--(CNN) On Thursday, President Donald Trump called the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election a "hoax." While on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. You don't have to think hard to imagine the huge smile on Putin's face when he heard those words from Trump. Russia did meddle in the election to help Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton, and Trump won. (To be clear: None of those investigations produced definitive proof that a singe vote had been changed by Russia's effort.)
