Top US Republican senator says Russians hacked his campaign
Yahoo News ^ | December 14, 2016

Posted on 12/15/2016 12:07:03 AM PST by detective

A senior Republican senator said Wednesday that his campaign accounts were hacked by Russians, taking issue with President-elect Donald Trump's rejection of Moscow's alleged interference in the US elections. Senator Lindsey Graham said he was informed three months before the November 8 presidential election that his accounts were broken into.

"Our campaign vendor was hacked. We were told by the FBI in August that we were hacked in June," he told CNN television. Trump has rejected the conclusion by the CIA and FBI that Russians stole data out of campaign computers and were behind the leak of documents and communications from the Democratic National Committee and the emails of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign chief, John Podesta.

Lindsey Graham is either lying or he is delusional.

WikiLeaks were leaks from insiders, not hacks by Russians.

All campaigns were probably hacked but WikiLeaks info did not come from hacks.

“Why does SC keep electing this deranged jerk?”

Democrats keep electing him. Simply because they can control him.

Establishment types are established. They have the handlers, the donors and all the other connections. It takes a Trump to get through all these guys.

The hack says he was hacked.

It was probably a bored 15 yr. old kid in Iowa.

And it couldn’t have been anyone but the Russians! They hacked me, too. I got one of those e-mails from the brother-in-law of a deposed dictator who was stranded in Athens ‘cause somebody stole his suitcase, and he needs me to wire him money immediately so I can buy a hot Asian girl. Naturally, I followed his instructions to the letter./sarc

The Russians only hacked his door lock and stole all his dresses. Only a simple larceny in my opinion.

According to WikiLeaks, Graham accepted money from Hitlery, so he’s got some ‘splaining to do. This might be the beginning of him trying to throw the scent off of his tracks.

Right? He’s not saying FBI told him it was Russia. He’s pulling it out of his arse.

Trump would have been well off to appoint McLain & Graham to a position, keep them around long enough to get replacement Senators then fire them.

probably the ONLY thing keeping McLain from bolting to the D party is he would lose his chairmanship.

McLame was all for having ‘equal participation’ on the committees when the Senate was 50/50 and the VP was the tie breaker.
He kept pushing for equal R & D and was pushing hard until someone suggested the CHAIRS bed split also.

When to saw he would lose his chair he changed his mind.

I still ‘respect’ McLain in regards to his Naval Service etc but I think that debt was ‘paid off’ when he got to walk away from the Keating Five...

They left an avatar of a dancing Cossack with a bottle of Stoli balanced on his fur hat.
