Trump spokesman: We need to talk about punishing Clinton for trying to influence the election
Trumps new press secretary, Sean Spicer, is deflecting questions about the influence of Russian hacking on the 2016 election arguing instead that people should talk about on punishing Hillary Clinton for trying to influence the election.
Spicer was asked if President-elect Trump accepts the conclusion of seventeen U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia was responsible for the hacks that sought to damage Clintons bid for the presidency.
Why arent we talking about the other influences on the election? Why arent we talking about Hillary Clinton getting debate questions ahead of time? Spicer said in response.
No one is asking those questions. The fact is that everyone wants to make Donald Trump admit to certain things. When do we talk about the other side, which is what did Hillary Clinton do to influence the election? Is she being punished?

And if she got offers, god alone knows who else.
Spicer knows what goes on, so he needs to STFU. Trump Team's attempts to change course on this makes me even more suspicious.

At some point, Hillary will need to sue them for harassment and slander.
