Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind a hacking operation that exposed the Democratic National Committee and other targets during the U.S. presidential election, according to sources speaking with NBC News. The two U.S. officials told NBC that Putin had a "vendetta" against Hillary Clinton and had a goal of exposing corruption in U.S. politics. They have "high confidence" in the intelligence they received.
Putin's objectives were multifaceted, a high-level intelligence source told NBC News. What began as a "vendetta" against Hillary Clinton morphed into an effort to show corruption in American politics and to "split off key American allies by creating the image that [other countries] couldn't depend on the U.S. to be a credible global leader anymore," the official said.
If true, Democrats and liberal pundits have more ammunition to try and prove that Russia helped swing the election for Donald Trump.
President Obama got the ball rolling when he demanded a full review of the hack last Friday. Yet, the agencies looking into the matter are not on the same page. Multiple congressional committees are also planning on launching investigations into the hacking claims.
FAKE NEWS
ATRIBUTION ?
Fake news?
Give Putin a medal, if that’s true.
Did the MSM never learn Rule #1 - Stop Digging?
These will be shown to be lies.
Prove it.
“high confidence” lmao
This is the last hope of the establishment — to
latch onto anything to give the electors an excuse
not to vote for Trump.
I hope the truth about Hillary, the Clinton Foundation,
pizzagate, etc., comes out before then — in time to inform the public (because the msm won’t do it).
Be a great name for a Race horse
Next we’ll hear: “Highly placed, reliable sources further state that Mr. Putin initiated this activity at the request of Donald Trump, and that the go-between delivering the request was Rex Tillerson.”
For next week, of course.
This stuff is just not credible. Name the sources or provide the evidence, at least one or the other if not both. But just - “some guy who’s really smart told us this”, is not cutting it with me.
What exactly was it that swayed voters? What exactly was exposed? Was it that the Clintons are as dishonest as everyone knows they are? Was it that the press conspired to carry her across the finish line? Is that the big secret that supposedly turned the voters against her?
What vendetta, she gave him control of 20% of our uranium.
From a cursory search, it looks like Cortney was/is #NeverTrump like most of townhall.
i dont want foreign governments messing with us, BUT let’s get real about this
1. there has been ZERO proof of this offered to us yet, Zero
2. IF Putin did some hacking..... let’s at least put this into perspective... the D’s (with their fellow travelers McCain and Lindsay) have been trying to provoke a war with Russia...including threatening military adventures....and shipping or positioning dangerous weapons near Russian borders or bases or allies
and our D’s also overthrew, or tried to overthrow, a number of other governments including Libya, Syria, Egypt, Somalia, Israel, Iraq, and several in Africa (always on the side of the IslamoNazis or their interests)
seems to me there’s a mighty big mote in the D machine’s eye.............before they try to criticize anyone else’s possible, unsubstantiated sliver
dear D/islamoNazi party machine bosses and financiers: PUT UP OR SHUT UP
Going to need another reset button with Russia after all of the Hate from the Leftards...
Why do you think the Cyber Experts wouldn’t send anyone to testify today.
Nobody has any proof other than it hurt Hellary.
I heard that Putin was spotted at a Kinkos outside of Waco, Texas...
