Outgoing Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus denied a report that Russians hacked the RNC during an interview on ABC's "This week with George Stephanopoulos" Sunday.
Separate reports in recent days from The Washington Post and The New York Times said the CIA concluded that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win, including hacking into the RNC computer system. According to The New York Times, which cited senior administration officials, "American intelligence agencies have concluded with high confidence that Russia acted covertly in the latter stages of the presidential campaign to harm Hillary Clintons chances and promote Donald J. Trump."
Priebus, who is set to become President-elect Trump's chief of staff next month, said the claims were "totally false."
According to Priebus, the reports were based on "unnamed sources who are perhaps doing something they shouldnt be doing by speaking to reporters or someone talking out of line about something that is absolutely not true."

(6,409 posts)They find a way into your computer, a way you don't know about. And they don't tell you they did it, because you might shut off your computer, which might kind of kill the Buzz for them. Because...and here's the key thing Rinse... they are smarter than you are. So there's an excellent chance you have no idea whether or not you were hacked.
