Well, he does have a valid argument here for being skeptical of "intel" leaks being made to notorious neoconish media outlets like WaPo/NYT.

So then why is Priebus out there saying that Trump accepts that Russian hacking affected the election outcome?

President-elect Donald Trump accepts the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia engaged in cyber attacks affecting the U.S. presidential election and may take actions in response, his incoming chief of staff said on Sunday.

Reince Priebus said Trump believes Russia was behind the intrusions into the Democratic Party organizations, though he did not clarify whether the president-elect agreed that the hacks were directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"He accepts the fact that this particular case was entities in Russia so that's not the issue," Priebus said on "Fox News Sunday."

Lots of talking out of both sides of Trump's mouth going on. Unless someone wants to claim Priebus is lying like some tried to claim Newt was lying about the 'drain the swamp' thing.
