Saw this late last night. Talk about the foxes guarding the hen house. And in other news:

Adviser contradicts Trump: Russians hacked the US - CNNPolitics.com

Yet Trump still rejects and disses on the US intelligent community as to not upset his bromance with Putin.

He has every reason to honestly. At least if you are looking at the actual facts.

This isn't about the election (although I do believe that the emails and the FBI's handling of the situation certainly cost Clinton some votes).



If Reagan was alive he'd be punching Trump in the mouth.

Thankfully this was stopped due to public outcry. My initial thoughts were "I guess that's what I should be expecting for the next 4 years, guess I should just get used to everyone letting this happen as if there's no way to change it". I'm very pleased there is still public outcry and that can still affect what is happening. It's a small glimmer of hope. I really thought republicans would start doing whatever they wanted, given that there has been this attitude of "we don't really want this stuff to happen, but it is, so oh well". Compare this to bipartisan outrage at things like the Watergate scandal - our blase reaction and inept path forward to recent issues (ie Russia cyberwarfare) that have arguably been worse than Watergate has been really disheartening. Clearly, Republicans are testing the waters of what they can get away with - we will lose a lot, but at least people are still paying attention.
