Reid: Russian hacking 'as big a deal' as 9/11, Watergate
The Hill ^ | December 13, 2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 12/14/2016 8:39:37 PM PST by Zakeet

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says Russian hacking during this presidential election cycle is as significant as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Watergate scandal and called for a special commission to investigate.

"I think this is as big a deal as Watergate, as 9/11," he told BuzzFeed at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., Tuesday. "I think they should have a 9/11-type commission. I know that [Sens.] Dianne Feinstein [D-Calif.], Ben Cardin [D-Md.] and others are calling for that. I think it’s a step in the right direction. This is a scandal that’s been uncovered.

Was the leaking of the Pentagon Papers as “big a scandal as Watergate” for those who stole the documents?

Yes, we all vividly remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the first Podesta emails were released.

Is he implying that 9-11 was an inside job? These messages were leaked by a whistle blower insider.

Must be convenient to have a scapegoat like the Russians to blame your parties complete and utter failures on.

Obama is raging that since the election he has become even more of a non entity. He knows history will show he came off second best to Putin. He is humiliated and angered that Putin and Trump now dominate and will exercise real power. His commissars still control for the moment CIA and other Federal entities. Their actions reflect his bitter frustration.

For all of those who lost loved ones on 9/11, I consider Reid’s remarks utterly despicable. The ‘man’ is a subhuman political criminal.

And the enemedia will parrot this for days to come.

Where’s the outrage for real corruption like Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the illegal invasion including bringing non-vetted muslims in and so much more.

These people make me so sick as long as the corruption benefits them, it’s not really corruption but fake corruption like this Russian hacking is such an outrage. Reid is putting our their corrupt talking points for the next few days.

Screw you corrupt Harry Reid! You belong in prison!

Peaceful transfer of power from Democrats to Republicans may have ended as far back as the 1950s.

The is belief that the 1960 election was stolen.

The election of Nixon (twice popularly elected president, something we were told was sufficient reason NOT to pursue impeachment of Obama) was negated by the attempted impeachment of Nixon (hounded out of office).

Reagan won but they tried to run him out of office with the Iran-Contra hearings and there were efforts to run President Bush (GHW) out of office over a conspiracy theory that Bush met with the Iranians to keep our hostages held until Reagan was elected.

The 2 Bush (GW) victories were stymied by Gore’s extended attempt to overturn the election (over a month) and Kerry’s several day unwillingness to concede.

Some wanted Bush charged with “war crimes” including Vincent Bugliosi.

Now there is utter refusal to accept Hillary’s loss.

When the Rats lost congress they bought off a Republican to “switch parties” and in another election stole a seat in the courts for Al Franken (who gave the Rats their majority for Obamacare).

This nation needs to see the Rats for who they are.

Remember Obama spent thousands of dollars to change the vote for Israel’s election. Creepy hypocrites.
