Related: About this forumRussia's involvement in U.S. election was personally headed by Putin and Trump
Donald Trump denied Russian involvement despite being briefed on the evidence multiple times. Now the White House indicates that Trump may have already known Russia was involved, and that his request for Putin to hack Hillary Clintons email was far from a joke.

(13,564 posts)... one of those cases where someone giddily has trouble keeping a big secret, and lets slip with a little taunting hint. The secret being, of course, that the Russians already were doing that very thing.
Same with his constant claims that the election was rigged...

(29,287 posts)Why didn't President Obama allow DNI to brief the 56 electors who wanted to be briefed about the Russian interference in the election?
(From December 16, 2016)
NO INTEL BRIEFING FOR ELECTORS, DNI SAYS
http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/16/politics/no-intel-briefing-for-electors-dni-says/
President Obama said "NO" to Intel briefing for the 56 electors who wanted the briefing.
Although it would have been a "long shot"..it is possible that at least 37 electors pledged to Trump might have cast their votes for HRC, if they had been given the briefing.
(In that case, we would be celebrating the presidency of Hillary Clinton tomorrow, instead of that child-raper)
