Trump derides report on Russian Hack
Following the US presidential election hacking saga that has continually pointed her fore accusing fingers to the Russian government in her complicity, president-elect Donald Trump have refused to believe the case despite the report by the US intelligent agency which stated unequivocally the grand conspiracy of Russian hackers in the manipulation of the US cyber system during the 2016 November general election. Before the election, when 17 US intelligence agencies issued a public
statement concluding that Russia orchestrated the hack of the Democratic
National Committee, Trump immediately cast doubt on those conclusions,
arguing it was impossible to distinguish between a Russian government
operative and "somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds."
President elect Donald Trump who took voraciously to his most loved channel of communication dissemination went hard on the intelligence agency report, calling it unfathomable while casting doubt about their gathering of facts and intelligence base.
It will be recal that the Russians have been accused of infiltrating the democratic national convention server emails where it leaked several classified documents about top ranked party members including that of the campaign director of Hillary Clinton's John Podesta whose server was hacked prior to the general elections.
After president Obama's clamped down punishment on the Russian government for their notorious role played during the presidential election, Trump took to his Twitter handle as he showers praises on the Russian leaders for his show of an unprecedented leadership charisma not to retaliate the sanction been melted on them by the Obama administration.
"Our country should move on to bigger and better things" he said. "I have always known Putin to be very smart" he ended.

The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!
While it is quite strange that the 45th president of the United States will be questioning the decision of an agency he will be relying solely on as commander in chief for their intelligence inputs, it becomes very seemingly clear Mr. Trump statement during the campaign when he said" He knows more than the Generals do". Well, that may just be the crippling effect here as president-elect Trump takes sides with Wikileaks director Julian Assange who said anybody could have been involved in this process of hacking.
Trump tweeted Wednesday,
"Julian Assange said 'a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta' - why
was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!"

Trump said last week that he would
receive an intelligence briefing on the Russian breaches this week and
suggested it would come early on, telling reporters on New Year's Eve
that they would know more about the subject "Tuesday or Wednesday."
But US intelligence officials disputed Trump's tweet alleging a delay.

US intelligence officials have been scheduled to brief Trump on the
full report on Russian hacking President Barack Obama ordered once it
was completed, but the meeting was not set to take place until later in
the week, according to US officials.

Former CIA director James Woolsey, an
adviser to Trump on national security issues, told CNN's Jim Sciutto
that determining who was behind the hacks is difficult, but that he
believes the Russians -- and possibly others -- were involved.
"I
think the Russians were in there, but it doesn't mean other people
weren't, too," he said. "It's often not foolproof to say who it is
because it is possible and sometimes easy to hide your tracks. There's
lots of tricks."
