President-elect Donald Trump accepts the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia engaged in cyber attacks aimed at disrupting the presidential election and may take actions in response, his incoming chief of staff said on Sunday.
Reince Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman, said Trump understands that Moscow was behind the intrusions into the Democratic Party organizations. “He accepts the fact that this particular case was entities in Russia so that’s not the issue,” Priebus said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Priebus’ comments marked a major shift. Trump has repeatedly dismissed claims that the Russians were trying to help him, arguing that those charges are the product of his political opponents trying to undermine his victory. …

“Mistake. Never surrender to liberals. Ever.”
I think Priebus will soon be looking like Gingrich bidding past his hand on Trump retracting ‘drain the swamp’.
Why keep this on top,of the news cycle ?
As Trump ,said, time to move on
13 more days
Time to pull a “What difference does it make now?”
You left out ‘based on 2012 data’
wonder if priebus is off the reservation - also this originated with yahoo news - so, is it real or is it memorex?
If I was Russia (or any other nation), I’d attempt to hack the Dems too. I expect our own intel agencies tried to hack the Dems. It is the job of every intelligence agency to get information on other countries. I’m sure the CIANSAFBIetc etc etc have tried hacking into every political party in every country.
B) Who did they release the info to?
C) Who reported the info?
The so-called hacking was done by “gamers.” Google the phrase “GamerGate. “The officials already know this but it is too embarrassing for them to say. Here is how we know this:
https://twitter.com/KimDotcom (his pinned tweet explains why) Our US State Department went after him and destroyed him financially & personally. He was part of “gamergate” and this was deliberate, designed for revenge against HRC, since she ran the State Dept. It’s worth mentioning that he warned something like this was coming for WEEKS ahead of time.
This is an archived thing of what was going on contemporaneously as Podestas emails came online. You can tell by just the salty/bad language that these were college kids. You will feel like you’re in a high school locker room just by reading it. Since I was on my way out the door for my graveyard shift, I called another person and told them to monitor this while I was out. The links contained were disabled soon, but they now sit over on Wikileaks as they were sent over there as soon as the posters found them. You’ll note the fear of the posters having found the stuff and the secondary fear of them being lost in space. They trusted NO msm outlet to do the right thing.
You will also notice that most of the posters are American and Canadian. But from many other countries as well. Russia is not particularly well represented.
Read it for yourselves, folks. It’s all crap. THIS is how Podestas emails made it to the public.
The Fake News Media is just as complicit, if not more so, than Russia (if Russia is complicit at all) by virtue of the fact that they passed along the info wikileaks leaked.
Exactly. It appears Reuters is playing games by intentionally confusing “Russian entities” with the Russian government. The Reuters paraphrase says Priebus said Trump accepted that “Moscow” was behind the hacks, but that is NOT what Priebus said or meant.
Then told them that if they do withdraw...they will be last on the list for trade deals.
The response to these inane questions should be perhaps they did but the bigger question remains was anything divulged not true and if not quite a bit of what was divulged indicates criminal behavior.
“Mistake. Never surrender to liberals. Ever.”
Trump isn’t your feckless GOP-e.
Remember when he said he accepted that Obamagumbe was not born in Kenya?
Like giving babies their pacifier, they, their GOP allies and the MSM dropped the relentless “Racist!” mau-mauing.
He doesn’t believe Obama is a NBC or that the Cossacks influenced the election.
He just pulled the rug out from under them again.
The truth of this doesn’t matter now. It has become a political weapon for the Rats/MSM/GOPe and the truth cannot get communicated through tweets, it’s not enough.Trump will have to figure the best way to use it against them. He could use it to push election system reform and since he will 4 years to control the direction he can make them regret their treachery.
Kellyanne just admitted that Russia tried to help Trump win. Just plain stupid. This gives the dems and the media four years to claim Hillary actually won. They sure won’t accept Kelly Anne’s claim.
Trump never said this Reince did because he gets nervous when being questioned by these piece of trash news outlets. Even so he still didn’t fully accept the narrative. I tend to agree, I’ll wait for Trump to tweet, barring that this story remains untrue. They are frustrated that Trump isn’t going to be bullied into another wa. Kellyann was on another show and just reflected for 15 mins. Reince was weak today, that’s all. They couple Russia and China in virtually every response which is the Right approach
It’s a lie. Why accept it?
You really think Priebus would have said this without Trump's approval? Not bloody likely.
Kellyanne just admitted that Russia tried to help Trump win
Wow, huge mistake. No matter the context because that will be lost. What will survive is the Russians helped Trump. You cannot surrender anything to these bastards. Dumb really dumb.
