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.

DAM THE RUSSIANS! They hacked into paper ballots AND CHANGED THEM!
Telling the truth about Democrats is bad.
... I see to recall that Republican emails were leaked to and these revealed that they are obsessed with campaign fund raising and boring....
IF Obozo tries anything at this point he will be buried UNDER the WH
As HRC once said, they won't find a shred of evidence.

UNICORNS VOTED TEN TIMES EACH!
SPAGETTI MADE EVERYONE VOTE TRUMP!
SMALL TREES IN PLASTIC URNS WERE TO BLAME!
SPACE ALIENS ALTERED THE RESULTS!
COTTON CANDY CLOUDS TOOK AWAY HILLARY VOTES!
I’m serious. These are next. Check them off as each one is pitched.
ROTFL. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
“SMALL TREES IN PLASTIC URNS WERE TO BLAME!”
Finally a rational idea. It was a shrubbery! !NI!
While he’s at it, maybe Obama can charge a YouTube filmmaker of inflaming the attacks on American interests in Benghazi.
If the hackers did anything, it was to prove what liars and scam artists the Democrats are. The Russians didn’t hack the RNC or the Trump campaign. If their purpose was simply to disrupt, why were those not hacked?
And WHY in the world would the Russians prefer Trump to an already thoroughly compromised Hillary Clinton for president?
It simply makes no sense to me that Russians were behind the hacks. More likely, the hackers were individuals or, like Edward Snowden, disgruntled Americans.
The Democrats just want any excuse they can cling to in an effort to delegitimize Trump’s victory.
I guess there’s a difference between meddling and “tipping the scales.” This administration would have to have a lot of balls to try this after meddling in Brexit, Israeli elections, and pretty much every other election around the globe.
COTTON CANDY CLOUDS TOOK AWAY HILLARY VOTES!
That one is true. Thanks cotton candy clouds!
And just how did Russia meddle?? I saw nothing but lip service to such a notion. DNC hackers were believed to have been domestic by knowledgeable persons.
Did dt decide to prosecute her, he said he wasn’t? I miss a lot of news because I am at work or taking care of family. So the democrats are upset because their true nature and their beliefs in their pedophilic self righteousness was made public? Why were they hiding all of this? Don’t they truly believe they represent Americans?
Well, actually, it was mainly the Saudis who meddled in the election. But they were backing Hildabeast, so it needn’t be mentioned.
your choice of the word ‘leaking’ goes hand in hand with first thought here.
BO’B would find the need to change into dry trousers before confronting Russia on anything.
Murdered DNC Intern Seth Rich - bump for later...
It doesn't mean the didn't try.
That question came up in the remarkable "post-election roundtable" hosted by Harvard University within the last couple of days, which was attended by the senior leaders of both the Clinton and Trump campaigns. The Trump people were asked about this, and they said they were very concerned about protecting the confidentiality of their electronic communications. They basically laughed and pointed out two things:
1. Apparently the Democrats didn't even use basic e-mail and internet security measures.
2. There was nothing in their e-mails that would have been embarrassing if it was broadcast on every news show and printed on the front page of every newspaper.
And WHY in the world would the Russians prefer Trump to an already thoroughly compromised Hillary Clinton for president?
Perhaps the Russians prefer Trump because they are actually SERIOUS about stopping ISIS and the anti-Christian left. Russia is, after all, a fellow Christian country, unlike China, Cuba, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other countries favored by Obama.
Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on...he has been meddling in elections all over the world.
Go ahead Obama, make Putin’s Day
The Russians already have derogatory names for you which I’m sure the NSA knows
Make Putin’s first meeting with President Trump even more of a welcome relief that we are not trying to start a war
“’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. “
In other words, their “belief” is apparently based on zero actual facts and 100% speculation.
The Russians wrote about 10,000 emails and pasted John Podesta’s name on them
