Trump Says He Has New Information About Alleged Russian Hacking
Radio Free Europe ^ | December 31, 2016 | Reuters

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he has unrevealed information about alleged Russian hacking during the presidential election that he plans to present next week.

Speaking briefly to reporters on his way to a New Year’s party in the U.S. state of Florida, Trump responded to a query about the alleged hacking by saying: “I know things that other people don’t know” and “you will find out on Tuesday or Wednesday [January 3 or 4].”

He also said that he still believes the hacking of emails of U.S. Democratic Party officials could have been carried out by “somebody else” other than Russia. He said he knows a lot about computer hacking and that it’s “a very hard thing to prove.”

Last week, the U.S. government expelled 35 Russian diplomats and imposed sanctions against Russian security officials and agencies over the alleged hacking. U.S. intelligence agencies have said they believe Moscow ordered the hacking in order to help Trump win the election....

I am a long time anti-communist as well.

Putin is among the least of my worries.

In the aftermath of the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the communists took over in the West, including in the US.

The enemy has been inside the wire for 25 years.

If the Russians hacked the DNC and probably the Clinton Foudation why in the hell did they give it to Wikileaks? If Hillary had of won Putin would have owned Hillary via Blackmail. Actually I think the Russians did hack the DNC and the Clinton Foundation. I do not think they gave anything to Wikileaks. I also think many others hacked the DNC and the Clinton Foundation. Their security sucked. John Podesta's password was P@ssword. My thirteen year old granddaughter that fixes my computer could have hacked that in about three minutes.

What came to Wikileaks did not come from Russia. When Wikileaks published the hack it diminished Putin's ability to blackmail Hillary Clinton

No, they did not. I knew the MSM would pull this bullshit because of the way Obama did this.

Obama claims he expelled Russian diplomats because of they way US diplomats were being treated in Russia. Then they added the alleged Russian hack to that reason. I knew that our media would soon just report that Obama expelled Russian dips only for the supposed Russian hacking with no mention of the BS of American dips being treated poorly in Moscow.

And here you go.

Social Justice Warrior.

It’s what the bomb throwing left used to disparage the social left back in the day. Now, it’s the leftist thugs such as BLM, the militant queers and the rest of the cultural and social destructionists.

Dialectic has no affect on SJW. They’re pure rhetoric. You gotta hit them in the feels to make any impact.

Three basic rules re: SJWs.
1. SJWs always lie.
2. SJWs always project.
3. SJWs always double down.

There is nothing provided that proves Russia did any hacking:

WTF?

Democrats are now anti-Russian?
Republicans are now pro-Russian?

Dear Democrats:

Now that you suddenly appear to be firmly in the anti-Russian/Pro-U.S. camp, perhaps you might find it in your hearts to exonerate Joseph McCarthy? You might want to notify Hollywood to help absolve him, since they've been releasing about 10 movies a year with negative references to him since the 1950's.

The media are lying about Russia “hacking” the election.

Obama is also lying.

Someone supposedly “hacked” and released some of Hillary's emails last year. 1. there's no proof that Russia was even behind this incident. 2. NO ONE hacked any election machines . This didn't affect the election results but the media did provide billions of dollars in free attack ads agasinst Trump and even faked polls to depress Republican voter turn out .that's an attemped hack of an election.

Add that to the massive democrat voter fraud as uncovered in Detroit by Jill Stein's recounts etc. , millions of illegals voting for Hillary etc. and Trump really won by many more millions of votes . Russians didn't hack any election but the media attempted to fix the election.

But the media lies and lies and lies again. The media reporters are not reporters but lying communist propagandists.

The most fanatical communists take jobs as reporters to have a captive audience on TV to preach their religion of socialism to.

For example Megyn Kelly couldn't pass up the opportunity she had to “take out “ Trump . Trump beat this communist but she exposed herself as a hack at the debates and followup Kelly shows. All the media reporters anchor men , editors , writers,producers etc. are democrat political activists . the media reporters lie and choose to report only stories that will advance their agenda and the agenda of the democrat party and their agenda now is destroy Trump at any cost.

That the this big lie by the media that Russia hacked the U.S. election goes unchallenges shows that the media still controls what we talk about, still controls what people see etc. This is why they are desperate to shut Trump's twitter down. So that we never find out what is really going on.

The media is the enemy of Americans and freedom. They are all hell bent on turning the USA into a socialist state and choose only stories that further that agenda as “news” . And they make up stories as this Russian hacked the electoin big lie. The media is the main problem in the USA. how can we make correct choices if all the information we get is lies . The media creates an alternate fake reality as in the matrix.

Who cares who hacked what. IMHO, what matters is what was re vealed by the “hacks”.
