sounds to me like trump is in cahoots with putin / russia
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. President-elect Donald J. Trump said Americans should get on with our lives in comments to reporters before Thursdays expected White House announcement that the United States will retaliate against Russia for its election-year hacking of Democratic Party computers.
Obama administration officials plan to announce a series of measures in response to the Russian meddling in the election, which could include publicly announced economic sanctions and secret countermeasures in cyberspace.
Asked late Wednesday night at his Mar-a-Lago estate about President Obamas plans to take action against Russia and its president, Vladimir V. Putin, Mr. Trump was dismissive. He appeared to concede the need to make computers more secure, but was vague about how that related to a possible response to Russia.
I think we ought to get on with our lives, he said. I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on. We have speed, we have a lot of other things, but Im not sure we have the kind, the security we need.

He knows who and what was done and is trying to sweep his corruption under the rug.

That computer's lives were so complicated. In fact, I thought that computers weren't alive! But, now that Trump has said it, it must be true!
