Russian Hacking Conspiracy Theory Implodes
frontpagemag.com ^ | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 12/16/2016 8:56:00 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The Left’s crusade against Republican presidential electors is kicking into high gear even as the CIA-attributed story that Russian hackers won the White House for Donald Trump is going up in flames.

There is still no evidence –at least none that has been made publicly available– that the Russian government or Russian-backed cyber militias hacked anything to help Trump win the election but that’s not halting the Left’s efforts to delegitimize his presidency before it even begins.

Against this backdrop, members of the Electoral College are preparing to gather this Monday in the 50 states and the District of Columbia to fulfill their constitutional duty. Adding to the drama, some electors are demanding intelligence briefings on the alleged hacking before they vote.

*snip*

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose site released thousands of purported emails from senior Democrats during the recent election campaign, threw cold water on the Russian hacking conspiracy theory.

Assange told Sean Hannity yesterday, “Our source is not the Russian government.” He also said the information WikiLeaks received “has not come from a state party.”

What Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 17 suggests Assange may be right.

“As far as the WikiLeaks connection [to Russian hackers is concerned] the evidence there is not as strong and we don’t have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when the data may have been provided,” Clapper said. “We don’t have as good insight into that.”

Not really... they are losing everyone else... the lunatics are a lost cause, and insufficient to retain power without fraudulent elections. Almost without exception, everything the Democrats have accused others of doing since the election is what they have actually done or are currently doing: election fraud, fake news, creating distrust of our electoral process, fostering hatred and violence, foreign influence in an election. Why did Obama hand control of the internet to the globalists? Because the left are globalists... truth is their enemy and the internet has been an instrument for exposing hidden truths. I would not be surprised one bit if this ‘fake news’ bit is the first ‘policy’ addressed by the new internet overlords.

I need everyone to understand, the left never quits.

They have no agenda, they have no purpose, they have no reason.

They want nothing to be in charge.

who needs breaks when you are typing stream of consciousness? I’ll write off my lack of adequate formatting to an over-reliance on word processing, editors and publishers in my daily work.

My attitude about all this Russian stuff is this...if they did somehow influence the election, the Russians did us a huge favor.

It is being ignored by the media but I must have dreamed he said that.

I seem to recall hearing that myself.

During her campaign, Hillary said that she would use military force against Russia for cyberattacks. Plus, she kept telegraphing that she wants to nuke Russia by projecting that desire on Trump.

Since she didn't win the election, and there is no reason for Trump to start war with Russia, I suspect that Obama is trying desperately to provoke a war before he gets out of office.

Once the electors vote, is there any way to inaugurate Trump immediately, to preclude the left from instigating war with Russia while they still have power?

The demand was put by Vladimir Putin....... put up or shut up.

Having jumped off the cliff into the raging river and heading for the frothy waterfall, the left has done neither. In mid air just before plunging to the raging river depths the collective left did neither. From the highest seats of power to the trivial class B actors, they could do nothing to save themselves

Think Putin will publicly ask Brack, where is your real birth certificate? Or, who are you really?

If their spies are any good, you know that Russia, Israel, and the UK know the truth about Obama’s birth certificate.

> Theory? The press and the DEMs (but I repeat myself) have been asserting it as FACT, not theory. #fakenews, all the time.

And Putin really shoved it up their back piehole with the, "prove it or shut up". And with Assange saying that the source of the information wasnt Russian I bet some of the electors who said one of the reasons they were changing their vote had to do with Russia meddling in our elections I net they are starting to pee their pants. Wouldn't it be funny if the leaked info came from one of their own who became disgusted once he got embedded deep into camps and saw what the Demoncrat Party was all about.

I think Putin is well aware of our current political situation and that it's the lunatic left's and the MSM making all the claims about Russian hacking and elections meddling. He also knows a Trump (a real man who doesnt go into bath houses, lie his ass off to the American people all the time, and is willing to roll up his sleeves to work instead of play golf) is on the way to unseat the meddling Muslim Manchurian psychopath and he has friends on staff tha share his common interests that could enrich his country financially. I don't think Putin wants war with the U.S.

Indeed.

Russia is a huge trading partner (although they benefit way more than we do). Why would they want to risk that?

...and the deligitimization process continues, and continues and continues, no matter what evidence exists, no matter if reality is disregarded.

Herr Goebbles would be extremely proud of these leftist
uber mensches.

IMHO

Nonetheless, we should go back to paper ballots.

Just to be safe.

Oh. And also just to be safe, we should clean up the voter rolls to removed dead people.

There. DemocRATS. That make you happy?

Obama tries to redefine his legacy with crocodile tears? Buahahahahahaha. His last presser of 2016 was a total embarrassment.

If we think about how the CIA was made to facilitate the State Departments horrible Arab Spring community organizer debacle, FAILED .Few remember now that this was accomplished by radical application of Social media led by Google, Facebook and twitter. There is good reason why Twitter did not attend the recent Silicon Valley summit at Trump Tower, because they were accomplices in betraying US allies Libya and Egypt, and Trump intends to bring the hurt on them, as he should.

When Arab Spring failed in Libya Obama convinced NATO to reduce Tripoli to rubble, caused the assassination of a US ally,opened up the heart of Africa to groups like Boko Haram, and caused the deaths of thousands of Christians in Egypt at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This eventually set in motion hoards of refugees from Syria, which also had been destabilized by Obama through Arab Spring, the CIA helped him. Now oon TV last night Obama was inviting sympathy with the crocodile tears of a defeated Alinsky ideologue, saying how his failure in Syria bothered him, while he tried to community organize his way out of war instead of putting boots on the ground in Syria, which also would have been a mistake, unless he agreed to help Russia protect itself from the advancing hoards of Muslim Refugees.

You can bet that Putin is Obama’s mortal enemy.Few understand it though, which is why I am holding forth here at length. Putin may be Obama’s enemy but he is not America’s enemy.

I can hardly wait until Obama goes wailing his crocodile tears into the dist bin/crapper of history. He is more than an embarrassment, he is exemplary of the Utopian Left fascist, who refuses to believe that his Alinsky based international politics have failed, bringing about millions of deaths in the Middle East.

BUT THE US PUBLIC NOW IS BEGINNING TO KNOW.

America will never again elect a Community Organizer in Chief.

Putin saw Obama coming and in order to prevent an influx of a million Muslim refugees into The Crimea , Putin seized it and the Eastern Ukraine, in self defense.And he sealed the borders.

And NOW Obama has the profoundly treasonous temerity to falsely accuse Russia of hacking the US election? What a laugh.

Obama attempted to unleash a demographic invasion of Russia via hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees, but the bulk went to Western Europe, and in the process are destroying the EU , thanks to Obama.

Putin wins with the battle of Aleppo, as Obama tries to publicly shame Putin with the killing of innocents. Obama’s problem is that Putin does not have a utopian liberal heart, and has chosen to defend Russia, better for Syrians to die than Russians.Who can blame Putin in these circumstances?

Obama is a miserable failure trying to cover his a$$ by accusing Russia of something it did not do.Something it did not have to do. In all likelihood Assange received the DNC information from one or two disgruntled DNC staffers , who were angered by how Bernie Sanders had been treated, along with several US intelligence officers who did not want to see Clinton achieve the presidency because of how she had traduced US security law, and escaped prosecution by a completely traduced DOJ under Lynch.

Russia did not have to do a damn thing to sway the US election. Obama and Clinton effed themselves and got royally screwed by DNC leakers and an angry unidentified group of unidentified intelligence officers,just as Obama and Clinton were trying to screw America.
