Or at the very least not word it in this way: “… they did not do it very successfully.” I.e., we know the Russians weren’t successful because Trump tells us so.
Meh. It was a good laugh, especially Trump’s reaction, but wake me up when anything concrete surfaces, like a video or something.

The hardest thing to believe is that Putin’s hackers – Putin’s! – don’t know the fundamental principal “Pix or it didn’t happen.”

Putin’s people don’t want to let the cat out of the bag yet! Trump is potentially very useful to them.
What we’re seeing is the CIA / NSA / DNI trying to limit the potential damage of this type of blackmail information existing on Trump. They’re also trying to constrain him - if Trump ‘goes soft’ on Russia and eases sanctions over the Ukraine, reduces the USA’s involvement in NATO, or takes other steps that appear to assist Russia, the suspicion will now be that he’s acting in response to blackmail, which they’re hoping he can’t be seen to be doing. They’re trying to push Trump into divesting properly. It wouldn’t matter if Russia had bribed Trump financially with sweetheart deals in the past, if he sells his investments and puts everything in a blind trust before taking office. Then it’s just money that he’s gained. If he retains property or investments in Russia they still have leverage over him.

According to the BBC, there are probably several videos and at least some audio. Trump’s pillow talk is likely to make Hulk Hogan look like MLK.
They’ll be released when Putin finds it useful to do so…unless the Chinese have hacked Russian intelligence and decide to get in first.

if only he would, i don’t know, release his f’ing tax returns?
one thing dear leader does well is make massively complicated payment schemes. people have seen the contracts he has for the apprentice and still have no idea how much he makes.
by reports, he’s made less off his family’s money than he would have investing conservatively, so he’s not good at business. but he’s good at obscuring. ( madoff comes to mind. )
we live in a world where the ultra rich tend to get away with their questionable behavior more often than not. and he’s part of that piece which makes investigation - even criminal investigation - very, very difficult.
