Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia spoke ahead of a committee session Thursday that will address how the Kremlin allegedly uses technology to spread disinformation in the U.S. and Europe. Warner and the panel's chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., provided an update the committee's investigation into activities Russia might have taken to alter or influence the 2016 elections and whether there were any campaign contacts with Russian government officials that might have interfered with the election process.

The election is over. The Senate should be concentrating on how to repeal UbamaCare and summoning up the balls to nuke the Democrats from orbit with a rules change. They deserve nothing better. They were absolutely ruthless when they were in control.

What part of “crooked Hillary’s” emails were “disinformation” and why was Clintoon sending emails containing “disinformation”? This ‘RAT sh*t gets goofier every day.

“Some tactics the Main-Stream Media used to meddle in last year’s presidential election would give shivers to anyone who believes in American democracy.”

Fixed it.

Some tactics Russia used to meddle in last year’s presidential election>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Duh?

Obama used worse tactics in meddling with the electiuons in the Ulraine and Israel.

Putin just gave Obama some of his own medicine.

None of it was illegal.

There is no evidence that Russia influenced the election.

Hillery blew it. Despite the billions of dollars spent by the Clinton campaign and various PACs. Now the Dems international Clientel who paid Hillery and the CLinton Foundation want heads t roll. The answer: “ The Russians did it!” And Jeb Bush who was reputed to have spent 150 million or so on his nomination run also says: “ The Russians diod it!”

Everyone who lost big bucks are pointing at the Russians, because they cannot admit defeat to a candidate who did not spent big time, but had the People.

Donald J Trump, president. Live with it you elitists and leftist losers.You losers are ruining the country.

The Democrat Party has been spreading disinformation for decades. Don’t see the Senate investigating them.

It makes no difference how much or how little ‘disinformation’ the Russians injected into the media (or whatever venue they did, if they did), it is up to the populace to investigate for themselves. Since the vast majority of LIV’s in this country fail to do such, the consequence is on their heads. It was patently obvious to even the most casual observer that HRC had committed high crimes against this nation, but the Dem voters simply DID NOT CARE.

Final point, HRC would have been the far better candidate from the Russian perspective as she has proven she can be manipulated to Russian ends (uranium) and/or anyone with the right amount of $$$.

You are 100% correct!!! This Russian gig is a waste of time, Trump beat Hillary Clinton because he was the desired candidate of the majority of the American people!!!

The “Hillary Clinton vote totals are laced with millions of illegal, fraud, invalid votes across the entire country. What in God’s name do you think the Democrat Party defends illegal immigrants for...one thing....their illegal votes!!!

Friends.....stand pat...the truth will surface and, end up destroying the Democrat Party!!! The seeds of destruction for Democrat, have been well laid and planned by Barack Hussein Obama, the man that thinks and believes he is a God!!! He is not and never will be!!! Hell awaits him with its “evil” open arms!!!

We have to remember that it doesn’t matter to these people that there is absolutely no proof that the Russians were the ones who gave the DNC emails to Wikileaks, and that there is no proof of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

All the Democrats care about at this point is having this “Russia hacked the election” meme repeated over and over, as often as possible and in as many ways as possible. They know that a large portion of voters don’t really pay attention and will eventually accept that there must be something to this since they keep hearing about it. The goal is to delegitimize Trump’s presidency, and thus disenfranchise the millions of Americans who voted for him.

I’ve already started to hear several Mainstream Media whores spouting that ridiculous line about “the seriousness of the charges...”

Hillary’s crimes? What, are you sexist?

They still haven't figured out whether there were any campaign contacts with Russian government officials that might have interfered with the 2016 election process?

Some Dumbocrats are furiously speed-dialing THE PSYCHIC HOTLINE to get answers for the American people.

And while they're at it, they should find out how the Russians pulled out the popular vote for Hillary.

I’m thinkin’ there’s probably more likely-hood of Trump dealing with impeachement issues than hildabeast ever being indicted. The later has merit. The former, not so much. At least from my perspective.

I agree. Clintoon is immune from our laws. She can and is expected to do whatever it takes to take the throne.
