Donald Trump:
You look at Putin who is absolutely having a great time.
Russia is like, I mean, they're really Hot stuff.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually get along with Russia?
[Repeats this several more times ...]
Wouldn't it be great if we actually got along with Russia?
I think I'd get along very well with Vladimir Putin.
Putin was very nice to me, he said ‘Donald Trump is a genius’.
What he's done for Russia is really amazing. And he's done it by out-smarting our country ... at ... every ... single step.

Donald Trump:
I believe that he believes that. I believe that he feels, that he and Russia did not meddle in the Election.
[...] as currently led by 'fine people', I believe very much in our Intelligence Agencies.
At the same time I want to be able -- because it is very important -- to get along with Russia [...] because we have a lot of things we have to solve. [...]
I believe that President Putin really feels -- and he feels very strongly -- that he did not meddle in out Election. {shruggs} What he believes, is what he believes -- what I believe is that we have to get to work. [...]
Russia has been very heavily sanctioned. They were sanctioned, at a very high level. And that took place very recently. It's now time to get back to healing a World, that is shattered and broken.
Those are very important things, and I feel that having Russia in a friendly posture, as opposed to always fighting with them, is an Asset to the World. And an Asset to our Country — not a liability.

Reporter: Will you call on Putin to stay out of this Election?
Donald Trump: I'm not going to tell Putin what to do -- WHY would I tell Putin what to do?

Donald Trump: Russia, if you're listening: I hope you find the 30,000 emails that are missing. ...
They probably have them -- I'd like to get them released.

Shortly preceding all those “accidental slips” — there was this little merging-of-minds meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan on June 9th 2016 …

Whoopsie!
Talk about … accidentally ‘telling the truth’ — Donald Trump does that in spades, sometimes.
{SO ... WHY is the National Media so afraid to call him on it? … his very own words … serve … to convict … him.}
