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

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.

[Just mythoughts]

What part of the Russians DID NOT supply anybody Pod's emails do YOU not get? The real dirty stuff was found on Wiener's laptop which Congress now has. AND nobody has leaked them. IF the Russians were hacking and leaking they would have gone in for the ‘kill’. Wikileaks has said repeatedly that an insider gave them the LEAKS. NOT the Russians.

I enjoy reading the comments after WaPuke articles. Mostly against Trump, but I did find some interesting things that started me thinking. Most seem to believe that the Russians hacked the emails and the content of the emails is why Hillary lost. That is likely true. They also believe that Comey resurrected the investigation into Hillary just to harm her. BUT he basically exonerated her AGAIN right before the election. Some seem to believe the ‘hack’ was intentionally directed at defeating Hillary because ‘the Russians’ didn’t leak any RNC info and they believe the RNC must have been hacked, too. Preibus said the RNC wasn’t hacked, which I believed because we all know our side is far more concerned with security is every phase of life. BUT here is where the Libs show their stupidity.......if the RNC (like the DNC) wanted one specific person to triumph in the primaries (Jeb), how come Trump won? The RNC was working hard against Trump, but there was no proof that the RNC was rigging the primaries, especially since their candidate didn’t win. Libs still put their faith in Big Media....one guy even pointed out that the WaPuke had printed a Fake News story about the Russians hacking the Vermont power grid (which we all know didn’t happen), but the libs ignore whatever doesn’t fit into their echo chamber. Rant over.

That’s bogus dude.

[WhatNot]

Remember when China repeatedly hacked the US and stole data on nukes, FBI & war plans. Remember how Obummer took swift and decisive action against........oh, wait never mind.

[Jarhead9297]

And that would be wholly unconstitutional

[gibsonguy]

I have to say the WP is surpassing the NYT as BS generator and that’s saying something. The so called hacked info never “came out” because the MSM sat on anything that hurt HRC or the Rats. I was in the camp to just me the story die down but now I hope Trump goes after these bastards hard. The illegitimacy stuff is taking hold too much for comfort and will be user by Linda, McTraitor and others to cause all kinds of problems.

Nothing to see here folks but Fake News. Move on. Not to worry.

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.

That is the entire purpose of this farce, and anyone with a clue realizes such.

[Stepan12]

Fake news.

[Stepan12]

Oh, and Obama did foreign interference to defeat Bibi Netanyahu on taxpayer money. However, Obama failed in that as he fails in everything else.

[Just mythoughts]

It is my opinion, this ‘Russian hacking’ our election, is just like that Benghazi video, Hillry and Bozo advertised to the world that hijacked their weapons depot.

The really big news is sitting on Anthony Wiener's laptop. And the Congress is in possession of Wiener's 6 hundred thousand + emails.

[UCANSEE2]

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

For the MEDIA to call the Clintons/DNC sleazes and corrupt would be to call themselves sleazes/corrupt BECAUSE THEY ARE LITERALLY IN BED WITH EACH OTHER.

Anybody remember a guy by the name of Anthony Wiener?

I just didn’t know who to vote for until ole Vlad called up!

"it does not say there's “no evidence that hacking affected the election results.” In fact, on the latter count, it says pretty clearly that it isn't making any such determination."

So, they are splitting hairs between "there is no evidence that hacking affected the election" (Trump) and "[we aren't] making any such determination [that the hack affected the election] (FBI/CIA). What a huge gulf between what Trump said and what the intelligence agencies said!!! /sarc

And these are the same buttholes who are deliberately conflating "hacked the DNC" with "hacked the election."

How many times does a man have to lie before you consider him a liar and untrustworthy? How many times must a news source file fake news stories before you consider the source untrustworthy as a source for truth?

[Bogie]

These are the guys who pissed off the Germans by hacking Merkel a few years ago.

[sport]

Where is your proof that the Russians hacked? Back up what you are saying with facts.

[Carthego delenda est]

Of course the Washington Compost is going to do everything possible to smear Trump, disrupt the Trump administration, and print as much propaganda to fan the flames of libtard’s anger and hatred towards all of us “deplorables”. Ownner Bezos is the third richest man on the planet and a member of the Bilderberg Group, pushing to destroy nation states in favor of a One World Government.
