GOP senator: Investigate Russia
CNN (Alt-Left website) ^ | November 16, 2016 | Nicole Gaouette

A leading Republican lawmaker is calling for investigations into alleged Russian cyberhacks during the US election despite President-elect Donald Trump's repeated calls for warmer ties with Moscow.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and one of the chamber's most experienced foreign policy hands, said the attempt by a foreign country to interfere with the US voting process needs better understanding and a vigorous response.

"Assuming for a moment that we do believe that the Russian government was controlling outside organizations that hacked into our election, they should be punished," Graham told reporters Tuesday. Referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Graham added that, "Putin should be punished."

Most likely the source of those DNC leaks was Seth Rich, who was gunned down in NW DC, still unsolved.

It appears with the same names voted among them as leaders they haven’t got the message yet?

Now that President-elect Trump is in the driver’s seat, Linda is trying hard to get some attention so he can shake the feeling that he’s become TOTALLY irrelevant.

Those f’ing endless war douchebags. They never stop. Gorge Washington and Eisenhower warned us about them. We need to defeat Graham and force McCain’s resignation by 2018. Trump must have access to the truth about McCain’s evil role in Egypt/Libya/Syria with ISIS. Threaten its release unless he retires. Stop playing nice with this vermin, like we did with Ted Kennedy, at great cost.

Reminds me that Lindsay Graham needs to be investigated. He has fraudulently pretended to be a Republican, has made statements indicating he has serious mental issues, etc. In any case, imho, he shouldn’t be in the U.S. Senate.

Assuming for a moment that we do believe that the Russian government was controlling outside organizations that hacked into our election

Those two sentences don't square with each other, how exactly does one hack into an election?

We know what happens when one assumes....

Is he upset we found out that the Clintons, the Obama regime, FBI, Justice, and all, literally all of the media were in cahoots with each other?

That they were all lying to cover for one another? Is that what upsets him? And, though we knew it already, it took some hacker sitting in his mom’s basement to out them all after they assured us their servers were completely secure?
