WASHINGTON — Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer is defending cryptic comments by President-elect Donald Trump that he knows "things that other people don't know" when it comes to allegations of Russian hacking.
Spicer tells Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" that Trump is getting national security briefings "on a daily basis" and "there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence" Russians were behind the hacking of Democratic emails during the election.
Spicer also dismissed on Monday a report released by the FBI and Homeland Security Department supporting the accusations against Russia, calling it a "how-to" manual on basic cybersecurity for Democrats.
In an interview on NBC's "Today Show," Spicer said President Barack Obama only punished Russia after Democrat Hillary Clinton lost the election and that the recent sanctions were politically motivated.

Finally someone who won't take the bait and keep his own council until all the evidence is in. How refreshing!

So Don “ knows” things? Like about a bounty for dead Americans? What else does the draft dodger know, or not know because he can’t read his intelligence briefings? He is simply too busy planning his next campaign event that hardly anyone will attend. Hopefully enough people can see through his bluster and made up facts so attendance will plummet. And he will realize he is going to lose bigly.
Would anyone want the liar in chief in their unit?
