“It's pretty clear that the hacking was of both political parties but with the aim of hurting Hillary Clinton and then, if Hillary Clinton were to win, the aim clearly was to weaken her,” said Feinstein on NBC's “Meet the Press.”
Host Chuck Todd repeatedly asked Feinstein whether she believed that the Russian effort altered the outcome of the presidential election and Feinstein said she does.
She said that Clinton was also hurt by FBI Director James Comey's announcement 11 days before the election that the bureau found new emails pertinent to an investigation of Clinton that had been considered over for months. It subsequently turned out that the emails were irrelevant to the FBI's conclusions in the investigation....

I’m old enough to remember when a Presidential candidate lost, the candidate and the losing party moved on.
I’m old enough to remember when senators were serious people.
I blame the Amish of Ohio, they tilted the election as well as the Amish of Lancaster and Intercourse Pennsylvania. Not to look too far, just right there at the horse and buggy...forget Russia.
The Russians forced her to keep classified emails on a personal server in a bathroom?
The Russians forces her not to DENY ONE WikiLeaks email?
The Russians forced her to give secret speeches to GS at $250,000 a pop?
Did her parents have any children who lived?
I’m old enough to remember when a Presidential candidate lost, the candidate and the party moved on.

It’s amazing that this drivel is allowed to pass as substantiated.

Gee and here I thought the American people actually voted.
I’m old enough to remember that Gilligan would always find a way to screw up and leave the castaways stranded.
Riiiiiiight ... and they installed her server, had her delete those 33,000 emails, lie about Benghazi and on and on and on it goes ... DiFi, on a train to nowhere
That just happened and the political king makers are pissed.
I think foreign donations and fraud altered the 2008 and 2012 elections.
You just thought they were. They have always had agendas.

That meme Fineswine is pimping is limper than her husband’s old schvantz! No wonder she’s so mean...
Yep, and I’m old enough to remember when the losing party didn’t throw tantrums if they lost the WH and Senate and House seats, if they had done it the electorate would have skewered them for it.
How did the Russians manage to get all of Hillary’s emails onto Anthony Wiener’s home PC?
The Russians probably helped fund Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns. And for good reason: Obama handed KGB Putin everything he wanted and likely more in the areas of missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin claims to have played a major role in. This while the Obama admin systematically took apart OUR military. Of course the Russians would prefer Obama and Hillary over Trump-Pence.
