Russian Hacking Conspiracy Theory Implodes
frontpagemag.com ^ | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 12/16/2016 8:56:00 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The Left’s crusade against Republican presidential electors is kicking into high gear even as the CIA-attributed story that Russian hackers won the White House for Donald Trump is going up in flames.

There is still no evidence –at least none that has been made publicly available– that the Russian government or Russian-backed cyber militias hacked anything to help Trump win the election but that’s not halting the Left’s efforts to delegitimize his presidency before it even begins.

Against this backdrop, members of the Electoral College are preparing to gather this Monday in the 50 states and the District of Columbia to fulfill their constitutional duty. Adding to the drama, some electors are demanding intelligence briefings on the alleged hacking before they vote.

*snip*

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose site released thousands of purported emails from senior Democrats during the recent election campaign, threw cold water on the Russian hacking conspiracy theory.

Assange told Sean Hannity yesterday, “Our source is not the Russian government.” He also said the information WikiLeaks received “has not come from a state party.”

What Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 17 suggests Assange may be right.

“As far as the WikiLeaks connection [to Russian hackers is concerned] the evidence there is not as strong and we don’t have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when the data may have been provided,” Clapper said. “We don’t have as good insight into that.”

These uppity idiots need replaced yesterday !

Makes one wonder just WhoTF they think they are ? !

Or maybe, since this entire 'hacking' meme is total bullsh!t to begin with, get said idiots together, hand each of 'em a blank sheet of paper and tell 'em "here's ALL the evidence we have to date".

Folks, the hard Left is - literally - an enemy of our Nation and Constitution.

There's an inevitable day a'comin' . . .

Theory? The press and the DEMs (but I repeat myself) have been asserting it as FACT, not theory.

#fakenews, all the time.

These idiots forgot to completely censor the alternative media before pushing this bulls*t.

If Hillary had won all that evil “Fake News” would be long gone by now. I wonder if Free Republic would still have been on-line by this point?

The electors who are demanding an intel briefing are most likely Democrat electors in states where Hillary won.

Therefore, they don't matter.

Hussein will be addressing us later today before he jets off on another vacation to Hawaii. What false flag will he threaten Putin with if all of this is Fake News?

If the CIA won’t even brief Congress then these non-security cleared democrat idiots can just pound sand

They have until the inauguration to somehow parlay this “Russians did it” slapstick into...what...We’re holding the election again? We have a Constitutional crisis and need martial law? We’re going to stir up BLM and the Sons of Hippie into civil war?

This is a psychotic episode that is basically a gun barrel in the mouth for Democrats, the zombie corpse that will not die. You got until inauguration day and then watch what happens to your bootlicks in the FBI, CIA and the rest of the “17 intelligence agencies”. Yah, you got it, Zombiecrat, their new department heads will instigate such a house cleaning, such a swamp draining that your only recourse will be to go utterly bat sh!t bull goose loony for every cell phone and handicam in the country, lighting up the YouTube servers like a Las Vegas strip UFO convention.

Civil war brewing. The communists in Russia haven’t done anything to our election process. The communists here have tried to undermine it.

The electors making the fuss are virtually all Democraps who are irrelevant to Trump’s total. There is only one so-called Republican elector (Chris Supran of Texas) who has joined with the ‘Rats, so far as I know.

Supran has proved to be a lying fraud libtard and has no following. All the noise will be irrelevant when the electors vote on Monday and Trump gets over 300 electoral votes.

Meanwhile, in Reality Land....

"In her keynote address to the 1998 University of California Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered Association’s “Exposed!” conference, Elizabeth Birch triumphantly revealed a deep, dark secret. First she asked furtively, “Is there any press in the room?” Then she explained: “Okay, I’m gonna tell you — ’cause some of these conversations are very private — but when I said to Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney, [that] ‘30 percent of your employees are gay,’ he said, ‘You are wrong, Elizabeth, it’s 40 [percent].’”
