Ya know, if I were the new President I'd be concerned that a foreign power was meddling in our elections. I'd be pissed at them, rather than blaming the messenger. I'd want to get to the bottom of this before real damage is done. You know, uphold my duty to protect the country and all.

But, hey that's me.

It will be fun watching former cold warriors and self described patriots here on the exchange and elsewhere falling all over themselves to cover the Russian's ass. It's all about sticking with your tribe, da?


Donald Trump takes aim at US Intelligence

(CNN)President-elect Donald Trump's transition team slammed the CIA Friday, following reports the agency has concluded that Russia intervened in the election to help him win.

In a stunning response to widening claims of a Russian espionage operation targeting the presidential race, Trump's camp risked an early feud with the Intelligence community on which he will rely for top secret assessments of the greatest threats facing the United States.

"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," the transition said in a terse, unsigned statement.
"The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again.'"

The sharp pushback to revelations in The Washington Post, which followed an earlier CNN report on alleged Russian interference in the election, represented a startling rebuke from an incoming White House to the CIA.
