Statement by President-Elect Donald J. Trump

(New York, NY) President-elect Donald J. Trump released the following statement at the conclusion of the meeting with Intelligence Community leaders:

"I had a constructive meeting and conversation with the leaders of the Intelligence Community this afternoon. I have tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of this community to our great nation.

"While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. There were attempts to hack the Republican National Committee, but the RNC had strong hacking defenses and the hackers were unsuccessful.

"Whether it is our government, organizations, associations or businesses we need to aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks. I will appoint a team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office. The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm. Two weeks from today I will take the oath of office and America's safety and security will be my number one priority."

If it had been any other President it would have been 8 times as long and said less.

So the services presented no evidence of Russian hacking of the elections.

Trump was again proved right.

Be polite and disarm your enemy. Then decimate his ranks.

Who cares? It’s the content that should cause concern.

It appears all of this last minute Russian hacking BS was designed to entice a single US senator to object to the electoral college votes from a few states. Didn’t happen. Poor snowflakes...

Suddenly the left is concerned about hacking yet said absolute zero about the fact that Hitlery was throwing around classified emails like they were free entry tickets for every hacker on earth not to mention asking her maid to print out classified info.

And what he didn't say, but I'd wager he will do, is that he will vigorously ferret out future leakers and prosecute them - and maybe some very recent leakers....

“So, its not clear who successfully broke into DNC?’

It is clear that Trump thinks they really don’t know.

The Fake news outlets just make up crap and, like lemmings, they all follow it over the cliff.

The same people who produced the Benghazi video hacked into the criminal DNC. Yeah!The problem with being a perennial liar is that if you ever do tell the truth no one believes it.

He didn’t say anything at all about. Which is how I would have handled it coming out of the meeting.

Then, after he is lobbed a few more grenades, he can resume making statements about how they presented little or no evidence that the Russians were involved.

Unprovable interpolation of the statement.
