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.
Where’s the proof?
Now what’s he sposed to do? Turn down the presidency and turn it over to the b!tch?
Now Donald J. Trump go after tem.
The only thing they accused they were blackmailing Hillary
Listed Two Russian TV shows that were not even on or were at the time of the Election
And she already was under investigation on more than one front.
Really? Prebus is still a Hack.
I agree 100%. Trump should have taken a page from the liberal playbook, and just delayed. Perhaps he should have said that we need time for investigation. Then after many months have past, just call it "old news".
No good can come of talking about it now.
Is this real news or fake news?
Trump strategy: Strategically accept, insofar as it is useless to do anything else, and impossible to gainsay it all, until he is sworn in. Why keep the nonsense roiling endlessly. See what is flushed out and take notes.

Consider the source and how many other times something was reported as Trump backing up and it turned out to be bull shit.
The hack narrative is now couched in a larger influence campaign, RT videos and social media trolls.
Rooters and Rinsewater, I’ll wait for a Trump Tweet.
Could be a way to bring closure to the whole thing...
Picking his battles. He-said, she-said over something no one can prove is pointless. Anyone who thinks the Russians and every other foreign power are NOT cyber-attacking us on a daily basis is naive. It is the most cost-effective way to gather intelligence imaginable, and you only have to hit paydirt like an idiot like Podesta only once in a million times for it to be worthwhile.
Any allegation that it “infleuenced the election” is and always will be conjecture that is impossible to prove. Trump knows this and knows it’s pointless to engage in discussing it.
Priebus is GOPe.
All he knows to do is this kind of unmerited surrender.
Tend to agree on this.
