The "Fact" That 17 Intel Agencies Confirmed Russia is Behind Hacks Isn’t Actually…A "Fact"

Briefly, because I’m trying to get some work done instead expending energy on this horrific, disgusting election cycle…

In last night’s debate Clinton stated that “17 intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia is behind the email hacks” which were then turned over to Wikileaks.

Nevermind that the mainstream media and the elites are very selective about when to condemn hacked document dumps. As I wrote yesterday before the debate:

Yeah, I liked how Chris Wallace jumped on and repeated that little factoid. What a giant pants-load that debate turned into.

Seeing this is from the Obama administration it is really suspect.

Factoid means a small or trivia fact. This needs a different word like Fictoid.

So let me get this straight, it’s impossible to rig a US election, and the very idea is ridiculous and dangerous, unless of course it’s Russia, in which case they can easily rig it.

The Clintons could rig elections in Haiti with hired goons, but the goons they hire here aren’t “rigging”, and are therefore not an issue.

Is that the pantsload the dems are trying to sell me?

It is a little hard to believe that they all conducted independent investigations of the matter and arrived at the same conclusion in each inquiry.

From Urban Dictionary:

fictoid

A factoid that is false or unsupported by evidence, but gets into public circulation anyway. Once it is repeated and quoted enough times, it gains a life of its own, and people assume it is true because they get it from multiple sources, even though the original source is flawed or unverified, or the information turns out to be false.

The “17 agencies that actually confirmed” it was the Russians? Well it turns out that was one guy, namely DCI James Clapper: the head of US intelligence. The same man who committed perjury before congress after his NSA surveillance program was leaked. He issued a statement that included the phrase:
"We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities."
The very next sentence is also of interest:
"Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government."
The word “confirmed” does not appear anywhere in this statement.

Bottom line is; it was another Hillary bald-faced lie.

It is not a fact.

It is a contrived story.

They do not deny the content as fact which, is the issue.

Clinton's "17 US intelligence agencies" may be the biggest, most immediately disprovable wopper ever intentionally made during a debate.

Trump should have just laughed this off with a “If you like your doctor” crack.

Did they discuss how many times Mrs. Nana Clinton’s unsecured server was hacked by international ne’rdowells?

Given a finite number of monkeys and a finite amount of time they'll randomly type a word from Urban Dictionary.

Hillary Rod-damn Clinton said that Bush was “selected not elected”. The lying bitch refused to accept the Democrats LOST in 2000.

From the article. All you really have to read:

"The “17 agencies that actually confirmed” it was the Russians? Well it turns out that was one guy, namely DCI James Clapper: the head of US intelligence. The same man who committed perjury before congress after his NSA surveillance program was leaked. He issued a statement that included the phrase:

'We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.'

The very next sentence is also of interest:

Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government."

That's it. This guy heads 17 agencies. That was good enough for Her Highness to spout it out to 60,000,000 or so people on national TV. A supreme Pants on Fire Episode.

If we knew for a “fact” that it was Russia we’d be screaming it unequivocally. Which tells me they know it’s NOT Russia.

Trump needs to start thinking like some freepers. Not saying I’m anywhere near as smart as Trump.

Private organizations such as the DNC probably do not have any encryption beyond 512 bits or commercially available.

USG Communications have encryption keys generated form the National Security Agency, and every email or message to include Unclassified are dual encrypted for TS level which would take take 80-years to crack one level of encryption; or basically 160 years per message.

The DNC is leaked communications. Someone was probably Sh*t on by Hillary or the likes of Ms Brazil, and stole everything.

Another possibility is that inflitration of the DNC by republican operatives happened - in Cumberland Co NC the Young Republicans were taken over by the DNC about 10 years ago, so maybe payback is in order.

Hillary's serverd was not encrypted by the NSA paired encryption X2, but rather by 512 bit at best. She broke the law putting a simple unclassified document onto the public Internet without remaining inside the State or DISA Cloud.

Let's think about this from a strategic perspective.

If you're Putin who do you want to win? Trump on Hillary?

Who is the stronger leader of the two?

Who is more willing to stand up for America of the two?

Who has he already had interactions with? Hillary. Does he have respect for her? No.

Putin recognizes Trump is an alpha male. Putin recognizes the threat Trump is to Russian.

So no...Russia would not be helping Trump.

It makes no strategic sense.
