Asked about Trump’s statement that Russia could have been behind the hacking -- something Moscow has repeatedly denied -- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump had highlighted “equally the possibility that it could have been other countries. Please note the nuances.”

2. Trump is a coward...he'd rather trash IC and ex US President than Putin

Someone should ask him if he is the legitimate US President..

3. In the 1950's, at best, Trump would have been called a communist dupe

At worst, he'd be in the electric chair with the Rosenbergs.

How in the hell can't people see what's going on with Trump's refusal to ever criticize Putin? It's so dam obvious!

4. Trump acts like the hacking of our democracy is no big deal...

He brushes it off again and again. It's astounding that he's allowed to minimize the whole thing.

5. Goes to show that in fact Russia did, and t-rump just confirmed it.

6. I don't know about Russias other efforts, but Podesta fell victim to a phishing email scam.

Any idiot hacker could have pulled it off. It didn't require sophisticated state-level operations. This wasn't something like stuxnet.
