#4 I still think that a disgruntled DNC партком person(s), perhaps of the Bernie persuasion, was responsible for the Donk Central Committee email leaks, not the russkies.

#5 Maybe Wikileaks has some evidence to back up the Dem claims?

#6 I think a Keystone Cops graphic might be more appropriate for this post.

#7 The dems have painted themselves in a corner on this one. They had no problem with barky ignoring intelligence briefings, but they will screech if Trump discounts CIA emanations. Hypocrites always...

#8 Wikileaks has evidence of Dem corruption that they must censor and ban at all costs....

The Dems won't be on the dance floor with Wikileaks anytime soon.

M. Murcek,

Perhaps I've heard one too many conspiracy theories, but maybe this is a stoke of genius on Trump's part:

1. "We'll tell Trump in the briefings that we've got vague concerns about Russian hacking. Then we'll go public saying 'Trump knew' but hasn't done anything about it. Makes him look bad."
2. Trump says, "Sorry. I only want specific briefings, and we'll tell you which ones," or, "I'll let you know when I want to hear the brief."
3. Dems/CIA: "How can we discredit or undermine Trump if he won't cooperate??? We'll tell everybody that there's a direct link!!"
4. "Really? Told POTUS yet? Gimme details."
5. "Ummmmmm....sorry, don't have good insight. Magic 8-ball says 'Ask me again later.'"

Mike

#11 My guess (and only a guess) is Trump has already established his own intelligence fusion and reporting cell. Getting a weekly Klingon dump (or as often as needed - they're only an hour away) verifies or refutes his own cell.

Under the existing circumstances and track record, that's what most of us would do.

BTW, that's what Rumsfeld and others have done.

#12 Attention s/b given to Clinton "homebrew" and open-to-compromise server.

Self-inflicted problem - too bad, Ms. Clinton.

btw, John McCain and Lindsey Graham blow - "Never Trumpers" stirring the pot. Cannot be trusted. Ever.

#13 Weasel Zippers: FBI Does Not Believe There Is Evidence To Support Claim About Russian Interference

"FBI is saying evidence isn’t there. And this isn’t about the vote itself, it’s about the DNC hack. Which had already been claimed, before the election, so we factored it or didn’t in our votes already. So what Democratic attempt is actually giving Russia what they want- a vehicle by which to attack our elections."
