Senior democrats 'urge Obama to accuse Russia of meddling in election to help Trump win'
Democratic senators on the intelligence committee sent letter to Obama
They implored him to share information which they say shows Russians were trying to put Trump in the White House when they hacked DNC
Obama administration blamed the Kremlin for the cyber attack in October
President-elect Trump says it is not 'certain' Vladimir Putin ordered it
The Russian leader insist he did not order hackers to meddle in election
Democrats are putting pressure on Barack Obama to openly accuse Russia of meddling in the election to help Donald Trump.
Senior party figures sent a letter to the president imploring him to publish classified information which they believe proves the Kremlin interfered to boost Trump's chances of winning.
In October, intelligence committees issued a report suggesting Russian figures were behind the hack of thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton's inner circle.
Their motive was to undermine America's democratic process, it said, and not to intentionally help either of the candidates.
'These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.
'Such activity is not new to Moscow — the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there."
'We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities,' Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security, and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said in a statement.

I’m happy the Dems are doing this.
Makes it easier for us in 2018, and 2020.
Obama knows there was no real evidence, and he knows that Trump’s people will now have access to all of the info and will expose the scam.
This is exactly the nonesense us little people are sick of from democrats. Makes me want to say kill ‘em where you find ‘em.
Russia “meddled” by leaking incriminating Democrat emails?
Jeb Johnson is an incompetent idiot. I would not take his word for it if he told me water was wet.
More evidence the Dems are throwing ANYTHING against the wall to see if it sticks.
Best Election Ever
I love it when they keep shooting themselves in the foot
2018 and 2020 might become a breeze if they keep this nonsense up
Jeh not Jeb.
It wasn’t suppose to be this way
It was suppose to be a landslide for Hillary and the Dems taking the senate as well....
Best Election Ever...
-PJ
Both are numbskulls
Isn’t this like letting a criminal off because protocol wasn’t followed in obtaining the evidence against them? Last I checked, that never engenders sympathy for the criminal in most of the public.
As if the democrats haven’t pissed off enough Americans already.
Demonicrats have given aid and comfort to the enemy, promoted genocidal murder of children, and are Traitorcrats to the United States of America.
Traitorcrats lie with every bit of oxygen they steal.
So they want Obama to perpetrate another lie? No one, except Snowflakes, would believe the Russians had anything to do with Trump winning. Soros was involved with the election most likely, but on THEIR side.
2. I notice that the Dems have never denied the contents of the various releases, just said that it comes from a tainted source and must be ignored.
That’s what Obama needs, another way to look stupid.
“Yeah, Russian meddling is bad! ... Unless it’s the old USSR when it helped us Leftists in the past ...that was different, yeah....”
I fully expected that, if Trump won, Obama would try to invalidate the election results based on the “Russian influence” boogeyman (hacking, propaganda, whatever..). So far that has not happened. But you do see elements of that, especially with the emphasis on “fake news” and the recount effort. I am still not convinced it WON’T happen, especially if Trump looks like he will upset the Establishment applecart too much.
IMHO, it ain’t really over till Trump takes the Oath on Jan 20th.
Where was all this concern when foreigner, Soros, and every muzzie in the world were interfering in American elections?
