Well now hang on just a second. One of the 4chan kids says that whoever hacked Podesta’s iCloud account got the credentials from one of the Podesta emails that had already been released by Wikileaks. So doesn’t this mean there was a prior hacking by some entity other than the 4chan gamer kids?

Russian news reported the truth about Hillary. They are to be gratefully thanked for this, and hopefully they’ll keep reporting truth.

If Russia is required for us to get proof that the DNC rigged the debates. And the Press rigged their coverage. And Hillary was selling access and favors to the US government. And the President and Hillary lied to us, then I guess we will take the truth no matter who is giving it to us.

Remember democracy is based on truth of information decimated to the electorate. And like with the Pentagon Papers or Watergate, I think Wikileaks or someone in Russia deserves a Pulitzer.

FAKE NEWS

Lie of Misdirectional Pivot

Democrat liars define “Hack” as Political Hack
Media liars talk software technical hack

Like Islamics, truth is whatever nonsense is in my head, that I am not telling you.

Mistake. Never surrender to liberals. Ever.

I agree. Trump needs to tell it like it is.

He should say, "the CIA has been politicized. Obama, Hillary, Clapper and Brennen are documented liars. All governments try to hack all the time. I have no idea if the Russians are responsible for these specific leaks. But I do know that the leaks show that Hillary, the Democrats and the media are dishonest".

“Russian news reported the truth about Hillary”

Well if that is what Kellyanne stated then I take back what I said. for 8 years we have to go foreign media to get anything close to the truth. If on the other hand she stated the Russian “hacks” helped Trump that is a different statement. She seems way too smart and quick on her feet to have done that.

I’ve no doubt they have evidence showing the Russian’s attempting to hack Hillary’s server, maybe something too that indicates communication with Wikileaks servers. Even so, proving that it was the Russian’s that stole all the email data and provided it to Wikileaks, which then “changed the election”, is a very different thing. The constant omission of information is striking, it stinks of the same media collusion we saw during the election:

- Shared meme; the Russian’s hacked the servers and provided to wikileaks which influenced voters.
- While the Russian’s probably did try to hack all sorts of servers, as they always have, what about the Chinese, N. Korean’s, Iranian’s, etc. - they all probably were too.
- Julian Assange has explicitly stated he didn’t get the information from the Russian’s.
- Nobody talks about the fact that if the DNC and Hillary’s campaign weren’t engaging in the activities they were then none of this would be relevant.

There’s no “proof” of anything, just accusations and media story lines. My fear though is that our own intelligence services have been politically compromised. The DNI providing this information is the same guy that told us there was no systematic collection of peoples phone meta-data, which was a lie. Is Obama pressuring them to only disclose information telling a specific story and omitting other details?

I wonder what more these idiots can to in the next few days to help the dems delegimatize the win. This seems to be a bonehead move. Even if it’s a feint or fake, there would seem to be a dozen better ways to do it.

“Trump strategy: Strategically accept, insofar as it is useless to do anything else, and impossible to gainsay it all, until he is sworn in. Why keep the nonsense roiling endlessly. See what is flushed out and take notes.”

Exactly right. Take away the Libs’ Russian talking points until he gets into office and can find out what the real truth is. Smart move, ... for now. More to come later, once he is in office and can find out where all the bodies are buried.

If the Russians had done this to the Republicans the Democrats and the propaganda organs would be nominating Putin for a Nobel prize.

Prezactly.

‘Russian Hacking’ = ‘Trump’s online army beat the living shit out of our usually successful attempts to swing the election to the Dem and Bannon probably personally signed the paychecks for 3 million Russian bots!’.

Wanna see neocon/liberal rage? He needs to tweet that he is gonna follow his predecessor’s example and international law. That as soon as he is sworn in, he will file a formal complaint with the UN international court.

Yep, that might just might make McCain’s head violently explode!

There goes the first knife in Trump’s back. But who did not know that was going to happen? And it won’t be the last. Donald, you better get the hell away from the Establishment Republicans while you can.

Trump accepts other countries do intelligence gathering as we all do that’s about it.

Is that the Intel report where the foundation, annex “A” of the report, was complied in 2012? The heavily redacted report is now public. Look at the fine print on the bottom of annex A.

The dems and that evil witch have nobody to blame but themselves for their incredibly lax IT security. Why isn't the media focusing on Huma and Hillary putting top secret info out via insecure servers?

So what if the Russians have used ibots to boost alt media like infowars and have infiltrated twitter, isn't this sort of thing to be expected? Put whatever proof they have of these various allegations out there and let the people decide just how supposedly nefarious this so called "Russian hacking" was and what influence it supposedly had on the election. Whatever Russian involvement there was seems relatively minor in effect, and this continued uproar nothing more than straight up anti-Russia propaganda by those wanting to maintain a particularly adversarial relationship with them.
