CIA veterans—none of them fans of Donald Trump–are urging caution about leaked allegations that Russia waged a secret campaign to put the New York Republican into the White House.

“I am not saying that I don't think Russia did this,” Nada Bakos, a top former CIA counterterrorism officer tells Newsweek, in a typical comment. “My main concern is that we will rush to judgment. The analysis needs to be cohesive and done the right way.”

Reports on the alleged Russian effort have been anything but cohesive, or complete.

It makes more sense to say they wanted to preemptively attack the candidate that our fake news assured them was destined to win.

Is there anything beyond “Russia helped get Trump elected” that actually shows Russian influence?

I’m sorry, the US government under Barack Obama has no credibility whatsoever. Not one department, not one person.

Neither does the GOP, or the Democrat Party, or the US media.

Nothing, nada, zip, zero.

They can all go hump themselves. Done with ‘em.

It’s all batcrap crazy desperation.

They might as well say ancient aliens interfered.

Makes as much sense.

It’s just the whole global cabal/NWO freaking out over losing its death-grip on the US.

Truly a battle between good and evil.

At this point, would you *really* be surprised to hear them blaming the Romulans or some such other nonsense?
