How could you be of sound mind when you're the one who said ''people should respect what hitler did to the Jews''.? Trump's refusal to accept intelligence briefing on Russia stuns experts Former senior U.S. national security officials are dismayed at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's repeated refusal to accept the judgment of intelligence professionals that Russia stole files from the Democratic National Committee computers in an effort to influence the U.S. election. The former officials, who have served presidents in both parties, say they were bewildered when Trump cast doubt on Russia's role after receiving a classified briefing on the subject and again after an unusually blunt statement from U.S. agencies saying they were "confident" that Moscow had orchestrated the attacks. "It defies logic," retired Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency, said of Trump's pronouncements. Trump has assured supporters that, if elected, he would surround himself with experts on defense and foreign affairs, where he has little experience. But when it comes to Russia, he has made it clear that he is not listening to intelligence officials, the former officials said. "He seems to ignore their advice," Hayden said. "Why would you assume this would change when he is in office?" The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...elligence-briefing-russia-20161014-story.html
I don't blame Trump. Obviously, they do not have hard evidence that it was the Russians. If they did, we would have heard it by now. It does fit inot Hillary's sleazy efforts to discredit the WikiLeaks scandal and what it says about her. Trump may not be a foreign policy expert, but I see that as a good thing considering the serial disasters these "experts" have produced. He is also no fool. He has seen formerly non-partisan bodies like the Justice Department, IRS and FBI weaponized as partisan tools under Obama. Why would he want to accept the "judgment" of political hacks Obama has put into place at the CIA, FBI and DHS?
