Trump’s bogus claim that intelligence report says Russia didn’t impact the 2016 election outcome
Washington Post ^ | 1/7/17 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 01/07/2017 12:45:18 PM PST by madprof98

he big, overarching reason that President-elect Donald Trump doesn't want to accept the conclusions of the intelligence community about Russia's alleged hacking is pretty simple: It would call into question whether he would have won the 2016 election without it. Trump is a winner, and it would hurt his brand.

And he's making that very clear right now — in a deceptive way.

These people are making the New York Daily News seem like a reputable news organ. Bezos is waging war on Trump. If I were Trump, I would shut Amazon down.

Yet they won’t mention a single revelation found from the leaked emails because they know it’ll remind people why HRC sucked so much.

You MSMers didnt even reprint Wikileaks or comment on them. Or investigate them.

Too busy worrying about Donald’s locker room talk from years ago

If anyone tried to “influence the election” it was Compost et al

And not for the “Right Reasons” The revelations in WL blew Access HW out of the water. But in MSM’s evil biased minds, truth and issues don’t matter. Only sex and cheerleading

WaPo has been caught lying a couple times over fake news and the power grid. WaPo can not be fully trusted as a source.

Russia didn’t “impact” the election. The unrefuted revelations of Democrat corruption and perfidy undoubtedly impacted the election to some extent. America got to learn something about candidate Mrs Clinton. America still doesn’t know much about the probably foreigner who has been the President for 8 years.

‘Surely Brutus was an honorable man’ ... as his character is stealthily attacked by ... Trump is not what ‘concern trolls’ are trying to carefully overlay onto our perceptions.

I think it influenced the outcome of the election.

Still, the stuff that came out was TRUE. This was really the exact opposite of fake news. It was hidden reality brought to the light. I’d like to see more of it to be honest. To really know what our politicians think of us in the public would be a great service and Wikileaks and whoever hacked the DNC did the country a favor.

HOW did it affect the elections? The MSM never seems to address that issue.

So, the argument is:

Russia hacked the DNC and Podesta. They used the information to help Trump beat Clinton. It helped Trump by highlighting the corruption of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

OK, so the WaPo is saying that the revelations should have remained secret so that the election would be “fair”?

So, the revelation that Clinton and the DNC are sleazes and corrupt is not relevant to the election?

You think 'what' influenced the outcome of the election? The Russians did NOT leak/hack Pod's emails. The leakers have said repeatedly it was an insider that LEAKED. Furthermore, name one thing that was leaked that made YOU , in the event you did NOT vote for Hillry Clinton, vote for Trump?

Trump’s bogus claim that intelligence report says Russia didn’t impact the 2016 election outcome

RATaganda to English translation:

The public awareness of crooked Hilary's criminal activity and cheating, did impact the 2016 election outcome.

(it ruined our media coverup)

I think people's minds were already made up.

The election had everything to do with Clinton telling Pennsylvanians that she's going to kill coal jobs. It had everything to do with Trump telling Michigan that he's bringing auto jobs back. It had everything to do with Clinton not campaigning at all in Wisconsin.

The people who tried to influence the election were those who ran D+7 polls that showed Clinton winning by 4%, and those who were arguing over how big her blowout would be.

I think the Russian hack of the DNC’s and Podesta’s emails that Wikileaks obtained from someone and published were a big negative that weighed on Hillary’s support in November.

The comments about saying one thing in public and another in private were a big deal. The speeches to Itau contained significant support for big US financial institutions that led people who thought Trump would not hire a bunch of ex-Goldman Sachs bankers to key positions to support him. It was a big deal and a big story during the campaign. Don’t be an idiot and say it wasn’t. It’s simply my opinion that it was a positive. I wish the RNC had been hacked as well so we could see what they think of us.

Complete bull. These idiots refuse to accept that they pitted a terrible, irritating, flatfooted candidate against a witty, urban force of nature. He was not to be stopped.
