Are They Planning To Use ‘Russian Interference’ As An Excuse To Invalidate Trump’s Election Victory?
The Economic Collapse ^ | 12/11/16 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 12/12/2016 4:08:45 AM PST by Enlightened1

It has been said that nothing happens by accident in politics, and it is certainly no accident that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, members of the U.S. Senate and the mainstream media are all suddenly buzzing about “Russian hacking” and “Russian interference” in our elections.  Over the past 48 hours, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and just about every other major news source in America has been breathlessly telling us that the CIA has concluded that the Russians “intervened” in the presidential election with the specific goal of helping Donald Trump win.  The implication is that if the Russian interference was significant enough, it could have “unfairly” altered the outcome of the election and thus Donald Trump’s victory was not legitimate.  And if his victory was not legitimate, that opens up all sorts of possibilities for the Democrats.

For those that have been wondering if the establishment was going to attempt to steal the presidency away from Donald Trump before he can be inaugurated, we now appear to have our answer.

There are several ways that this could work, and we’ll take it one step at a time.

On Friday, we were suddenly assaulted with all sorts of headlines about how the U.S. intelligence community has concluded that the Russians interfered in the election and that they did so with the intention of helping Trump win.  The following example comes from CNBC

The people advocating this are emotional children. We live in a free society with freedom of expression. What they seem to want is a hermetically sealed bubble where only “approved” information gets in or out. That’s never going to happen unless you like in a North Korean like state. And even then, you can’t stop people from talking amongst themselves.

Sure, they’ll get a few stooges like John McCain and Lindsay Graham to play along (I call them the usual suspects) and hold meaningless hearings, but I’d be floored if it goes anywhere.

Until the Electoral College meets this is still for the most part 51 separate elections.

The Russians didn't do it. They had no need. Hillary was already co-operating with them as evidenced by the uranium deal. Besides, which a Foreign country would be more likely hold onto the information for black mail.

This was an inside job could have been Seth Rich or NSA(Judge Napolitano is on record stating it was NSA). It also was so damning that Jesse Jackson rushed forward to tell Obama to pardon Hillary, thereby admitting that he knew it to be true info, or else he would have said the info was wrong.

So I think whoever did it saved the USA from electing what many consider to be a criminal guilty of treason, and Trump's electors should help save the country by voting for Trump, just like the people did.

Since when is election information fair? Remember Rathergate? There is always opposition research and an October surprise. Every candidate should be prepared to face all their sins or else to stop sinning. What's unfair is that the sycophants in the news keep these dirty little secrets from the American public, instead of investigating and releasing truthful and accurate info.

At the very least, they should quit using insecure systems to document their dirty tricks in an email.

They are certainly going to try. That’s what this is all about: a last ditch effort to steal the election.

It ain't over until President Trump is sworn in...and even then, it won't be over. Everyone who's breathing a sigh of relief, don't go back to sleep.

If you haven’t already, look up “Article the First.” The Founders already accounted for representation in the very first proposed amendment to the Constitution, but it wasn’t ratified. Given today’s communication media, Article the First would fix the DC cesspool and give much of the country back to the people.

The evil, viciousness, and ruthlessness of these people and the depths to which they are willing to sink are not to be underestimated.

Their intelligence is not to be overestimated, though they do it routinely and this is to our advantage.

They will try, but those who elected him know better and those who did not will just discuss amongst themselves ad infinitum.

There is that j@ck@$$ J. McCain to mess it all up...

"The organizations also found evidence that Russia hacked the Republican National Committee’s computer systems, but did not release the information.

Reince Priebus categorically denied that the RNC was hacked by Russians or anyone else:

If there is a partial hole in the Wapo story, why does anybody believe any part of it?

What they would say is, “So what, what difference, at this point does it make?” or “Move on” or “Get over it” or “Black helicopter” or “Vast...conspiracy”, etc. This is laughable considering this blast from the past - via Wikipedia: (please note: “at the suggestion of CLINTON”, so it was our Government messing in their election, not just Carville privately.

“After 1992 Carville stopped working on domestic campaigns, stating that he would bring unneeded publicity. He then worked on a number of foreign campaigns, including those of Tony Blair – then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom – during the 2001 general election; Ehud Barak of Israel’s Labor Party (at the suggestion of Clinton, who had grown frustrated with Benjamin Netanyahu’s intransigence in the peace process) in the 1999 Knesset election; and the Liberal Party of Canada. In 2002, Carville helped Bolivian Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada win the presidency in Bolivia, while working as a Greenberg Carville Shrum (GCS) strategist. This was portrayed in the documentary Our Brand Is Crisis.”

McCain is a “non-person”, just ignore everything that comes out of his pie hole.

I told my wife this would happen (in some way) on Nov. 9th, though I of course did not know the tactics the Dems would take......no suprise here.

If they keep it up (which they will), it could end up with civil war, and chaos.

And I still think there will be an attempt on our President-elect’s life before his inauguration by a leftist looney......

We knew that this would be their invented response even before the election. They were preparing the battlefield with their excuse to delegitimize President Trump. The claim that Russia hacked our election is completely false, just like their claim that President George W. Bush was “selected not elected”, but it gives them a narrative to hold onto.

They would like to. They can’t. They know that. Second best they are simply making all the hysteria and chaos they can to discredit and neutralize the Trump Presidency. We will get 4 years of this crap at continuously fever pitch. It will give encouragement to the Republicans to also oppose Trump as hard as they can. Republicans will probably call for Trump’s impeachment sometime in the 4 years. Trump can handle this successfully but the methods will not be to the liking of Conservatives/Constitutionalists. Unfortunately it will take a seriously unConstitutional interregnum (interRepublicum?) to restore the Constitution. We are not maintaining the Constitution. The Constitution has been effectively sidelined altogether by the last 4 presidencies. The things that still seem Constitutional remain only as customs that it would be too disturbing to the totalitarian project to eliminate yet.

Remember when that idiot Brit Hume said that Trump’s potential refusal to accept the outcome of the election was “unprecedented”? I haven’t heard him comment about Jill Stein, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, et al and their efforts to overturn the election. But then, I don’t watch or listen to Fox News anyway...

They can openly call for whatever the #### they want.

ANY of this happens and we go to war.

I don’t say that lightly. Dont want to get shot and don’t want to die yet.

But we’d have no choice.

As others have noted, no matter who the hackers were, NO ONE HAS CHALLENGED THE FACT THAT ALL THAT WAS PROVIDED WAS THE TRUTH!!!!!

THERE WAS NO DECEPTION!

AND EVEN MORE, THE TRUTH REVEALED DECEPTION ON THE PART OF THE DEMS!!!!

You’ll never hear this on the NYT, WaPOst, MSNBC, CNN - OR EVEN FOX!!!!
