Like Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump is out there promoting Julian Assange’s claim Russia was not his source of the DNC/Podesta hacks, a total contradiction of the conclusion reached by various United States intelligence agencies.

Here is one of the tweets:

Julian Assange said "a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta" – why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!

Yay! Assange said it!

He tweeted this shortly after that:

"@FoxNews: Julian Assange on U.S. media coverage: “It’s very dishonest.” #Hannity pic.twitter.com/ADcPRQifH9" More dishonest than anyone knows

This is terrific. The President-Elect of the United States of America is defending one of Putin’s stooges and slamming the intelligence community at every turn.

It is going to be interesting to see what Trump says after his meeting with the intel community on Friday.
