President-elect Donald Trump’s team is mocking a CIA intelligence briefing reported by the Washington Post that suggests Russians were secretly working to elect Donald Trump.
“These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction,” the Trump transition team replied in a statement to reporters, directly challenging the CIA assessment.
But the Trump team also challenged Democrats who are working behind the scenes to highlight the Russian involvement with the election, in what may be an attempt to undermine the validity of the election results.
Some Republicans are challenging the assessment, pointing to a lack of evidence.
“I’ll be the first one to come out and point at Russia if there’s clear evidence, but there is no clear evidence — even now,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) told the Post. “There’s a lot of innuendo, lots of circumstantial evidence, that’s it.”

Tough talk on our military and intelligence branches from someone who's never served.
The Russians put up all those signs in people's yards up and down Rt 50.
Trump supporters are funny folks...they spend all year claiming that the election was "rigged" by George Soros and the Democrats...and now are denying that Russia, which employed Trump's first campaign director and funneled millions into his campaign...now we have even the most rightwing military and intelligence communities with proof...and what do they do? Claim the election was free and fair......
Russians hijacked minds of more than 100 millions Americans to vote for Trump, WOW! Those Ruskis are good.
Then why isn't Congress investigating it? Trump is not President yet so they don't need his permission. It's because it's B.S.
