Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?

I distinctly recall that the Democrats and the Obama administration made the claim leading up to the election that the Russians might try to act like they hacked the election in some places, but that it was not possible and to ignore it. I believed, when I heard it, that the administration was laying the ground work to cover for states where real election fraud was happening and to use the Russian BS as a cover story.

Fast forward to the upset... Trump overcame massive election fraud and surprised them, so they flipped their cover story to claim Trump won via the Russians!

I don't understand why our side has forgotten about the pre-election nonsense about the Russians that the Democrats were seeding the media with.

Hacking the election is nearly impossible. But that's not Russia's goal.

You are wrong! Church mice emanate a distinct chirping sound while mashing their teeth to sharpen them.

So far at least three investigators/lawyers, sent to investigate the Seth Rich matter and other Dem election felonies, have turned up dead. Two sent by Trey Gowdy, and another in Debbie Wasserman Schulz's district. All in the last couple months.

These bastards are sick, and they are deadly. And they need prison, bad.

I’ll take “Because they were meddling in the election to help Clinton win, not Trump” for $400, Alex.

Bingo!

If hillary had won, the obamas would have never been kept in the loop. The clintons would have locked them out. Bill would have had obama fetching him drinks and hillary would have had moosechelle ironing her pantsuits.

Almost worth it! Haha!

Why, because all the #fakepolls by the #fakenews told them Clinton was going to win, and she was in bed with the Russians, so it didn’t matter. It only became a big thing when Clinton lost, and they are attempting to overturn the results of the election.

Maybe the Russkies copied the techniques used by the Obama administration when Obama tried to deny Netanyahu re-election in Israel.

What is this all about? Here’s my take ...

The claimed Russian interference is being carefully linked to the concept of fake news about Hillary Clinton.

Logic tells us there are four possible scenarios.

(1) There was, as claimed by Democrats, Russian interference and use of fake news stories about Hillary Clinton.

(2) There was Russian interference and use of true news stories about Hillary Clinton.

(3) There was no Russian interference but some other actors spread fake news stories about Hillary Clinton.

(4) There was no Russian interference but news stories about Hillary Clinton were in fact true.

And of course there are subsets of the above, in which you have some Russian interference and some false, some true stories about Hillary Clinton.

Just saying that Russian interference somehow proves that fake news was being spread is not a given.

If there is an investigation, fine, but there should be equal weight given to a parallel investigation of whether various allegations about the Clintons are true or false.

One final thought, maybe Putin just didn’t want to live in a Hillary Clinton world. Who would?

Maybe the plan was for Putin to tilt the election Hillary’s way and he failed, or better yet, chose not to do it. What can the Dumbocrats claim?

Why, indeed.

Because the “hacking” was a hoax by the dems. They were just setting everything up, using that spyware that makes it appear that the hacking was coming from Russia.

Wikileaks confirmed the Russians did not give them information. They almost confirmed it came from Seth Rich.

The dems were doing the so-called “hacking”, just in case of a Hitlery loss....in case the 4.7 millions illegals didn’t tip the scales.

Oh, I know. It is ok for Obama to meddle in foreign elections.

Well, it isn’t illegal to meddle in ours from abroad either - how could we ever prosecute even if it was?

If every leader of every country in the world went on their tv and told Americans to vote for candidate x, it is not illegal.

However, if our candidate X paid for such a thing, we have problems. Even if X ended up losing. But show me where Trump paid Putin in order to help him win. Trump would never do such a thing and it didn’t happen, and Putin didn’t help Trump win.

The email exposure hurt Hillary. THAT WAS PODESTA’S FAULT.
