Conway defends Trump over hacking statements

By Daniella Diaz, CNN

 

Washington (CNN)Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, defended Monday his statements questioning Russia's role in hacking aimed to influence the 2016 election.

 

"The President-elect receives intelligence briefings that you and I are not privy to, Anderson," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "Anderson Cooper 360." "Additionally, he just is noting there are unnamed sources, people talking to the press, instead of attending House Intelligence committee briefings where they have been invited."

 

Trump stands apart from the US intelligence community over whether Russia was behind the hacking aimed at meddling with the US election.

Wait a minute.  He says he doesn't need this and doesn't attend them.  Somebody's zooming somebody here.  Unreal.

Trump Ignoring US Intelligence Creates Risks Beyond Russian Hacking

 

Observers and alumni of America’s intelligence community have already fretted over Donald Trump’s impending control of the world’s most powerful spy agencies. They’ve worried that he could abuse their heady surveillance capabilities, turn them on his personal enemies, revamp the NSA’s mass surveillance programs, and strip away domestic privacy protections once in charge. But before Trump has even taken office, he’s already found a less expected way to abuse the US intelligence community: Ignore, contradict, and insult it.

 

 

I'm having less and less respect for this guy every day.

[Pib]

Donald don't need intelligence briefings because he's so durn smart already....he knows it all....he has instinct...etc...etc....etc....just ask him.  

 

Come Jan 20 when he actually becomes President and has a few glory weeks after rescinding some of Obama's executive orders, I'm sure he will find out the swamp he is trying to drain and refill with his billionaire supporters will still have plenty of alligators left to cause him some severe and deep bites.   Donald is in for big surprise and his mouthpieces such as Kellyanne Conway will be tap dancing, clarifying, rephrasing, walking-back Donald comments & tweets on a daily basis.

I knew very little about Trump until just before the elections.  The campaign was terrible and I avoided all news.  He's a very successful businessman.  Gotta give him respect for that.  Until you dig a bit deeper and find out some dodgy things that were done.  LOL

[ehs818]

Liar liar, pants on fire. Come on Kellyanne. Trump himself says he hasn't been taking those meeting because he thinks he doesn't need them. He's so smart, right? This reckless man is going to create his own problems, deal with them in an irresponsible way, and get everyone killed. After he takes away their freedom of speech, their money, and the remaining self respect they have. Oh, I'm so gld to not be living in the US now.

[canda]

trump & Intelligence is an Oxymoron,

 

Speaking of oxymoron s... he's kind of like the male version of the super - smart ('PLEASE EXPLAIN') Pauline Hanson of Australian politics.....

I thought his superior mind was bypassing intelligence briefings. Kellyanne Conway the attack dog with the eternal smile on her face.

It seems that every time Trump tweets something or says something, Ms Conway has to spend a lot of time defending him or telling us all we miss-understood what he said.  All this and he hasn't even got into office yet.  God help you America!

Kanye West is a very successful businessman, would you therefore regard him as suitable Presidential material?

 

Respect is not for people who inherited a lot of money and managed not to lose it. It has to be earned.

This idiot, who ran a bent university and managed to lose money owning a casino, has not earned a cents worth respect.

Check it out. Ronald Reagon and Trump were the oldest ever

elected Presidents of the USA. A new myth connects them.

Trump as the new Reagon to save America.

Stupid nonsens. They have only one thing in common: Reagon passed away with Alzheimer,

Trump is on the way.

Irony is dead:
Trump, the birther-in-chief spent years denying Obama's legitimacy. Now his spokeswoman, Conway, is going around bitching that Democrats, with their Russian hacking talk are trying to make Trump seem illegitimate.

And if you are not dead in line with Comrade Donald, then seems you are on the "outs". He just booted a senior security adviser that wasn't in line with the no Russian influence theory.

And per late breaking 6 Jan news, Trump will be asking Congress (i.e., the U.S. taxpayer) to pay for his Great Wall, not Mexico.  He'll say Mexico will reimburse the U.S. later.    And I'm sure Trump supporters will believe that line of BS also.   

 

Kellyanne Conway will now be selling how Mexico will pay for Donald's Great Wall via reimbursement.

Trump needs no advisers, he constantly claims he knows everything better than any expert.

Sorry Kellyanne, but it just doesn't wash.

CNBC political reporter friend of Hillary and Democratic party sychophant John Harwood took to Twitter last night to ask the question

"Who do you believe America? Wikileaks, or US Intel Officials?"

The response, which emerged from his immediate following which one would surmise, should gravitate toward Harwood's liberal ideology and thus respond in a way Harwood expected, was yet another slap in the face for the establishment's perspective on how the world should really run.
