Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/817164923843280896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Trump is complaining that a news organization is doing its job. Acquiring information from trusted sources and informing the public is a suspicious activity in Trump&#8217;s mind. That is, unless it&#8217;s Julian Assange who is doing it. But it&#8217;s not surprising that Trump would want this information to be suppressed. The consensus conclusion from the Intel agencies is that Russia was positively involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee and other targets. Their aim was to interfere with the U.S. electoral process generally, and to help Trump specifically. Among the evidence cited was the interception of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-russia-cyber-celebrate-idUSKBN14P2NI\" target=\"_blank\">revealing communications<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Senior Russian officials celebrated Donald Trump&#8217;s election victory as a geopolitical win for Moscow, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing U.S. officials who said intercepted communications showed the Russians congratulating themselves on the outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The ebullient reaction among high-ranking Russian officials &#8211; including some who U.S. officials believe had knowledge of the country&#8217;s cyber campaign to interfere in the U.S. election &#8211; contributed to the U.S. intelligence community&#8217;s assessment that Moscow&#8217;s efforts were aimed at least in part at helping Trump win the White House, the Post reported.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The fact that the Russians were patting themselves on the back for a job well done is pretty damning evidence of intention. But Trump&#8217;s response ignored that entirely. He was more interested in raising doubts about the reliability of the intelligence. So he tweeted:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Democratic National Committee would not allow the FBI to study or see its computer info after it was supposedly hacked by Russia&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/817168818539757568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on is that Trump&#8217;s assertions were predictably off-base. The DNC addressed these issues and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/alimwatkins\/the-fbi-never-asked-for-access-to-hacked-computer-servers\" target=\"_blank\">told BuzzFeed<\/a><\/strong> that they dispute these claims and that they fully cooperated. They assert that the FBI did not ask for access to the servers. The DNC provided the FBI with all the information they had from the cyber security firm that examined their systems. That firm, CrowdStrike, has a stellar reputation and was was considered a reliable source by the FBI.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So once again, Trump goes off the rails to rant about things unrelated to the primary news.
