Scaramucci: Trump still doesn't accept intelligence conclusion on Russia

[spanone]

hopefully one day he'll still be denying it from a jail cell.

Washington (CNN)Newly minted White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that President Donald Trump still does not accept the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election.

"He basically said to me, 'Hey you know, this is, maybe they did it, maybe they didn't do it,'" Scaramucci said of a recent conversation he'd had with the President about alleged Russian interference.

Prior to Trump's inauguration, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an unclassified report showing the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency all concluded the Russian government attempted to influence the election to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Trump.

Scaramucci suggested Trump does not yet accept the conclusion of the intelligence community and questioned the media's pursuit of the story ,saying it tarnished Trump's victory in November.

2. this is really hard to believe, doesn't the president rely on these people for his 'intelligence'?

but then he does know more than the generals....maybe that because putin filled him in.

4. Trump knows so much more than the generals that he put them in charge.

Which was Trump's way of claiming "he won't own it" when things go wrong.

Had the intel agencies said Russia was aiding Clinton, he would be praising them constantly.

He only attacks their conclusions because it calls into question his legitimacy.

We all know that, I know.

5. Nope. He gets his Intel straight from Faux News and Breitbart. With a soupcon of Alex Jones.

But the best Intel as far as he's concerned is from his pal Putin.
