“Public public version? That is, none. I've read these reports. There is nothing specific about them. Only assumptions and conclusions based on them. All. If there is something specific, it will be a subject of discussion. As they said in the organization where I used to work: addresses, appearances, names. Where is it?” Putin said.
The journalist mentioned the IP addresses and fingerprints appearing in the report.
“What fingerprints? Hoof and horn prints. Specialists can change IP addresses. This is not evidence, but an attempt to shift the problem from a sore head to a healthy one,” Putin said.
He questioned the independence of those organizations that made conclusions about the interference of Russian hackers in American conclusions.

But it turned out that he was right and found an approach to those groups of voters on whom he relied. She voted it out, but the other team miscalculated. But they can’t admit that they didn’t catch up with something. It's easier to blame the Russians. This reminds me of anti-Semitism. He's an idiot himself, but it's all the Jews' fault.

When the journalist tried to discuss the alleged spying activities of Russian diplomats, the Russian president asked for a pill.
