President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed talk of sanctioning Russia for interfering in the presidential election, offering what sounded more like a post-breakup pep talk than anything else. “I think we ought to get on with our lives,” he told reporters outside his Mar-A-Lago estate. As for the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia almost certainly hacked into political organizations, Trump offered only vague remarks about the “age of computer.” “I think the computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on,” he said. “We have speed, we have a lot of other things, but I’m not sure we have the kind of security that we need,” he said. Trump’s comments came a day before U.S. authorities were due to announce what action they will take against Russia over Moscow’s election meddling. Democratic and Republican lawmakers have united to urge authorities to impose sanctions on Moscow over the scandal, though Trump continues to maintain that there’s no proof of Russia’s involvement.

You don’t impose sanctions on a nation based on a lie created by Fake News Media to cover up mass corruption and incompetence in their poltical party.
Out and out lie. Not a single on the record source for this claim. instead we have Fake Media SOP, a lie was created by the DNC to distract from the embarrassing news in the leaked emails. The Failed Media mindless regurgitated the lie over and over until they accepted the lie as "truth". There is NO evidence to support this false claim by the DNC and their stooges in the Obama Regime.
How bout we bring punishment to the states that allowed vote fraud to steal millions of votes for the Clinton Crime family. Photo ID, of course, is the easy and sure way to stop it.
Another Obama smoke screen in action MSM dons knee pads.
Exactly.
Until the public is provided with proof, I am against sanctions. I continue to feel the emphasis on Russian hacking is a diversion to take away from the content of the emails. In addition, Wikileaks continues to assert the release was an inside job. Prove one and disprove the other and then I might consider sanctions after an investigation into our computer security.
Boogieman BUMP! Well-stated, MNJohnnie!
HOORAY Donald Trump
I’ll take False Flags for 20T, Alex.
Enemies domestic ALERT!
Unless you're a narcissistic girly-man who was essentially invented by said Fake News Media.
Couldn’t ha have just said.. look it was their own words you got to read, isn’t that what transparency is all about? Their words.
The evidence of crime are the Hillary e mails.
The Russian hacking is an evidenceless attempt at diversion.
When Hillary goes to trial, the Russian gambit will be over.
Real Americans must ostracize the Ameritrash leftists among us. Coexistence must end
And how about if we bring punishment to the head of the Crime family, who refused to follow the federal and State Dept tight internet-security protocol, put in place to prevent said hacking.
There is no doubt she committed mega-counts of offenses of this nature alone, each carrying a severe punishment.
(See: Generals Petraus, Cartwright) Not to mention lying to the FBI.
Hey, I’m fine with hanging from the nearest lamp post.
[tin foil hat on]
Has anyone considered the reason they are still peddling this Russian hacking story without a shred of proof is to taint a jury in case Hillary’s case goes to trial during the next Administration? Think about it?
[tin foil hat off]
I find it hard to believe that a foreign adversary would target the Democrat National Committee server for hacking in order to influence the US election, but some how overlook the unsecured private email server the Sec. of State Clinton was using.
Actually, I was just thinking this for Hillary...and trying to fathom whether it would play in any pardon.
As for the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia almost certainly hacked into political organizations, Trump offered only vague remarks about the “age of computer.”
What a convoluted sentence. “U.S.intelligence agencies” (nameless, vague) “almost certainly hacked into political organizations” (”almost certainly” - vague; “political organizations” - which ones?) And yet “TRUMP offered only vague remarks..”
“almost certainly”
If these two words were applied to everything in life, OJ would be serving his 21st year in prison for murder.
