Bolton questions if Russian hacks were ‘false flag’
The Hill ^ | December 11, 2016 | Cyra Master

Posted on 12/11/2016 11:00:30 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who has been floated for a possible role in Donald Trump’s State Department, questioned reports of Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election.

“It is not at all clear to me, just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC was not a false flag operation,” he told Fox News’ Eric Shawn on Sunday.

When pressed about his use of the phrase “false flag” and whether he was accusing an entity in the U.S. of involvement, Bolton said, “We just don’t know.”

“But I believe that intelligence has been politicized in the Obama administration to a very significant degree.”

The Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA concluded Russia intervened in the election to help Trump win the presidency....

“But I believe that intelligence has been politicized in the Obama administration to a very significant degree.”>>>>>>>>>>>

Yep!

Even the CIA has been placed under the Obama boot, so that political correctness makes it impossible for the CIA to tell the difference between $hit and shinola.

Fact becomes secondary to ideology. Bolton knows this.

Why?

The sheer immorality and illegality of the activities of Clinton and Podesta as well as the corruption of the DNC were revealed by the release of these documents. What matters most, the messenger who discovered and disseminated this trove of crime or the crime itself? We ought appreciate the messenger even if it is Russia, while we must certainly condemn the activities the material revealed.

“Operation Fast & Furious” was a false-flag operation, was it not?

Bingo, the only “Russian hackers” were the guys rushin’ around in the DNC trying to fabricate this entire weak and laughable story. The sequence of events appears very fishy to me, almost an acknowledgement of guilt for some part of the general allegations against Podesta and the Clintons, and a last minute desperate effort to “explain” the scandal as Russian hacking.

I hope that the new administration pushes back against this dismal deception and shine a light on the real truth which is not going to be pretty. This could end the Democratic Party as a legitimate institution.

From what I have been reading, the WikiLeaks came from an insider in the State Department.

I also hope so.

An Obama false flag operation sounds more reasonable than the poppycock the democrats want everyone to believe.

Whenever democrats are adamant and insisting something is true, then it’s time to start looking for their ulterior motives. For example, a youtube video causing the death of a US ambassador.

It certainly was. Their hands to this day are covered in the blood of hundreds due to it.

At worse, the Russians were just whistle blowers letting the world know how corrupt the US Oligarchs had become. By doing so, they have strengthened our Representative Republic and made the world a safer place.

Freudian Projectionism. This story got big legs after Georgia announced the DHS had tried to hack their voter data base two days before the election. As soon as that broke, every Oligarch under the sun ran to a microphone to denounce Russian hacking. This means the Oligarchs must have had numerous rogue employees working at DHS and they probably successfully hacked a few states voting data bases. Whoever they could get access into. That hacked data was probably used for massive vote fraud as the illegals assumed the hacked identities.

I think you're on to something. The dems know they're caught red-handed so they use their buddies in the press to spread the rumor that ‘The Russians did it’.

That this all started from a Washpo story that only claims to have 'unnamed sources' is also very telling and suspicious in itself. They even have FOX news squawking it at this point. They're so used to being able to lie their way out of everything that they think they can get away with any lies at this point. This one may actually turn out to be one of the biggest political whoppers in history.

One thing's for certain, this has already poisoned the well for the new Trump administration.

I believe the CIA could have an investigation and have the outcome they wanted.

Then you could find another group within the CIA and they could have a totally different outcome.

They have become very politized as Bolton suggested.

They were not hacks. They were leaks and the leaker or one of the leakers is dead with a bullet in the back.

They are, in part, redirecting the national gaze from the substance of the information to the supposedly nefarious purveyors of the information. The substance is toxic.

4 people from the DNC died in about a 3 month period in the spring and summer. That is far too many to be a coincidence. The emails plainly show that the DNC is run like a mafia organization. If anyone is looking for a smoking gun on who might have affected the election, they would surely look into these 4 people otherwise they are being dishonest.

Trump is running over the Dems. They are scared shitless of what he will find when he takes over. Bolton knows the score as well as anyone. If notSOS he should be given a high position to feret out all the illict information in DC. I;m thinking something like Inspector General over all Departments. In Obama terms, a CSAR. Trump would do himself well to make Bolton very powerful. He knows the game and will get on it quickly. We could know about the corruption and have proof by March ‘17.

I believe the plan is to have Bolton be the #2 man at SOS, which of course would be key because Rex would be a rookie in his role.

I think this is the same kind of proposed pairing you see at DHS, where the thinking is to have Kobach be the #2 man. In both cases, hard-core guys who might be a challenge to get approved directly at the cabinet level.

I like the approach.
