Aide downplays Trump hacking revelation

Source: The Hill

Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday tamped down expectations that President-elect Donald Trump will reveal new details about alleged Russian hacking during the U.S. presidential election in the coming days.

“It’s not a question of necessarily revealing,” Spicer said on CNN’s “New Day.”

“He’s going to talk about his conclusions and where he thinks things stand. He’s not going to reveal anything that was privileged or was shared with him classified. I think he can share with people his conclusions of the report and his understanding of the situation and make sure people understand there’s a lot of questions out there. “

Trump said during a New Year’s Eve celebration on Saturday that he knows “things that other people don’t know.” Trump did not offer details when pressed about what he knows, saying only that, “You’ll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

It's getting to the point, like during the early years with children, that they start with a lie.


I don't think his parents ever corrected him. His parents are the reason for him being a fuck up!

This, to me, makes it obvious that he knows the Russians helped him get into the White House.

once they realized nothing new was coming? What might Trump spill to keep his face on screen?
It'd be fun to see the press play HIM for once, instead of just being used over and over ad nauseum.
