CNN host speechless after Trump spokesman admits they have no response to possible Russian hacking

President-elect Donald Trump’s spokesman Sean Spicer unloaded on CNN host Alisyn Camerota on Monday’s “New Day.” In a typical interview, Camerota hammered Spicer, who refused to relent to facts or even polite niceties.

Camerota asked Spicer what Trump knows that the rest of the world doesn’t when it comes to the Russian hacks. Spicer claimed that Trump is privy to a lot of “classified information, intelligence reports.” However, Trump admitted he’s not received an intelligence briefing on the Russian hacks and would do so this week. Spicer also claimed that Trump is getting briefed daily by his national security team, but Trump’s team also admitted that Trump is only taking his daily briefings a few times a week.

Spicer insisted that the intelligence report isn’t a final one and Trump plans to wait until it is final to conclude anything. This also seems to go against anything Trump has said in the past several days about the Russian hacks. The president-elect has said time and time again that the Russians were not behind it and called the CIA’s reliability into question because they were wrong on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Camerota refused to let Trump off the hook. “I said alleged hacking,” she clarified. “I want to get back to my question. Is Mr. Trump, who said he’s going to reveal something, he says he knows things.”

1. They're so bush league

[spanone]

2. he knows shit.

[Xipe Totec]

17. By look, smell, texture, and taste. nt

[Thinkingabout]

3. Trump does have access to lots of classified information, problem is he is not receiving this

information. I guess this is a way for Trump to continue with his denial of Russian hacking occurring because he has not received the security briefings. This sounds like a small child in denial, he is playing school yard bully pulpit.

His spokes persons have ask for the bashing of Trump to stop, using Trump's reasoning of if he is attacked he will attack back, well guess what, there have been many groups who have been bashed by Trump, so we attack him on his actions and words.

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Trump knows he's swimming in Putin's colon.

Trump has no loyalties to the US. He's beholden to Russia. He's a Russian Asset. They have him over a barrel. He can't display antagonism toward Putin or Russia. He can't oppose Russia because he can't bite the hand that feeds him. Putin has mountains of material for blackmail. They know what kind of toilet paper Trump uses, for God's sake.

And the media? Jeez. They're as complicit as Trump and McConnell. This is a scandal and a string of treasonous crimes so numerous and dangerous that no one DARE describe it the way it actually is. Leadership in both parties absolutely refuses to acknowledge what's happened: Putin has engineered a coup. He got his lackey into the White House and has surrounded him with a small contingent of Russian assets.

31. You are right on the money!!!

Welcome to DU...

[Takket]

4. the CIA wasn't "wrong" on WMD

Bushco took one piece of intelligence that was stated to be unreliable and ran with it.

using Iraq as an excuse to discount Russia's hack is comparing apples to oranges. the media should be calling them out on that.

[WiffenPoof]

8. Exactly!. NT

[Fla Dem]

11. Agreed. It was all smoke and mirrors. Harrassed the intelligence agencies until they were able to

give Cheney a smidgen of intel that might have indicated WMD's. The whole UN show was a made up dog and pony show. Remember these faked photos?

[DK504]

15. Cheney and Bush flat out

ignored all Intelligence agencies and there reports. Those they didn't like got outted and their lives turned upside down. Cheney is a traitor and never allowed any thoughts other than his own to be voiced.

[notdarkyet]

29. One source.

Curveball.

[spanone]

18. this morning on m$nbc the reporter said this 'issue' really pisses off the CIA

it points out how ignorant the trump is and how he's willing to run with a lie.

[uponit7771]

23. And that's the reason they're not belived we know more than they do!!!

[LuvLoogie]

27. The media will never call the Trumps on that lie.

The media was complicit in selling the WMD bullshit coming from the Bush. WE have to call the media on that. They helped to gin up that war. That's why they let that "wrong on WMD" lie slide. It's disgusting.

[maddiemom]

30. I wish this correction would be made every time the C.I.A. is blamed by the Trumpites

for the WMD claim.

[2naSalit]

32. But then is the worm infested mind(s) of this team

they are telling the truth in a convoluted way... there was no "wrong" by the Intel agencies on Iraq WMDs, and they know it but framing their argument by comparing that lie to the new lie it makes two negatives which end up as a positive. It's so simple...

(I'm beginning to think a jumping off a cliff emo-gee is needed here.)

5. I think I understand the Trump process.

Step one: Wait for the final report to prepare any public statement or policy.

Step Two: Create obstacles to any investigation that would eventually culminate in a final report.

Shit. How did this guy graduate from any academic institution?

[LittleGirl]

10. Shit. How did this guy graduate from any academic institution?

Daddy, I'm sure.

[bora13]

21. college degree

sometimes you run across someone who you know went to college
and graduated yet has an IQ of a newborn, nothing but the id and brain stem functioning.

[Wounded Bear]

25. I think they call it a "gentleman's C".....

they get an honorary grade and degree that doesn't affect the curve. The "student" gets the degree, the college gets the money.

[Pluvious]

33. Kinna like waiting for IRS tax audit to

... be completed before sharing his returns with the voters.

Yeah... Thad be great.

Why, must we always be the stupid Country ?!!

[kentuck]

6. In retrospect, these people may look like traitors?

Defending the impossible and the lies from their sick and unstable leader.

[EricMaundry]

7. It will be interesting to see ...

... how Republicans like McCain take this on. Will he stock it to Trump? That would be a good indication of how things might go this year.

[Fla Dem]

9. Sean Spicer, another speed talker like Kelly Ann. So annoying to listen to.

I heard the interview over Sirius. Alisyn Camerota held her own against the rapid fire talk of Spicer. She kept trying to get him back on point. He kept trying to deflect. Any sane person listening would have to say he was just uttering a mouthful of bullshit.

[TeddyBear 1]

12. Fox News

It really does not help matters when FoxNews runs stories that also doubt the Russian hacking.. Where exactly are people suppose to get honest reporting?? So frustrating and such a mess that news organisations just can't report actual news anymore..

[panader0]

13. I watched that and was amazed.

Spicer claiming that tRump gets daily briefings.
Spicer will alienate the press and he will pay for it.
The tRump administration is off to a horrible start.

[They_Live]

14. Donald "I KNOW A LOT ABOUT HACKING." Trump

He's always "fake it until you make it...then fuggetaboutit". Always. What a dickweed.

[Tanuki]

19. Alisyn Camerota is the same one who shut Kellyanne Conway's mouth

during the campaign by asking if Trump would produce a letter from the IRS confirming that he was actually under audit, as he kept claiming that as an excuse for not releasing his taxes. For once, Kremlin Kelly had no glib pivot, but looked shocked and said "Whaat?!" Alisyn repeated the question, at which point Kremlin Kelly recovered enough to go on the attack with "Are you accusing him of lying?" , etc. But I had to give Camerota props for asking a good question, and one that answered itself in the fact that no such letter has ever been produced by the Trump kampf.

20. Their unvarnished ignorance will lead to disaster for this country. They will blame Obama.

24. Is anybody ever going to ask

What does Russia give us? What do they have to give us? WHAT? Because fuck this shit. I'm American and not Russian. Trump's followers better get that through their head and soon. Because they have something for DonnyPutin (aka Trump) but they have nothing for the rest of us. So what do they have for him and not us? Because fuck this shit again. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. A horrible mistake has been made, no matter how it happened.

The world's worst human or one of them is taking control of the world in 3 weeks, this will have disastrous results.

Sorry, but there is only pain, misery, death and destruction ahead.

[C Moon]

28. Isn't Trump supposed to give the world a special announcement on Tuesday or Wednesday

I guess they need the time to come up with something.
Tuesday or Wednesday. He can't even pin a day down, let alone an hour.
The fucker is a joke. Sorry for the bad language, but I can't help it when I think of this freak being President of the US, and making a mockery of it, and nobody that we elected seems to care to do anything about it.

[keithbvadu2]

34. Of course Trump has a response. It is::::: "Thank you!" - ("Greatly")
