The Washington Post has unflaggingly stirred up hysteria over so-called "fake news," so it's extra-ironic that the media giant is one of the country's foremost purveyors of the same. In the Post's world, a bunch of guys with Dorito-stained fingers who blog in their parents' basements have done everything from manipulating the election to provoking a nutcase into an attack on a D.C. pizzeria. Meanwhile, the Post's banner headline on Saturday was the innuendo-filled and poorly sourced announcement "CIA: Russia favored Trump," which sounds like fake news, too.
If it's true that the CIA concluded that Russia deliberately intervened in November's election to tilt it toward Donald Trump, that ought to worry Americans, but not because Trump is a Russian mole or Vladimir Putin's agents stuffed electronic ballot boxes. Rather, it is cause for concern that American intelligence analysts are either not very bright or politically corrupted enough to really believe such poppycock. Meanwhile, the Post and much of the mainstream media, in their mania to discredit Trump, will publish almost any sort of "news" nowadays, even if it's as fake as the nonsense that makes up much of the blogosphere.

That's why she lost.
That's a "like, Duh." Trump is rational. We know where he comes from and what he stands for and he negotiates. Hillary was just going continue stirring up international trouble, like maybe a Ukranian Spring or something. Belarus anyone? What we ought to be more concerned about is that the CIA apparently prefers Hillary, which suggests that the place is filled with apparatchiks concerned about their prerogatives rather than competent intelligence officers working for the U.S.
But Langley is inside the Beltway, so it must be corrupt.
Any sane nation that actually wants to stop terrorism, and who wants to deal with a sane adult, wanted/wants Trump over Hillary....
Major house cleaning is in order. It must start with the following three agencies: CIA, FBI, and Sate. These agencies are loaded to the gills with liberal democrat hacks. I would not believe anything they say and I think that is why Trump is not placing any weight on their security briefings, which are all political spin.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
Maybe I should be paying more attention, but this just seems like a complete joke, so I haven’t wasted my time. But I do have a question:
Exactly what is Russia supposed to have done? The CIA says they “intervened”. How? When? What did they do???
I see this as an unbelievably lame narrative — “Hillary lost the election because Russia.”
I bet 10-year-olds are pretty convinced, but me? No so much.
The obsession w/ unseating Trump is mind-boggling. The salient points are being ignored.
<><>Russia is attacking us? Since when is the DNC and Hillary’s campaign manager “us”?
<><> Some at the CIA and NSA highlight that the release of Democratic but not Republican “dirt” proves that Vladimir Putin’s factotums set out to boost Trump.
REALITY CHECK The hacking of the DNC exposed the slime and dirt of that organization and it’s control by the equallly slimy Clintons. DNC chair Debbie forced out...exposed as a tool of the Clintons...is proof positive.
The RNC presented no such threat b/c Trump is an outsider....the RNC threw in the towel late in the game b/c he won the primary.
CONCLUSION The voters decide US elections-—not hackers and leakers — that Debbie Wasserman Schultz and John Podesta had nasty things to say about Bernie Sanders did not decide the election ao much as it indicted the Democrat apparat.
That’s the thing they’re fuming about-—being outed.
The shamed Dems take on a Sisyphiam task to clear their name——its not going to work.
I went home with a waitress, the way I always do How was I to know, she was with the Russians, too?
State is a cesspool of liberalism; the type who collectively collude to make life hell for conservatives - signed Retired State. Too bad there is not a “preference for conservatives/republicans” ‘cause it is sorely needed at State.
Was that the CIA or the FBI?
CIA Director said it?
Or was it Valerie Plame’s replacement?
Or, maybe it never even happened and the Washington Post made it up.
The electors should consider that Hillary owes payback to a lot of dangerous people who are looking to undermine US ntl security. Hillary's creditors could endanger the safety and security of all Americans.
Every elector pledged to Hillary should seriously consider:
<><> (a) her crooked pay-for-play schemes, taking money from the Saudis, Russia, a Middle East king, etc.
<><> (b) Bill Clinton getting a 500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank and a commission on the Russians getting US uranium,
<><> (c) John Podesta, Hillary's campaign manager getting rich on Russian stock.
Electors should just cast their votes for Trump and distance themselves from crooked Hillary and the dangerous people she's beholden to. (hat tip exDemMom)
This is all to cover up Hillary’s unbelievable trouncing, the failure of Democrats to connect with human beings, and to make Americans forget that the FBI, DNC and Hillary had awful security breaches due to incompetence and chicanery.
Maybe it’s the government agencies working for Hillary Clinton that need investigation.
It seems the only thing that they can attempt to blame on Russia, without any evidence, is Wikileaks. They’re just pissed off that wikileaks peeled off voters from Hillary.
Well said!
Any sane and well-informed person would prefer Trump.
CIA = Clearly Intellectually Absent!
