Trump Fires Back at CIA Efforts to Undermine His Presidency With Report Alleging Russia Helped Elect
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 9, 2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 12/09/2016 11:25:41 PM PST by McGruff

In a statement released Friday night, President-Elect Donald Trump blasted the CIA over a leaked report that claimed, without evidence of direct involvement, that Russia interfered in the recent presidential election to help elect Trump over rival Hillary Clinton.

The leaked CIA report was first reported by the Washington Post Friday evening. Earlier Friday it was reported President Obama had ordered a “full review” due by the end of his presidency on allegations of Russia’s hacking to influence the election.

As predicted by many on this site, the attempt to overturn the results of this election ate in full swing. Now that the recount effort has failed they are moving on to the electoral college.

This is very misleading. One: when they say Russian, they mean hackers who have ties to hackers in Russia. They have no evidence that the Russian Government or even Russians were involved.

Two: The hack they are talking about is the release of Podesta Emails. Nobody said that any of those emails were fake. And of course the Hillary emails were released by our own government.

Three: So the term “influence the election” means that someone, maybe Russians, showed that the election was rigged and demonstrated it to the American people. Hillary was given debate questions, she did not deny. The press let the Hillary campaign influence their publications, writing, editing articles, the press admitted it. The DNC was helping Hillary over Bernie. The DNC admitted it.

I don’t call that influencing the election. I call that good journalism. And nobody is saying that the democrats could not respond. Or that the US electorate didn’t weigh the evidence and decide who to vote for.

There was no vote tampering. There was no denial of the email’s veracity.

And Hillary publicly said in the debate that the US CIA believed the hacker to be Russian.

So the electorate understood the total story before the vote. And then they voted for Trump.

Where's the proof that a leak even happened? Where is the proof that it came from the CIA? If Russia did anything it would likely have been to help Clinton. After all, they just pay the Clinton Foundation and get what they want which included about 20% of uranium processing. Anything that comes from the Compost is likely just more fake news and propaganda.

Bag Dad Bob is more believable.

Is this all a concerted effort to deny the presidency to Trump based on espionage/

This wasn’t leaked.

This was planned.

You bet. For two reasons. The one you mentioned -- they knew how to work the Foundation to get what they wanted (our uranium).

And the second being that, having hacked the family e-mail server, they had copies of all the e-mails which had been deleted...and were in a position to blackmail President Hillary for everything this nation was worth.

In contrast, what was in it for Russia to help elevate Trump to the presidency? Nothing.

Interfering with the presidential election is what the treasonous enemedia, acting as the PR arm of the Hillary Clinton campaign (an unreported illegal in-kind campaign contribution), did when it ignored Wikileaks but, in a co-ordinated effort, published fairytales about “Trump ties to Russia” and “Trump’s Russian hackers” to smear him and con the public into voting for Hilliary.

Bottom line: Hot air.  
The presumptuous and obviously left-politically influenced and disappointed with the election libs within the CIA are simply making suppositions,..talk about “fake news”,..geeesh! 
If your read this whole stupid article,.it becomes very clear that the CIA had no tangible connection of the Russians being able to influence our elections,..only that they wanted to,.well whoopy do dah day!,..We would like to see a more plural election in Russia too,.but so what?,..Bottom line,.they are only assuming with their supposed educated guess and stamping it with the CIA seal. If that is all they have,..then the CIA should be professionally detached and just shut up!

Another case of standard xlintonista diversionary misdirection.

Hildabeast cries “russian hack” as a head fake to keep the attention away from her own crooked dealings with the russians on the uranium deal or podesta’s oil stock deal.

“Information” is muddier than the Mississippi River and all from anonymous sources.

IOW - rumors and gossip.

Yup. How much money did the Russians give to Trump?

Oops...Never mind...

The insane left can hardly accuse Trump of being a part of that so called ‘Vast right-wing conspiracy’. The so called ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’ group, in large part turned out to be the ‘never-Trump’ crowd. I am NOT buying this junk that Putin worked to elect Trump. Trump's agenda leaves little for the Russian method of operation.. Hillary's predisposition to sell US treasures would have benefited the Russians first and foremost.
