Russians are ‘too clever to get caught’

Donald’s latest theory

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci tried to discredit the “Russia” probes on Sunday by claiming the Kremlin couldn’t have hacked Democratic e-mails because it is too skilled to get caught.

“Somebody said to me yesterday — I won’t tell you who — that if the Russians actually hacked this situation and spilled out those e-mails, you would have never seen it,” Scaramucci told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“You would have never had any evidence of them, meaning that they’re super confident in the deception skills and hacking. My point is, all of the information isn’t on the table yet.”

Scaramucci then admitted the “somebody” was the president.

“I talked to him yesterday,” Scaramucci said. “He called me from Air Force One. And he basically said to me, ‘Hey . . . maybe they did it. Maybe they didn’t do it.’ ”

CNN host Jake Tapper said he can’t understand why the intelligence community and the GOPled Congress believe Russia meddled in the election, but Trump tries to discredit the notion.

“Don’t you owe a duty to the truth?” Tapper asked.

“There are checks and balances in the system for a reason,” Scaramucci replied. “The president will make that decision when he makes a decision.”

Scaramucci admitted one of the reasons Trump gets “upset” with Russia coverage is because it implies his 2016 election victory was “illegitimate.”

“He’s actually really not that focused on it,” Scaramucci said of Russia. “He just happens to not like it. He is super focused on his agenda.”

“He’s not tweeting about those things,” Tapper countered. “He’s tweeting about Russia and Hillary Clinton.”

Scaramucci said once he can clean up the communications shop, maybe Trump won’t be as compelled to tweet as much about the election.

“He doesn’t feel that he’s being effectively defended in the mainstream media with the nonsensical narratives that are out there,” Scaramucci said. “And we’re going to change that for him. We’re going to defend him very, very aggressively when there’s nonsensical stuff being said about him and he’ll probably dial back some of those tweets.”

“That’s the way it works,” he said.
