Huckabee on Intel Report: No 'Scintilla of Evidence' That Russia Swayed Election

"Those mainstream news outlets "ignored the content of some these emails, which was explosive in its contempt for conservatives, Christians, people in the middle of the country, Catholics," Huckabee said. "There was some things that they never really covered.

"It's just one more way in which [Democrats] are trying to say, 'Gee it really wasn't us, when in fact, it really was."

The report, declassified after the president-elect was briefed about it on Friday, blamed Vladimir Putin and the Russian government for pre-election hacking to try to undermine Democrat Hillary Clinton and help Trump.

The findings concluded that Putin and his agencies "aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.

"All three agencies agree with this judgment," the document said. "CIA and FBI have a high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence."

President Barack Obama ordered the report, which was presented to him on Thursday.

Trump responded by publicly questioning the intelligence community's conclusions and characterized the report as a "political witch hunt."

Oh, for the love of Pete. I know we’re supposed to pretend that, because Huckabee supported Trump, he knows his left shoe from a hole in the head ... but do we have to pretend that the long-ago Governor of Arkansas is an expert in international intelligence analysis?

Hey Democrats, what piece of information hacked by the Russians do you think convinced me to vote for Trump?

I understand, but the whole point of my posting this was that ‘Hucky’ is not afraid to stand up to the haters. I thought it was a brave, patriotic move..

I have never questioned Gov. Huckabee’s patriotism, but I remember when he was Dead To Us for I don’t recall what, and I remember when he and his band performed at the FR Inaugural Ball (although I couldn’t go because I had a baby, I read the Live Thread).

He doesn’t know if Russia *tried* to sway the election through WikiLeaks. None of us knows. I don’t think it matters either way, but that’s just an opinion, not Gospel.

Only absolutely drooling IMBECILES believe that Russians hacked the election...

Sad that we have so many of them in this country...

No 'Scintilla of Evidence' That Russia Swayed Election

Not a scintilla of evidence that Russia hacked the DNC.

Not a scintilla of evidence that Russia hacked Podesta's gmail account.

Not a scintilla of evidence that the MSM cares a smidgeon about the truth.

“Oh, for the love of Pete.” ... He’s only stating the truth that we know already. Not many of us are “experts in international intelligence analysis”, but we know the Russians are not to blame for the election’s outcome. Thank heaven he’s not being cowed into quiet submission. I hope Trump pays attention him and hasn’t been bamboozled by the “intelligence” briefing he was given. It’s as easy to fabricate false intelligence docs as it is to phony up a birth certificate.

Thank you, Huck!

Oh, tomorrow or a week from Thursday he’ll be Dead To You again because of zot-knows-what, just like he was five years ago.

I don’t care who said it — Huckabee or Maxine Waters — what was said is true.

I am with you.

We need more patriotic non-experts to speak out loud and proud.

(Experts are severely overrated: Look at the fellow-traveling academics, and the climate-deranging scientists.)

In LiberalLand an assertion IS proof and no more evidence is needed. I say it is true and therefore it is true because I said it.

How is his analysis of the media irrelevant when he’s discussing the media treatment of the story? Your criticism is what’s irrelevant.
