U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he has unrevealed information about alleged Russian hacking during the presidential election that he plans to present next week.
Speaking briefly to reporters on his way to a New Year’s party in the U.S. state of Florida, Trump responded to a query about the alleged hacking by saying: “I know things that other people don’t know” and “you will find out on Tuesday or Wednesday [January 3 or 4].”
He also said that he still believes the hacking of emails of U.S. Democratic Party officials could have been carried out by “somebody else” other than Russia. He said he knows a lot about computer hacking and that it’s “a very hard thing to prove.”
Last week, the U.S. government expelled 35 Russian diplomats and imposed sanctions against Russian security officials and agencies over the alleged hacking. U.S. intelligence agencies have said they believe Moscow ordered the hacking in order to help Trump win the election....

“2017 hell of a year.” Isn’t that what Wikileaks just tweeted ?
This is going to be fun!
It's pretty self explanatory which one of the Obamas is Moose and which one is the squirrel
the system was not hacked, stuff was leaked from a disgruntled source or sources.
Last week, the U.S. government expelled 35 Russian diplomats

AND their families.
‘They’ have been telling us for years that ILLEGALS can not be ‘expelled’ because it would disrupt their family life.
So, to act as ‘dumb’ as them, I can’t see why it is OK to expel INVITED GUESTS but be afraid to hurt the feelings of INTERLOPERS and ILLEGALS.
As to taking the ‘father’ away from families, the courts have been doing that for years - to lawbreakers.
I’ve never bought into the Russian hacking theory regarding the released stuff. Oh, I’m sure Russia spies on us and tries to gain information and vice versa, but all the value in the information is that no one else knows about it and you keep it close to the vest. Once you make it public you’re just a whistle blower. It is of no value to you anymore.
It’s almost like the Democrats and McCain-Republicans are trying to make Putin a hero, and I don’t think he is one.
Okay I surrender. I keep wondering and trying to figure out what SJW stands for. I think I missed that one when it was born.

Holy Cow! This is THE Radio Free Europe. The one I used to hear about all the time growing up during the Cold War.
Serious Jerk Wankers
Obama knows what Trump knows, Obama has a problem and not Trump. I suspect patriots in the FBI and the NSC are leaking information to Trump.
I am probably not the only long-time anti-communist who is growing very tired of this pointless “Russian hacking scandal” being sold by the same people who always avoided facing the reality of real Soviet disinformation campaigns.
This has the quality of a band of hyenas who peed in the lions’ watering hole and are hiding behind some rocks watching to see what will happen next. And the lions are coming down the path behind them.
Of course, Putin paid me to say this. Twenty bucks. Not too shabby, I remember when Soviet agents used to get thirty but hey, whatever. /s
Hussein is way more of an international socialist than Pooty-Poot. That is when he is not working to create the Universal Caliphate...
Grizzly Misstep: Security Experts Call Russia Hacking Report “Poorly Done,” “Fatally Flawed”

Damn good post. Most with the exception of those on Free Republic even understand what you posted.
Clap, clap, clap.
We cannot expel illegals because it disrupts their families, but we can expel Russian diplomats ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
Another liberal hypocrite example.
Yep.
Somewhere in this administration we ended up on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

Exactly. And every single time I hear the Russians hacked our election from one of the talking heads it just infuriates me.
It’s the old.....if they say it often enough it becomes true.
No network can be secure if left in the hands of John Podesta and HRC.
They fell for the simplest of phishing tricks, and willfully gave away their passwords.
They had no other security, such as 2FA, on these accounts.
Our “elites” in action.
