"SNIP............

Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Trump that Russian hackers wouldn't have gotten caught if they did hack Democratic groups because they're too skilled at spying, The New York Times reported Monday.

Trump has since repeated the claim, according to White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Scaramucci told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that someone told him that if Moscow hacked the Democratic National Committee, "you would have never seen it. You would have never had any evidence of them, meaning that they’re super-confident in their deception skills and hacking."

Pressed by host Jake Tapper on who told him that, Scaramucci said it was Trump himself.

Scaramucci told that to Tapper and Tapper was almost speechless (I laughed out loud) and vowed never to allow Scaramucci on my TV (he is like Kellyanne in my opinion) and is now permanently blocked from MY airways.

Putin has trained trump to distrust US Intel and believe him, only him, and Ivanka. Trump is his asset now. If Putin says burning down the White House would be good for the USA, trump will burn it down.
