There is no evidence. Only fake news.

I think the contents of their bug-out bags and plans depict what they think they deserve based on what they’ve done. Iran and NK are the only places they are untouchable, for now. Well, there’s that underground city they’ve been building for a few years now.... the one the Davos folks are investing in.

Podesta just dumb enough for phishing scam?

Highly likely he answered one of those emails for juvy russian porno.

While some of Wikileak’s past may be morally questionable, they have never gotten anything wrong. They’ve been around for twelve years, and their leaks have always been 100% accurate.

On the other hand, you have the US intelligence community, which has a very long and well known history of deceit and shadiness.

So which do we trust on this? Not so difficult of a decision for me.

Thanks to the assortment of Trump haters, I now know more about this stupid, albeit highly vicious, “trumped-up” RUSSIA-GATE than I ever wanted to know!

Add me to the rapidly growing roster of Julian Assange believers!

With the DNC, it’s quite possible both occurred.

Pudesta’s IT guy, charles delevan told him that the phishing email was legit. I think delevan needs to ne looked at.

Podesta’s password was actually the word password?

Too bad it wasn’t SomalianPizza.

Hmmmm.... let's see:

A) Trump can believe a guy who, after years and years of thousands of info drops, has never once been shown to have lied or deceived anyone...

-or-

B) Trump can accept without proof the word of an agency (CIA) for which the acts of lying and deception are openly considered "good tradecraft."

I haven't got a clue which he should more readily believe...

LOL

Apparently we need 17 different intelligence agencies.

Ergo - the CIA is not doing their job.

CIA - You’re fired!

‘17’ is the magical number that refers to the legal age of consent in DC.

How many times has the “intelligence community” got it wrong in the last 25 yrs? 9/11, Iraq and WMD’s, Mass illegal surveillance of US citizens without warrants and to what end we get the Boston bombing, San Bernadino, etc..., North Korea doesn’t have nukes—oops they do, Iran isn’t building a nuke, oops they are...

The US intelligence community needs a collective enema at all levels and in every agency. They need to have the dangerous political bent they have taken ripped out at the roots, lots of people outright fired and a complete reorganization.

If I were Trump I would take everything they tell me with a grain of salt. They have no credibility at this point. They would have to prove to me they had the USA’s protection as their top priority instead of their own.
