CIA reportedly captured Putins "specific instructions" to hack the 2016 election

When Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James B. Comey all went to see Donald Trump together during the presidential transition, they told him conclusively that they had “captured Putin’s specific instructions on the operation” to hack the 2016 presidential election, according to a report in The Washington Post. The intel bosses were worried that he would explode but Trump remained calm during the carefully choreographed meeting. “He was affable, courteous, complimentary,” Clapper told the Post. Comey stayed behind afterward to tell the president-elect about the controversial Steele dossier, however, and that private meeting may have been responsible for the animosity that would eventually lead to Trump firing the director of the FBI.

He can't accept that anyone but him is responsible for his "win"

Not surprised at all.

He was involved in the conspiracy to steal the election with the help of the Russians.
Nothing to do with his ego!

Maybe discussed it with Bannon and they decided it was "Deep State" "fake news"? Where was General Flynn?

Wow.
