WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump said in an interview Friday morning that the storm surrounding Russian hacking during the presidential campaign is a political witch hunt being carried out by his adversaries, who he said were embarrassed by their loss to him in the election last year. Mr. Trump spoke to The New York Times by telephone three hours before he was set to be briefed by the nation’s top intelligence and law enforcement officials about Russian hacking of American political institutions. In the conversation, he repeatedly criticized the intense focus on the alleged cyber intrusions by Russia.

“That is Free Republic doctrine, but it is false doctrine”

Wow, thanks for clearing that up for us altogether with a simple proclamation of “false” with no evidence or further discussion necessary.

Just like human-caused global warming is settled science!

If Trump does not fire everyone in the FBI above the field agent level I will be disappointed. He also needs to find out who was involved in NBC getting the clasdified report and hang them for treason.

Then he needs to do the same house cleaning with the State Department, the EPA, the VA, the FCC, and any other agency filled with lefties.

Trump is correct. If Hillary had won we would not be talking about Russian hacking.

We all know that it is a lying diversionary tacted to black out what the emails revealed, which is vast illegality on the part of top democrats.

Russia takes Crimea - Obama: “Oh Well”
Russian Shoots down an airliner - Obama: “Mistakes Happen”
John Podesta falls for phishing scam: Obama: “RESTART THE COLD WAR”

God I love Trump he said he’s going to revamp the intelligence agency rather than buckle down on the Russian hacking claims which is obviously something that can’t be proven or disproven but the idea that Putin wants Trump was totally against covert intelligence exploitation for the last 2000 years or so.

I know they have communication intercepts that say they can back up their claims but they had Clapper and Brennan who are noted serial Liars saying it. And that stuff is super easy to fake.

Brought to you by the same party whose leader launched cruise missiles against a Sudanese aspirin Factory to change the news narrative.

Here is the real election hacking story:

The true-believers posting at the NYT are bitterly clinging to the false narrative.
They are unable to recognize the obvious ploy the Democrats are using
to impune and delegitimize Trump because for them, ‘believing is seeing’.
