Stop blaming WikiLeaks.
Stop blaming Russia.
Stop citing a secret CIA report, especially since The New York Times published an article on October 31, 2016 titled Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia:
Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.
Therefore, the FBI has already contradicted the CIA on its Russian conspiracy theories.
Was this New York Times article an example of “fake” news?
As for Russian interference through WikiLeaks, NSA Chief Mike Rogers is quoted on November 21, 2016 in The Hill stating DNC emails had little impact on the election:
National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers said Sunday that he does not believe the publication of stolen Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails affected the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
“I don’t think in the end it had the effect that [the hackers] had hoped it might,” Rogers said during a panel at the Halifax International Security Forum.
Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain (R-Az.) expressed a similar sentiment on Saturday, stating that, “I do not think that the outcome of the election was impacted by Russian hacking.”
The FBI and NSA have already contradicted The Washington Post and CIA. Even Sen. John McCain stated that he didn’t think “the outcome of the election was impacted by Russian hacking.”(continued)

I am, like, shocked. The Huffington Post wrote this? Wow.
I do live in Az but I did not vote for him.
Was not happy he got re-elected.
I think he just wants attention. He loves to hear his opinion on things.
This is one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.
You know, talking it over with some friends, I think if their WOULD have to be another election, that TRUMP would even get MORE votes. I think many that had concerns, realize his style, and have been won over. I bet he would for sure carried New Hampshire on a 2nd try, and probably Nevada and New Mexico and Colorado.
It's them damned City People.
Northwestern Arizonan.
HuffPo realized there is such a thing as an indefensible position. Who knew?
A Bernie supporter. A liberal yes, but I question just how long his writings will be carried by the Huffington Post though if he keeps writing truthful stuff like this. Truth is not allowed, or tolerated, in liberal utopia land.
“Mr Trump”
I wonder if they ever referred to O’Bunghole as “Mr Obama” while he occupied the office of president elect?
Is the huffpost being inundated with hate mail about the author of the article?
Wikileaks denies they got the emails from the Russians. At this point I consider them more credible than the CIA.
I bet HA Goodman goes the way of David Seaman before long. Fired from HuffPo. Happy to be gone once out.
The huffers say it, but what about the vast number of dems who will cling bitterly to their delusions?
“... Nevada and New Mexico and Colorado.”
I don’t know about Colorado. I think they are too infected...like the walking dead.
“They are going to have to come to grips that their fatally flawed candidate was the worst since Dukaukis.”
The left will never admit that to themselves, just as they’ll never admit that Barack Obama led them into the political wilderness.
Cosequently, they’re going to keep losing elections until they’re nearly defunct, as a party.
Even some of their own are getting a little tired of the whining. On that same Huff-Po page is an article on “Why we can no longer be friends after you voted for Donald Trump”.
It’s written by a gay man to a woman who was his longtime friend. Lots of Chicken-Little melodrama and Cry-Bullying going on.
His former friend probably never finished the letter anyway.
“Bye!”
McLame, my Senator, also really milks his veteran’s POW status. The only reason he was re-elected this time is because the Rat alternative was so abhorrent.
I rarely agree with the Huffington Post, but they got this one right.
x2
I think some leftists are becoming aware of how ridiculous this sounds.
I have been asking the same question. What is so wonderful about J. McCain?
Amazing that Huff Post published this — of course I did not read the whole thing, only the headline.
