Trump Hits Back At Alleged Russian Hacking


Besides the obvious reasons why this is ridiculous, people are concerned over the relationship between the Trump Administration and the CIA. Are they forgetting that Trump is the president? He can completely restructure the CIA if he wants to. He did say he was going to “drain the swamp.”

Senate Democrats responded to the news Friday and Saturday by calling on the Intelligence community to turn over to Congress as much relevant information on the subject of Russian hacking to Congress.

“That any country could be meddling in our elections should shake both political parties to their core,” incoming Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. “Senate Democrats will join with our Republican colleagues next year to demand a congressional investigation and hearings to get to the bottom of this.”

Trump has repeatedly said there is no evidence to suggest that President Vladimir Putin’s Russia, with which he has vowed to improve relations, played a nefarious role in the US election.

“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe they interfered,” Trump said in an interview for the latest issue of Time magazine, adding that he thought intelligence community accusations about Russian interventions in the election were politically motivated.

Trump has also been highly sensitive to any suggestion that he did not win the election fair and square, including claiming that he is only trailing Clinton in the popular vote because of a huge trove of illegal votes — a claim for which he has provided no evidence.

His surrogates including Republican National Committee Communications Director Sean Spicer underscored the point Saturday that there’s little evidence that Russian hacking would have affected the overall outcome of the election.

But, by all means, keep crying about it. Keep dragging Trump’s name through the mud and reaching for things that aren’t there. The time for liberal witch hunts and excuse making has come to an end. January is right around the corner, and by then, their opinions and fears won’t matter at all.
