The Left is suddenly interested in Russian shenanigans. Need they be reminded of their rejection of HUAC, Joe McCarthy, investigations of Alger Hiss.....?

Because there weren’t any Russian hacks.

In summary, they didn’t need an excuse at that time as they were sure that Benghazi would win.

Lying sacks of crap will lie, big surprise, about being lying sacks of crap. They knew about it but they didn’t know they knew about it. Uh huh. But what they knew about it wasn’t enough to know if what they were knowing about it was enough to say they knew about it.

Very transparent.

So, instead of doing the right thing, he gambled on what he thought was a sure thing and lost on many levels.

Why are people just accepting the premise by CNN that Russians hacked? And why do people keep forgetting there’s a huge difference between “hacking” and inside “leaking?” This fake news is being bought hook, line and sinker.

And why does no one ever mention Steve Pieczenik and the alleged “countercoup” that was supposed to have targeted OH, WI, MI, FL, and MI, stopping HIllary from cyber-tampering the election results as they were sent in from the state level?

And where is Julian Assange? Why has he disappeared and no one seems to be looking for him? Is he in hiding or is he dead?

So many questions...

I do not believe for a second that agents of the Russian government hacked the DNC.
It is possible that citizen Russian hackers could have done it, but my first bet would be someone inside the campaign or in the states.

They have to go with “The Russians hacked the election” because if they go with “The Russians hacked Podesta’s emails” they’d have to admit that the contents of the email leak killed Hillary’s campaign. And never mind “An insider leaked the emails”.

The Democratic Party is in the middle of a raging forest fire that they started. They are destroying themselves, they are destroying the press, they are destroying the fascist globalist agenda, they are destroying the legacy of the 1960’s.

Burn, baby, burn.

I saw several threads on the topic but didn’t read any of them.

The Russians gave him the November election results after the primaries ended. Comrade obama is furious because he was deceived.

Just to see how it’s playing, I flipped over to PBS News. They spent about 20 minutes on this. It is being reported as a for certain fact-no mention of any of the people or organizations that disputed that the hack of the DNC was the Russians.

I was thinking that well over a month ago, and before the WikiLeaks deluge, that it was reported that the hack was not due to any foreign influence. Anybody else remember that?

No the media is the propaganda. The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos - he has contract with CIA. The Washington Post has a long history of peddling CIA propaganda. Do a search on Operation Mockingbird. So does the NY Times, and most of the Mainstream Media. One of the Saudi’s owns a big chunk of Fox.

As far as I can tell, looking at multiple stories in LSM and independent news:

The voting machines can’t be “hacked” as they are not on the internet. There are ways to fix the machines is what I have read, but I guess they didn’t fix it good enough - hard to steal a landslide.

The DNC computers were hacked. IIRC, there were 2 hacks of the DNC - one was for over a year before it was discovered. This might have been the NSA.

The RNC asked the FBI to check their systems, and the FBI claimed that there was no hacking of RNC-per Reince.

Hillary’s lack of security resulted in deaths of under cover agents, and so some of the Intelligence Services don’t want her-particularly the NSA per Judge Napolitano.

There is evidence to suggest that Seth Rich leaked the data to WikiLeaks-he’s dead, so he ain’t talking. However, since China and Russia are continually hacking all our systems all the time, and Hillary doesn’t seem to be competent with respect to Cyber Security, it is more than possible that some hacking was attempted by many foreign entities.

When the first hacks made the mainstream news, there was immediate denial of any Foreign involvement. They also made fun of Trump for talking about rigging an election and voter fraud.

My opinion is that they thought they had the systems all in place to steal the election, but underestimated what they needed, or else there weren’t enough dead and illegal people to stuff the ballots.

Add to this mix, the Anthony Weiner snafu. His computer was confiscated and contained Hillary’s missing emails and the Podesta files. IIRC, they were under a section called Insurance. NY police Dept. informed FBI, and may have threatened to go public.

As people started combing through the WikiLeaks and the Podesta stuff from WikiLeaks, Comey came out and said he was reopening the email investigation- this was so that he could very quickly come back out and indicate that there was nothing there so that people would quit looking into it, and Media could peddle the story that her email had nothing else that had not already been discussed so that she was “cleared” before the election-JMHO

Standard operations for Clintons is deflect from the scandal with something else - notice all the talk is now about hacking, and not about content nor the accuracy of what the leaks were revealing.

I think this is all just one big PSYOPS and counter PSYOPS communication revealed to the American people while the people in Power are struggling behind the scenes - sometimes called the Deep State. Pray the ones who want to preserve USA are successful and the electors stay true. Then pray that some “random nut” doesn’t pull a JFK.
