The Narrative
The Russians have been accused of meddling in the American election for the purpose of defeating Hillary Clinton. The left claim this brings into question the validity of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. The polls and general consensus of polling and biased press reporting had assured the American public that Mrs. Clinton would win easily. All of the major news outlets projected a Clinton landslide. The fact that it didn’t happen could only be attributed to Russian intervention! Despite the lack of evidence of election tampering by the Russians, the left is using the alleged hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) computer system as a reason to deny Mr. Trump the Presidency.
The Truth
The DNC refused to allow the FBI to examine its servers after party officials claimed they had been hacked by Russia during the 2016 election. “The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the initial compromise had been mitigated." The FBI wasn’t allowed to investigate the alleged hack, having instead to rely on third party reports for information.
In fact, the DNC forced the FBI to rely exclusively on information provided by the private digital forensics company CrowdStrike. The cybersecurity company was hired after the hack to restructure and rebuild the DNC’s entire management systems and provide around the clock monitoring. The DNC would permit no independent verification of any hacking, for the DNC is not a government agency and therefore not required to provide access to their computer system.
CrowdStrike is a California-based, cybersecurity technology company, co-founded by experts George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch. The company was financed to the tune of $100 million by a funding drive...

The fake news and fake Americans still can’t tell you what was hacked.

Oct 2016
Schweizer explained the “deep ties” the Clintons have to Russia, specifically how in 2010 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale and transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government ...”
"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."
***********************************************
RUSSIAGATE
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?
You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
As part of just-inaugurated President Obama’s new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotel’s Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire to “reset” the relationship between the two governments.
Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own “Silicon Valley,” called Skolkovo. In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.
The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:
[The “reset” would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.
It was clearly a “quid pro quo” arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.
When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: “The GAI investigative report says it’s unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made.” Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillary’s campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.
But it wasn’t clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.
The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.
The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of “alternative” energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putin’s rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of America’s enemies.
As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:
The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce….
All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?
Thanks to WikiLeaks the “people” now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager.
As the smoke clears, it seems the whole ‘Russia did it’ excuse actually points to a Clinton supporter group, not Russia. And, it was actually in the works a while before the actual election.
This is as muddled as the ‘video’ that caused the Benghazi murders.

A different take is that the Trump landslide was so massive, even the Dems could not filter in ‘extra’ votes without suspicion — such as some pro-Clinton precincts getting 120-130% more votes than the precincts had voters.
The media had no choice but to call the election — after about a 2-1/2 hour delay to search for pro-Hillary votes.
The DNC won’t let the FBI investigate, but they will provide an investigation to the FBI.
Pay no attention to the fact that the investigation they provided was produced by a company funded and managed by a former employee of Clinton Inc.
Still wondering when the investigation begins into the DNC since apparently they’ve verified that all of those leaked e-mails did indeed come from the DNC...

Of Course they never hacked the DNC or John Podesta
As we know today
DNC refused the FBI to look at the servers
Seth Rich's family was given a PR firm by the DNC immediately following his death and now the family has become fustrated with lack of progress in the investagation
