President Donald J. Trump took a pounding this week, even from his “beloved” Fox News, over his comments at his joint press conference Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This stemmed from his statement questioning the so-called “intelligence” of our intelligence community — namely that Russia is the culprit for hacking the servers of the Democratic National Committee and by extension the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. The president cited the obvious fact that the intelligence agencies, comprised of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) — all overseen by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) — never bothered to seize, inspect or analyze the actual DNC servers. Contrary to the misleading reports this week of the leftist Daily Beast and “Never Trumper” Ben Shapiro that custody of the actual server was not necessary to glean Russian hacking, the president made a strong case for being suspicious of the intelligence community’s claimed assessment.
