He was never specific one way or the other. He made a blanket statement that he agreed with the conclusion of the intelligence community. One of their conclusions was that Russia was responsible for the hacking of the DNC. You are parsing a statement to meet the needs of your narrative... which borders on dishonesty.
I have no narrative. You do. And I'm questioning the way you're trying to further it.
Trump specifically stated that he agreed with the IC's opinion that Russia tried to meddle in our elections. That is what he said. I've watched several clips of it. That in no way stated any agreement on the specificity of DNC hacks.
Combine that with his most recent release that he doesn't trust former IC people--only present and future--and it's clear that you're forcing more specificity than his statements allow.
You're pressing it from pure assumption and assertion.
That's my point.
