Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the Obama administration of trying to “definitively destroy U.S. -Russia relations which have already reached a low”.

“So he is privy to information that nobody else is”, “Spicer said”. Harry Hurt III, author of a 1993 book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump” posted on Facebook Saturday that he approached Trump to congratulate him on his presidential victory and they got into a testy exchange.
“I think he’ll probably be tweeting from both, or whatever he chooses”, Spicer said.
The president-elect teased that come Tuesday or Wednesday, he will reveal those things that people don’t know.
“You know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way”, Trump said, according to Al Jazeera”.
“It’s baffling. President-elect Trump does not have any better information than President Obama”, US Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told MSNBC on Monday.
It occurs to me that one thing Trump could do, a la his alleged birth-certificate investigation, is claim that he has his own private hacking experts who have looked into the DNC and Podesta matters and concluded that it was some other state actor who was behind it, not Russian Federation.
The comments came after the president-elect was asked about charges by the Obama administration and the United States intelligence community that Russian Federation was behind the cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee. “Hacking is a very hard thing to prove”.
US intelligence officials said that they are confident Russian-backed hackers were behind alleged USA election hacks, saying they could have played a role in Trump defeating Hillary Clinton.
Mr Trump spoke to reporters for four minutes before entering the New Year’s party.
Trump will inherit the official presidential account once he officially takes office later this month. “They say Russian Federation is excellent”, he said at a July 29 town hall event in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“It’s only until Donald Trump won that [the Obama administration seems] to want to react to Russian Federation”, he continued. His election has not changed the frequency or tone of his tweets. His new year’s Twitter message specifically mentioned his “enemies” and sore losers. Trump called Kerry’s speech “very unfair”.

As we discussed the other day, the president-elect is effectively declaring that he does not care about a foreign adversary’s attack on our democracy.
