The FBI has discovered attempted hacks of voter registration sites in more than a dozen states according to two law enforcement officials. US investigators believe that Russia is behind those attempted hacks the officials said.

Earlier Wednesday, FBI Director James Comey spoke of additional attempted hacks at a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington, but did not specify a number.

Team 0dunga/Hillary is setting the stage just in case Trump should somehow WIN. If he wins, The 0dunga DOJ/DHS/etc. will act to nullify the election results, blaming a Trump win on the Russians. 0dunga will refuse to leave the White House until it is RESOLVED IN HILLARY'S FAVOR.

Think 'Florida' and hanging chads on STEROIDS. If only 0dunga can get his HACK on the Supreme Court BEFORE this happens.

So if Trump wins, it will be because the Russians rigged the system and Obama will declare martial law.

Just use a proxy server in Russia and the Feds will say the attackers are from Russia. They don’t know.

They recognize Trump is going to win and they want to contest his victory.

The start of the setup? One has to wonder now that the corruption in our government can no longer be denied by anyone who has a functioning brain.

Is it just me, or does it sound like DHS-FBI-MSM run this trope to make it seem like upcoming elections are futile?

Announcing no confidence the morning after the election would be a great excuse to invalidate results and let DC take over.

The FBI should be arresting the communist SANDERS that was standing next to SHRILLARY on stage today.

J. Edgar Hoover created and made the FBI respectable, this smarmy prick Comey has turned it into the KGB.

This is what happens when criminals, who should have been arrested for treason, are running the government.

I don’t believe him.

They’ve already lost credibility to the extent that I don’t believe anything that they say...it’s a ruse for a political purpose.

They’re liars. And as it was said upthread, once they pack supremes they don’t have to lie, they’ll just tell us the ugly truths and tell us tough shit.

No, this will not pass - there is going to be no federal intrusion into States elections. Or there will be a fight.

Either way the solution is to let the federal government run all elections.

Sound like an Obama attempt to take over elections in every State and “make ‘em honest”.

We’d be doomed for sure if he succeeded.

I always KNEW he was a liberal hack even though people were saying he had no party affiliation or was a republican. If Obama appoints someone they are not going to have Freeper values.
