    Trump says in a phone interview with The New York Times that the emphasis on hacking accusations is driven by adversaries embarrassed that they lost the presidential election.

    “They got beaten very badly in the election,” Trump tells the Times. “They are very embarrassed about it. To some extent, it’s a witch hunt. They just focus on this.”

    Trump had not yet been briefed on intelligence findings — which the U.S. has said overwhelmingly point to Russian interference in the election. He’ll be briefed Friday by senior U.S. intelligence officials.

    One major thing in this hacking business is that obama lost his position in the war over Aleppo to the russians that were on the winning side and this is his revenge.

    Whoever it was that made the emails public, be it the Russians, Wikileaks, the Chinese, or some pimply faced teenager hacking away at his key board at 2am, America owes them a debt of gratitude for exposing the Clintons, the DNC and the rest of those scoundrels
