Donald Trump Keeps Blaming Everybody But Russia For Election Hacking

Unsurprisingly, Trump and his whole team have been dismissive of the assessment, and seem to hope the CIA allegations will simply disappear. In the meantime, they’ve been throwing shade at the U.S. intelligence community and blaming everyone but the Russian government, Russian hackers, and President Trump’s natural ally Vladimir Putin.

On Fox News Sunday this weekend, the Republican president-elect swatted away the serious questions raised by The Washington Post and the Central Intelligence Agency.

“I think it’s ridiculous...just another excuse,” Trump told host Chris Wallace. “I don’t believe it. I don’t know why. They talk about all sorts of things…We had a massive landslide victory—in the Electoral College…So, no, I don’t believe it at all.”
As the interview carried on, Trump kept dodging the issue, weirdly claiming that “once they hack, if you don’t catch them in the act, you’re not gonna catch them.” Regarding who “they” could be, Trump was not interested in even entertaining the notion of Russian involvement put forth by intelligence officials, and preferred to blame “somebody in a bed someplace.”
