The Trump team isn’t buying it.
President-elect Donald Trump‘s transition team released a statement Friday giving their response to the CIA’s alleged conclusions from its investigation into possible interference of last month’s presidential election by the Russian government.
The CIA report concluded that the Russian government actively interfered with the election process to aid the president-elect’s campaign, according to The Washington Post.
Trump is sticking to his guns, though. CBS News reported:

When news of the CIA’s report was posted to social media, it raised the eyebrows of other folks as well.
The @washingtonpost reports that the CIA concluded it was “quite clear” Russia wanted to help elect Donald Trump. https://t.co/nNCkUxa1fr

One tweep observed that this is nothing new. The Obama administration has a history of trying to direct the outcome of foreign elections.
@TwitterMoments @washingtonpost And Obama and $hrillary wanted Brexit to fail and @netanyahu to lose. So what? $hrillary beat herself.

Another response was of the “so what?” variety, reasoning that most civilized countries wanted Trump to win.
@TwitterMoments @washingtonpost
So? Putin wanted Trump & so did the rest of the sane leaders in the world Every1 knows dems are incompetent— Trump Won Twice ❤ (@Patriotic_Me) December 10, 2016
The CIA’s report was an apparent response to President Obama’s order that the intelligence community launch a probe into the 2016 election.
