From the January 3 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We've been told 17 of our intelligence agencies are sure that the computers of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee were hacked by Russians, under the direct orders of Putin himself.



The only problem is, we don't have 17 intelligence agencies, so now we've got fake news stories to bolster the claim of the president and the Democrats losing the election.
