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 theyre super-confident in their deception skills and hacking."
...first Putin, then Trump, now Scaramucci, then back to Russia.
Malicious circle.
