Remember that time like three hours ago when I posted threatening to put my favorite Democrats on my shit list if they didn't move on Trump? Well.... check it out (H/T Elliott Lusztig):
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that President-elect Donald Trump knew before Election Day that Russia was behind a series of hacks on Democrats during the campaign.
"There’s ample evidence that was known long before the election and in most cases long before October about the Trump campaign and Russia — everything from the Republican nominee himself calling on Russia to hack his opponent," Earnest said. "It might be an indication that he was obviously aware and concluded, based on whatever facts or sources he had available to him, that Russia was involved and their involvement was having a negative impact on his opponent’s campaign."
Earnest added that might have been a reason Trump "was encouraging them to keep doing it," in reference to a speech Trump gave in July in which he asked Russia to reveal to find and publicly disclose emails deleted from Hillary Clinton's private server, a request he later called sarcastic.You don't make a statement like that and then do nothing about it? Right? Right? Ri(*whimper*)...
