Donald Trump and his team sharpened the divide with the Obama administration on whether Russia executed the cyber-attacks on the White House race and suggested this team might have the better intelligence.
“Rushing to judgement on stuff like this is not in anybody’s best interest,” incoming WH Communication Director Sean Spicer said....”Spicer argued that President-elect Trump is not disputing statements from U.S. intelligence officers, just waiting for a final report due later this week that could offer more conclusive evidence...
Several U.S. intelligence agencies have said Russia was behind the hacking ... President Obama last week punished Russia for the alleged cyber-attacks with sanctions... expelling of 35 diplomats believed to be spies... Clinton’s team ... say the hacked emails contributed to her upset loss to Trump. Obama says the hacking investigation and sanctions were in the interest of protecting the U.S. election system.
But Spicer has suggested ... that the actions of Obama, a Democrat, were politically motivated. “There is a question about whether there's a political retribution here versus a diplomatic response,” he told ABC...
...Trump is briefed “on a daily basis” by his security team and members of the intelligence community. “So he is privy to information that nobody else is,” “Spicer said. “What he’s driving at is that there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence.”
He also dismissed a report by the FBI and Homeland Security..., calling it a "how-to" manual on basic cybersecurity for Democrats. “This report that everyone is taking as gospel is not even final,” Spicer said....
... China in 2015 stole sensitive information from millions of Americans, including federal workers, the White House failed to issue “a single statement.”.... Trump said he wants U.S. officials to be sure about the allegations "because it's a pretty serious charge."...

A lying tongue is not only something God hates, it is also something that is an abomination to Him.
Now every democrat -globalist -progressive -leftist politico will blame their losing candidacy on Russians.
BOOM!
Not surprised. I’ve noticed how Trump is always right, even in the face of ridicule. I figured that wherever he was getting his information was a very good source.
Best election evah.

How could private intel possibly be worse than what Brennan and Comey and God knows who (really) at NSA turn out? Companies like Exxon are forced to maintain their own in-house State Depts to have the best data.
Bada bing bada boom!
No doubt they're betting looking than Barry's too.
LOL! not at you CCC, but at the concept and what just went through my head.
He is getting his Intel from Bibi/Mosad !!!
No wonder BHO is ticked, he knows DJT will clean out the various puzzle palaces because they are all corrupt! Mosad is more trusted!!!
On Don’s dad Fred’s wiki entry, it says Fred and Bibi became close friends in 1980... I figured zero skipped more than half his PDBs because he knew they were lame.
I can see how Trump could acquire “intel” regarding the Russian “hacking”.
It’s simple, it would be inside information from credible sources.
Now when you’re comparing notes with obama, a credible source could even be the guy selling hotdogs on the corner, simply because he’s less apt to tell a lie.
The big difference is, betcha Trump can prove it, and all obama can come up with is more lies to back up the other lies.
In order to run his billion dollar organization effectively he would have had to have the finest security and intel detail for which he has paid handsomely.
Trump’s been doing this for at least two decades. He has likely had to reconfigure his own systems repeatedly to repel outside government and business surveillance.
Well let’s see what President Trump has. He said he’d be releasing it tomorrow or Wednesday.
Would not surprise me if Mossad are assisting Trump, and if true that’s an excellent thing.
Mossad are without a doubt the greatest intelligence agency in the world. I suspect they have been reluctant to assist the U.S. Under Obama, and for good reason
“Now every democrat -globalist -progressive -leftist politico will blame their losing candidacy on Russians.”
That’s the whole point.
It simply could NOT have been that Americans didn’t want their candidates - the very idea is impossible.
Hell Reid admitted he told them TO LIE TO TRUMP.

Assuming that the story was true — that Russian hackers had gained access to a Vermont utility’s software — members of the mainstream media piped its echoes across the Internet:
ABC News: Russian Hacking Malware Found on Vermont Utility Computer
International Business Times: Vermont Electric Grid Targeted by Russian Hackers
Chicago Tribune: Russian hack of Vermont utility shows risk to power grid
Each of these stories is now between one and two days old, with no follow-up once the Washington Post edited its original article:
An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid. [Emphasis added.]
But the reaction the original article evoked was something to behold. Vermont’s Democrat Governor Peter Shumlin called on federal officials “to conduct a full and complete investigation of this incident and undertake remedies to ensure that this never happens again.” He made things worse by adding:
Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world’s leading thugs, Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely on to support our quality of life, economy, health, and safety.
Apparently, there are still some team (Team America) players left in this country.
God Bless them.
