Trump spokesman: We need to talk about ‘punishing’ Clinton for ‘trying to influence the election’

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?”

1. This was to be expected... now will the MSM hold the Cheetoh-faced Fuhrer-Elect's feet to the fire? Highly doubtful.

2. Sure Sean, let's forget about Megyn Kelly alleging Trump offered bribes to influence coverage..

And that he got little hints himself about debate questions.

And if she got offers, god alone knows who else.

Spicer knows what goes on, so he needs to STFU. Trump Team's attempts to change course on this makes me even more suspicious.

3. He may have a point.

If she got those debate questions from Putin...

4. They do know how to push those false equivalency buttons.

More fresh ideas from the "freedom party"....

8. Interesting. Makes me wonder what is going on to spook them enough

To start up with a deflection. Makes me want to get my popcorn ready.

At some point, Hillary will need to sue them for harassment and slander.

9. Something must be up...judging from posts on twitter, people are saying there

is a huge push from the Trump camp to lay out all sorts of negative coverage about Hillary in the past few days....Curious!

11. Curious, indeed! Something is coming. We just need to keep our eye on the prize

And not get distracted.

10. Hillary WAS trying to influence the outcome of the election

It's called "campaigning"
