Trump inaccurately questions Russia’s hacking in misspelled tweet

Posted by | December 15, 2016 11:47 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

You can tell when Trump is doing his own tweets because not everything in them is actual words.

The president-elect returned to Twitter on Thursday morning, again questioning the Central Intelligence Agency’s conclusion that Russia inserted itself into the election to help the Republican nominee win.

If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House waite so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Dec. 15, 2016

In point of fact, virtually everything in the tweet is misleading — including the spelling of “wait.”

On Oct. 7, the Obama administration formally accused Russia of being behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, of stealing emails from Democrats including Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, and of leaking them to the public through WikiLeaks and other outlets.

“We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities,” the statement said.

The complaints were loud enough that Mrs. Clinton brought them up in the debates, eliciting Mr. Trump’s famous response, “No puppet … no puppet … you’re the puppet.”

      ummm…some polling is indicating there is a jump in popularity for Putin within the gop…they LIKE him…this is going to be a long, long, LONG winter…I cannot see past that…I have no future…the GOP is writing that up right now…I wonder if this is how a fighter in Aleppo feels right about now…nothing left to lose, other than one’s own life…

        I wish I didn’t agree with you.

        There’s always hope … even for fighters in Aleppo.
        Three universe has a way of righting itself, (given time) let’s just hope we live long enough to see that day. In the meantime, never stop resisting (your advice a post or two up) :)

        FoKKKs Spews has been “admiring” Putin for years. Giuliani is a big Putin fan. There was a bunch of them that would talk about how Putin would quickly and decisively handle situations, unlike Obama. Then they started comparing Trump to Putin, sayingTrump would be “strong” like Putin.
