President-elect Donald Trump brings "Thank You Tour" to West Allis

<p>As more evidence leaks that Russia might have not only&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/obama-administration-struggles-with-russian-hack-response/" target="_blank">intervened in our presidential election</a>, but did so to make sure Donald Trump was the winner, there&#39;s a bipartisan effort to get to the bottom of it.</p><p>&quot;I think we ought to approach all of these issues on the assumption the Russians do not wish us well,&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?420023-1/announcing-probe-majority-leader-says-russians-friends" target="_blank">said Senate Majority Leader</a>&nbsp;Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.</p><p>But the effort&#39;s missing at least one important man.</p><p>&quot;I think it&#39;s ridiculous. I think it&#39;s just another excuse. I don&#39;t believe it,&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89sYgOexl3g" target="_blank">Donald Trump said</a>&nbsp;on Fox News.</p><p><b>SEE MORE: <a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/10-electors-request-intelligence-briefing-on-russian-hacking/">Some Electors Want A Briefing On Russian Hacking Before They Vote</a></b></p><p>This is all in response to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-orders-review-of-russian-hacking-during-presidential-campaign/2016/12/09/31d6b300-be2a-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.11edb3574613" target="_blank">reports the CIA</a>&nbsp;has identified people connected to the Russian government who hacked emails from Democrats and gave them to WikiLeaks.

They did hack into this campaign, and they did it, I think, with at least some effectiveness,&quot; McCain told CBS.&nbsp;</p><p>But the president-elect and his staff have blasting the intelligence community. And for a pretty obvious reason.</p><p>If another country goes out of its way to tip the presidency one way or another, that calls into question the legitimacy of whoever is elected. And that&#39;s something the Trump camp can&#39;t seem to let go.</p><p>So now lawmakers want to focus on intention. There&#39;s basically a consensus on Russia&#39;s involvement, but lawmakers want to put politics aside and find out the why.</p><p>&quot;We need to get to the bottom of this in a fair, nonpartisan, non-finger pointing way. This is something that should unite Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals, patriots,&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUn6_DBrrus" target="_blank">Schumer said</a>.</p><hr><b>Trending stories at <a href="http://www.newsy.com">Newsy.com</a></b><ul class="inline-related-links"><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/trump-will-give-deposition-right-before-he-s-inaugurated/">Trump Will Give Sworn Testimony Weeks Before He&#039;s Sworn Into Office</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/10-electors-request-intelligence-briefing-on-russian-hacking/">Some Electors Want A Briefing On Russian Hacking Before They Vote</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/goldman-sachs-coo-gary-cohn-joins-trump-administration/">Trump Adds Another Goldman Sachs Veteran To His White House</a></li></ul>
