Trump’s 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 Clinton’s bid for the presidency.

“Why aren’t we talking about the other influences on the election? Why aren’t 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?”

Trump then suggested that he was a hacking expert with more information than the CIA.

“I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”

Think Progress is a leftist source.

Apparently using leftist sources continues to be part of this site's methodology for the 2nd year.

Right. Trump, the leftist appointed Pence as VP and Sessions as AG and Mattis as Sec. Def.

Leftists for sure, but only in the alt-reality minds apparently prevailing on this site.

Just a slight difference between  you and the Clinton machine.

Are you familiar with the term "blowing hot and cold"? Perhaps I can help:

The Satyr and the Traveller

THE FABLE

There are Greek versions and a late Latin version of the fable by Avianus . In its usual form, a satyr or faun comes across a traveller wandering in the forest in deep winter. Taking pity on him, the satyr invites him home. When the man blows on his fingers, the satyr asks him what he is doing and is impressed when told that he can warm them that way. But when the man blows on his soup and tells the satyr that this is to cool it, the honest woodland creature is appalled at such double dealing and drives the traveller from his cave. There is an alternative version in which a friendship between the two is ended by this behaviour.

The idiom 'to blow hot and cold (with the same breath)' to which the fable alludes was recorded as Ex eodem ore calidum et frigidum efflare by Erasmus
in his Adagia (730, 1.8.30). Its meaning was further defined by the emblem books of the Renaissance , particularly those that focused on fables as providing lessons for moral conduct. While Hieronymus Osius tells the tale of the traveller and draws the moral that one should avoid those who are inconstant, Gabriele Faerno puts it in the context of friendship and counsels that this should be avoided with the 'double-tongued' ( bilingues ). In this he is followed by Giovanni Maria Verdizotti , Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder and Geoffrey Whitney . However, in Francis Barlow 's edition of the fables (1687), the Latin text warns against those whose heart and tongue do not accord, while Aphra Behn
comments in English verse that The sycophant with the same breath can praise Each faction and what’s uppermost obeys,
