Obama says it is possible Russia would try to sway U.S. election

U.S. President Barack Obama said it was possible that Russia would try to influence the U.S. presidential election, after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that experts have attributed to Russian hackers.

"Anything is possible," Obama told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Tuesday when asked if the Russians would try to influence the Nov. 8 election.

Obama said the Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating the leak on Friday of more than 19,000 DNC emails, which showed the committee had favored Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders for the party's presidential nomination.

"I know that experts have attributed this to the Russians," Obama said.

"What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems, not just government systems but private systems," he said.

Yes. The NYTimes too. Paul Krugman had a column in which he called Trump “the Siberian candidate” and called for a government investigation - written before the emails were released.

“I know that experts have attributed this to the Russians,” Obama said.

What `experts’ is this scheisser talking about?
CNN? Jake Tapper? The Wall Street Journal?

The ones he pulled out of his ***?

...Obama says it is possible Russia would try to sway U.S. election...

It is the history of the lying Felon seeking the Presidency that is swaying the election.

It is not bias, it is a distraction. The Russians didn’t write the emails.

And he swayed the Brexit vote. So it’s a wash.

Can you imagine Reagan or Eisenhower or even Kennedy or LBJ pulling this crap? This country is circling the drain...

Horrible negotiator. Obama needs to read Art of the Deal. He has just painted the Russians into a corner. There is no longer any incentive for the Rusdians to not release everything they have now. We are being led by Uniparty idiots.

“Obama says it is possible Russia would try to sway U.S. election”

Obama can believe that, for after all, he knows how much Sauda Arabia bought and paid for him.

A necessary lie to hide the truth: Putin, having all of Hillary’s emails in his personal possession and having every fact he needs to blackmail her for her full term if POTUS, has every reason to want her in office, and every reason to NOT want the rogue, independent Trump to deal with.

Those would be the DNC experts at diverting attention.

I have to disagree. Once she wins, what’s the blackmail worth?

And offical Russian papers have talked about Russia’ alt right partners in America.

Putin HATES hillary with a passion and wants the person less likely to go to war over the small incursion into Ukraine.

Russia let these fly, and they will let more fly soon.

This insinuation can only have two possible effects: 1) buck up nervous supporters and, 2) break thru the fog to the LIV.

The former is the main job of every paid political liar; won’t affect any votes.

The latter, to the extent that something gets thru, will simply be reminded the Dems screwed up something about emails again. If anything, that will hurt the Dems.

Nothing will help the Dems if there’s more in store. Hopefully we’ll find out Thursday morning to blunt coverage on Obungo’s speech and distract from Hitlery’s later that evening.

Given Obama interfered in numerous countries, overthrew and even murdered leaders... The outrage from HRC and BO is silly.
