Trump concedes Russia behind election interference

President-elect Trump conceded for the first time that Russia was behind the hacking of democratic institutions during the presidential election, saying at a news conference that, “I think it was Russia.”

But he vigorously denied the swirl of allegations about his behavior that was published online Tuesday, calling it “fake news” and praising Russian President Vladimir V. Putin for saying it was false. “I respected the fact that he said that,” Mr. Trump told reporters.

“It’s all fake news. Its phony stuff. It didn’t happen,” Mr. Trump said. “It was gotten by opponents of ours. It was a group of opponents that got together. Sick people and they got together and put that crap together.”

Mr. Trump disputed the allegations that he was involved in salacious behavior in a Russian hotel room, saying that he is always highly aware that there are “cameras in the strangest places” in hotel rooms when he travels around the world.

It always seems to turn out that whatever Trump denies... is actually true.

And whatever Trump says others do... is what he already does.

BTW, any of our LOLLIPOP guild want to apology for spreading falsehood, claiming the truth was a lie, and denigrating those that actually spoke the truth?

So what?

I mean, Obama thought it perfectly good to let Russia invade and take over Crimea and the Ukraine.

Whats some meddling in an election in comparison?

Hypocrite.
