News stories about purported Russian hacking in the presidential election continue to omit a very important fact. The Russian government has arrested four of the hackers, including Col.Sergei Mikhailov, and charged them with working for the CIA.
Thus if Russians did any election hacking it was with the knowledge and consent of the CIA and President Barack Obama. The knowledge received would have allowed the Obama administration to prevent any action that could have affected the outcome of the election. If the president knew terrorists threatened to attack, he would assign federal agents to protect those who might be attacked. Wouldn't a president who thought foreign government hackers threatened an organization assign government computer experts to protect against the attack?
If the hackers tried to help Donald Trump win, it was because someone in the Obama administration wanted Trump to win. It seems unlikely the CIA would have tried to help Trump win without Obama's approval. Incidentally with an FSB colonel on the CIA's payroll it would have been easy to have Russians meet with Trump's associates where the meetings would be noticed. [The FSB is the successor to the KGB.]
Why would Barack Obama want Donald Trump to win the election? Perhaps Obama thought if Trump won, it might be possible to convince Congress to change the Constitution to allow Obama to seek a third term in 2020, particularly if Congress thought Trump was involved with the Russians. That strategy wouldn't have been possible if Hillary Clinton had won.
I doubt the claim that Russian hackers did anything that affected the outcome of the election. even if they tried to do so. However, if they did then any federal investigation should ask what did the CIA and President Barack Obama know, when did they know it and what did they do with the knowledge? If CIA officials didn't tell Obama about the Russians, why didn't they?
There are ‘conspiracy theories’ and then there is moonbattery.
This is moonbattery....................
Bush unwittingly greased the skids for Obama and Obama unwittingly did the same for Trump.
I dont think Obama waned hilLIARy to win... She had the goods on him for the birth certificate that she flew to England to obtain.
Plus a bunch of other stuff. Plus she loves payback.
The only other person who most wanted her to lose was Bill. If she won, he was no longer needed- and a potential huge liability. He would be gone to Ft. Marcy Park already.
A janitors view? Try custodial engineer.
Oh here we go. Start the counter rumor to defuse the current idiocy.
Remember that muzzie Brennan was heading up the CIA.
Now why would Obama and/or the CIA make the least conscious effort to help Donald Trump become President? I fully understand that Bush-43 would have full knowledge that Obama was just about a shoo-in for President. Dubya would have preferred Herself, as that would sort of balanced some equation in his mind (Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton), but he personally saw nothing at all wrong with Obama. Indirectly, of course, but John McCain, the sort of chosen sacrificial lamb the Republicans put up in 2008, was chosen SPECIFICALLY to be the designated loser. And he played the part magnificently, but nearly screwed up when Sarah Palin was chosen for VP nominee. That made the race FAR closer than it should have been.
He can't run again. Two terms is the limit. And he's too busy golfing and seeing the world to want to get back into the White House.
There's no real evidence that the various hacks were Russian or that the Russians wanted Trump to win. If Obama didn't do more about the hacks, it was probably because he thought Hillary was going to win anyway and action on his part would backfire.
If President Obama said publicly that the Russians wanted Trump to win, he'd have to provide evidence, which he most likely didn't have, and putting out the idea that Trump could win may not have been in the Democrats best interest.

There’s evidence the contrary, the Fusion GPS dosser was written by Russian Intel to harm Trump.
Obama ‘s efforts were never intended to get Trump elected, but were nevertheless a big reason why Trump got elected.
Thankfully, Americans aren’t quite ready for a totalitarian dictator and seem to want their freedom for tyranny.
Actually I think Bat Sh-t crazy moonbattery enhanced by many chemicals in the body of one that was already nuts before the chemicals.
Or the Russians were helping Hillary with Obama’s cooperation.
um...huh?
Of course 0bama helped Trump win. That is what happens when you are an ultra $hitty president. People will not vote for another one of the same caliber
