Trump took notes from his translators, there are no records, not even classified ones, of what Trump and Putin discussed, and even some of Trump's advisors are in the dark.

I’ve read these reports and I find myself skeptical. The stories are almost too good for the narrative that Trump is beholden to Putin, like maybe a leaker(s) with an agenda is feeding them to the reporter. I want to read some more thorough reporting before making up my mind.

Maybe someone can research Trump’s interactions with other shady leaders and compare/contrast. For instance, at the start of the presidency, we read a lot of stories that it was his habit to tear up the paper of his speeches, notes, etc. into little pieces and that archivists were having to re-assemble them for public records purposes. Not that this would excuse anything, I’m just a little leery of this storyline.

We already know for a fact that customary meeting "read outs" were not read out.

We'll know for certain if Trump starts saying that he's been open but Hillary or Obama concealed details about meetings with the Russians.
 
This noise by Trump that FBI is some subversive anti-GOP group is bonkers.
They must be the most Republican organisation in the government.

Let's consider the last few weeks of the 2016 election. Comey publicly announced that they might be reopening the investigation of Hillary, based on (as it turns out) nothing. Meanwhile, there really were ongoing investigations into Trump's Russia ties and into Russia's interfering for Trump. They didn't mention either of those.

And this is the FBI helping Hillary?
