Everyone watching last night had to be taken by the brazen crap from Donald Trump on Russian hacking.
“Maybe there is no hacking,” he said, adding, “I know nothing about Russia.”
Well, he pissed off the wrong people with that.
Over at CNBC.com they just posted and article titled Trump told "Russia to blame for hacks before the debate"
A senior U.S. intelligence official assured NBC News that cybersecurity and the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election have been briefed to, and discussed extensively with, both parties' candidates, surrogates and leadership, since mid-August. "To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation," said the official. "The intelligence community has walked a very thin line in not taking sides, but both candidates have all the information they need to be crystal clear."
Donald, I understand you want to piss off the Republicans — but pissing off the intelligence community with your purported ties to Russia.
DUMB
Article goes on:
On August 17, Trump got the first private briefing from U.S. intelligence officers to which he is entitled as the Republican nominee.
As NBC News previously reported, classified materials prepared for Trump and Hillary Clinton's first briefing and examined by NBC News showed U.S. officials had drawn "direct links" between Vladimir Putin's government and the recent hacks and e-mail leaks.
"It's common practice for all things in the briefing book to be used in the briefing," said one U.S. official.
Since then, said an intelligence official, Trump and Clinton have had a second briefing, and their transition teams have received additional briefings on the Russian hack.
Donald, your short term memory must be being screwed with by your sniffles. Just saying.
