Speaking on foreign soil in Poland on July 6 2017 the day before he was to meet in secret with his good buddy Vladimir Putin, the Commander In Chief of the USA spoke about the conclusion 17 US agencies made about Russian illegally meddled in the US election to get him elected. Trump said: </font><br><br><font size="4"><i>"I heard it was 17 agencies. I said, boy, that’s a lot. Do we even have that many intelligence agencies? Right, let’s check that, We did some heavy research. It turned out to be three or four.
