean, you have Brennan, you have Clapper, and you have Comey. Comey is proven now to be a liar and he's proven to be a leaker.”

Trump’s conclusion: “So you look at that, and you have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with that.”

tl;dr: Trump: 1. Says people are saying Putin should have been caught if he did it. 2. Suggests the hack could have been an inside DNC job. 3. Dismisses US intelligence assessments. 4. Explicitly says he looks at all that in light of Putin’s denials and moves on.
