Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer I guess blames the victim rather than the perp?

"At some point, the question hasn't even been asked of the (Democratic National Committee): Did you take basic measures to protect the data that was on there?" said Spicer, who spoke shortly before the Obama administration slapped Russia with sanctions over the hackings. "Where's the responsibility of them to protect their systems?"

Spicer said the media had not properly scrutinized the DNC's lack of adequate cybersecurity.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) on Thursday appeared to praise the publication of Democratic emails, believed to be stolen by Russian operatives, on WikiLeaks.

"If anything, whatever they might have done was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believed was in their best interests," Trent said on MSNBC.

“If Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done,” he added.
