2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy are you defending Russia?: They are asking the GOP
looks like CNNs Chris Cuomo has officially had it with Trump surrogates who are refusing to talk about Russias role in interfering with the 2016 presidential election.
While interviewing Jason Miller, the Trump transition teams communications director, Cuomo repeatedly asked him why Trump was so unwilling to investigate whether Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee or the leaking of John Podestas emails this year.
Miller tried to completely dodge the question and accused Cuomo of trying to make Trumps upcoming presidency illegitimate before its even begun.
Cuomo, however, wasnt having any of it.
Why wont you call this what it is? Cuomo asked. October 7, [James] Clapper comes out, the head of the DNI, and says, This is what Russia does, it has all the signatures of it, theyre trying to increase some kinds of influence in our election. You say its ridiculous why?

Wallace: I do get to ask some questions. And I would like to ask you this direct question. The top national security officials of this country do believe that Russia has been behind these hacks. Even if you don't know for sure whether they are, do you condemn any interference by Russia in the American election?
Trump: By Russia or anybody else.
Wallace: Do you condemn their interference?
Trump: Of course I condemn, of course I condemn - I don't know Putin. I have no idea-
Wallace: I'm not asking you that.
