What do you think Trump's attitude about Russian hacking will be after his briefing?

I think that if he still expresses skepticism, something's up. Like the fear C.I.A or N.S.A. will come across something he wants to hide so that he can call their "false" allegations revenge for calling them out on Russian hacking.

I'm sure he'll come out of the briefing as "a great fan of the intelligence community; none greater," but the tell will be his take on Russian hacking.

It really doesn't matter what he will be saying after the meeting. The crime has been committed and he was complicit.

7. Personally, I think it's his ego that won't let him admit the hack.

He won because he's the bestest, most tremendous candidate ever, & certainly didn't win because of a hack.

A spoiled man-child is about to occupy the highest office of the land.

"In the spirit of cooperation with the intelligence community (which I admire by the way), I'm not going to talk about it anymore."
