NBC News has discovered from CIA sources that Putin was aware of the hacking of Democrats and probably directed its distribution. That is provocative enough to warrant sanctions or, in earlier times - think of the immediate provocation of World War I, ie, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand - war.
Equally provocative is Trumps' response to disbelieve the CIA, along with refusing his daily intelligence briefings. He stated that the CIA doesn't know who hacked the Democrats and he's a smart person who doesn't need daily briefings.
Anyone with sense would want to know the truth and the facts, especially since his Presidency could be tainted by the belief that the Russians hacked to gain Trump a win. But no, he would rather provide the disinformation, read LIE, that no one really knows. Maybe he would know if he took his daily briefings.
Another point I have not yet ranted about is this - despite the dedication, knowledge and skill of the US professional government intelligence community, a general principle is that when some material is developed and left on the cutting room floor, eventually that material is not produced. Well, since we cannot rely on the incoming President, we can only pray that the intelligence apparatus maintains their high standard.
Finally, remember that Trump ahs announced his personal failings for the entire world - Russia, China, ISISS, you name it. He ahs just told the world that he is an irresponsible fool.
If this isn't enough evidence for the Electoral College to their task as conceptualized by alexander Hamilton.
