Kellyanne Conway calls CIA report on Russian election meddling ‘laughable and ridiculous’

Kellyanne Conway called the notion of Russian interference in the election to defeat Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump win the presidency “laughable and ridiculous.”

On CBS's “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning, Trump's senior adviser and former campaign manager echoed statements made by her boss, who said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday” that he does not believe the CIA's conclusion that Russia had meddled in the presidential election to help him win. ...

Conway said that there is no evidence that Russia had interfered to get Trump elected and that the Post story had no on-the-record sources.

“He thinks that people are trying to re-litigate the election,” Conway said of Trump, reiterating that the real estate mogul had won “a significant victory.”

...

"It's clear that Russians interfered. Whether they intended to interfere to the degree that they were trying to elect a certain candidate, I think that should be the subject of investigation," McCain said

“...the CIA’s conclusion...”

Oh.

So now it is the CIA’s “conclusion”.

It’s like Chinese Whispers.

The Demonrats didn’t think they’d have to cheat so much in this election so they didn’t create enough fraudulent votes, so now they want to blame Russia & try to discredit the election.

I know for a fact that Trump had Corey Lewandowski flown to Moscow in an SR-71 to deliver the administrator passwords to all Hillary’s servers, the ones in the bathroom, and the ones in the solarium.

Democrats believe:

1. Hillary Clinton effectively hit the “reset button” with Russia. (Russia, understanding the beta nature behind the “reset button” invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula without objection from the Obama administration.)

2. There is no doubt that Putin and the Russians know that they have a friend in Donald Trump. In fact, Russia will benefit handsomely from a Trump administration.

3. Trump is wholly unpredictable. He will likely start a nuclear war with Russia.

The media’s manufactured reality.

Whenever I think of the mainstream media, I think of this intro:

Good article on why the msm is creating and embracing this fake news of Russia involvement.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-11/breaking-free-captured-media

“In its panicky rush to demonize the independent media via baseless accusations of “fake news,” the mainstream press has sunk to spewing “fake news” of its own.”

...

“Why is the mainstream media freaking out right now? The MSM had bet all its diminishing chips of credibility on Hillary Clinton winning the Presidency.”

...

The same was true regarding Donald Trump. Of the 100 largest newspapers in the nation, not one came out in favor of him — a one-sided media bias that is unprecedented in recent U.S. history.

The MSM has awakened to the reality that the monopoly they once held on a captive audience has eroded to the point of ineffectiveness.

...

On January 21st, Trump needs to head down to Langley and start draining the swamp there. Americans can’t afford to have the CIA to be acting like it is.

The problem is that they are sounding a bit like John Belushi when Carrie Fisher catches up with him in The Blues Brothers.

It was the Electoral System.
It was James Comey.
It was Anthony Weiner
It was a Russian hacker.
It was fake news.
It was all the racist Trump supporters.
She won the popular vote…

What is really interesting the same media that was totally disinterested when Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russian President Medvedev: “Tell Vald that I’ll have more flexibility once I am re-elected” is now all up in arms.

Headline of the Day Poll

Why are Democrats saying Russia interferred with the presidential election?

They are concerned with the integrity of the system

They are trying to delegitimize Trump’s presidency

McCain has a lot to loose. He was the biggest useful idiot for Obama there ever was. Then there’s this pretty young Muslim adviser he took under his wing...

Yeah you cannot reconcile these counter-beliefs.

Plus the only genuine russian pay for play or help one candidate got was hillary for the uranium one contract.

Hillary has the only russian connection and it was quid pro quo. Solid evidence. Leaked private emails.

I’d like to see the “CIA’s” photos of the Russki Army marching Americans to the polls at gunpoint to vote for Trump.
