Russian Hacking is “Fake News”

Once again, the media and the Democrats are trying to intimidate the American people into allowing the disqualification of Trump for President.  They are insisting that Russia swayed our election, working for the Trump presidency. To fulfill the progressives agenda of delegitimizing the Trump presidency, all of the mainstream media and most of the progressives in Congress, including McCain and Graham, have  spent the weekend pursing a narrative that is inconsistent at best, and a total lie at worst. It is a murky story from “senior Administration” officials who are not named and won’t go on the record, but the American people are being told to accept the non-details that can’t be verified and do not rely on evidence.

The narrative that is being promulgated by the mainstream media and progressives is full of holes. The main narrative as being told by the New York Times and the Washington Post, both progressives sycophants has been that the RNC was hacked by the Russians as well. No evidence, but a narrative that will be foisted on the American people from now until the inauguration. To make the narrative appear more compelling is the New York Times claiming that 17 intelligence agencies have agreed that the Russians were compelled to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump.

Many on the progressive side have even claimed that Trump is a Russian agent. Those that are screaming the loudest about the Russian connection are in fact, not intelligence agents but people such as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Podesta, Michael Moore, John Podesta, and Soros affiliated groups such as Media Maters and Think Progress. Not on the list are any real sources from the intelligence agencies. Those in the intelligence field have not come forward or even identified who it is in these intelligence agencies that have made this claim. It is the political operatives of the progressives, pundits who are working for those same progressives, and the progressive media that continue to attempt to find a way to invalidate the Trump election.

Both the Times and the Washington Post have no idea what the Russians thought about our elections, with even the Washington Post, the same newspaper making these claims now, admitted that they could not come to a conclusion about the scope nor the reason for Russian hacking. This is the same newspaper that hired over 20 reporters for no purpose other than to discredit the Trump campaign. Throughout the campaign the Washington Post, working with John Podesta, a Soros flunky, printed allegations without source or any facts that a fact checker could easily refute.

If the story was true, and this administration had actionable intelligence that proved this fallacy, why has no one been arrested?  Why are these intelligence agencies allowed to remained faceless and nameless?  It may be as simple as the intelligence agencies have allowed the narrative to be crafted by Podesta, the Soros-Hillary crime syndicate, and this administration. Once again, if this is fact based, let the American  people see the facts, and show the evidence that these intelligence agencies supposedly have.” Trust me” will not work this time the fiction and lies being perpetrated is of a part of the “fake news” that the mainstream media has been loudly proclaiming to the masses. Or was the fake news meme just a precursor for this story, as fake as it is.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus challenged NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” to name a source, any source that could show evidence that the RNC was hacked as stated in the New York Times and other progressive websites. It was later pointed out that the Washington Post had changed the story, again through “unnamed sources” and reported to be inconclusive. RNC spokesman Sean Spicer made quite clear to Michael Smerconish  of CNN, that after working with intelligence agencies, that the conclusion that no one at the RNC was hacked. This proof was offered to the New York Times but, as usual, the Times ignored any facts that did not fit the narrative.

Another thing. NO ON THE RECORD sources are backing this claim. It all “nameless sources” and rumors. The on the record sources from Loretta Lynch to Julian Assange are saying this is nonsense.
