Kremlin Refutes Claims About Alleged Russian Intervention In US Presidential Election
TASS ^ | 12/12/2016 | TASS

Posted on 12/12/2016 4:46:47 AM PST by goldstategop

There has been no proof any secret services may somehow influenced the outcome of the presidential campaign in the United States, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said about media reports some Russian hackers, allegedly supervised by Russian secret services, had repeatedly obtained unauthorized access to US servers with the aim to secure Donald Trump’s win.

"Enviable regularity various Russian mass media have been publishing such allegations. With enviable regularity many high-ranking US and British Officials have been making such statements and likewise with enviable regularity none of the absolutely groundless claims has been propped up by any information, let alone proof," Peskov said.

He pointed out that such media claims looked like "absolutely groundless, unprofessional and incompetent charges that have nothing to do with the reality.". Share

Why would the Russians care who was elected our President?

Its not like they would know in advance who would win.

And they certainly would not want to make an enemy out of Hillary, who by all accounts, had been set to win the election last month.

Countries don’t undertake moves of a far-reaching nature without some assurance their interests will be advanced.

Russians don’t strike me as the kind to be reckless and impulsive. Whatever one thinks of Putin, the ex-KGB spy isn’t that person.

Today those Western news outlets are propaganda machines comparable to the Russian propaganda machines of those long ago days...

I'd posted that same statement on another thread. Fake News "reporting" Propaganda.

I tell ya, Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels would be proud right now. They had to threaten and cajole the German Media to print their propaganda (and took it over to do just that!) while our "media" gladly suckles at the crotch of the Obama Administration and swallows the propaganda spewed daily gladly.

Yes, that's a graphic depiction -- which I believe to be a wholly accurate representation of our so-called news outlets.

Jill Stein spent a lot of money she fundraises to help refute this allegation of Russia influence. Also I think we are a bit too early on this as Congress hasn’t even counted the Electoral Votes.

The Last Days of the Obama administration is making sure that Russia is reduced, economically, politically or by reputation. Obama wanted a war with Russia, and Hillary certainly did and failed to get elected. (IMHO) if Obama could launch a Nuclear attack against Russia before he leaves and get away with it he would. Obama is 3 times the Globalist Bush was with all the stops removed. We have more active duty troops in more nations than Bush had and most are in combat situations. Flagged coffins are still coming home and the “Fascist Press” still will not report on this. The real fake news are the media giants that are controlled by the very corporations that are in conspiracy with the Democrats. Fascism, through the Democrats and the Corps, already control the US

I also believe the real reason for the recounts was to find out why the hacking by the Hillary camp didn’t work.

John Brennan has made no claim that the Russians hacked our elections.

“Nobody with a half a brain in his head believes this democrat controlled CIA Bullshiit. The fact that senile McCaine and “Nancy boy” Graham jumped on this bandwagon it giving the story some very wobbly legs.”

I resent John Mc Cain for parroting the Democrat talking points and giving attempting to give the Russian story undeserved legitimacy. All I can see in my head is are the pictures of Mc Cain on his overseas trip to the Middle East when he was meeting with confirmed Al Quada terrorists. My conclusion is that this man has A LOT TO HIDE and is desperate.

The Fake news, Globalists and Obama want a war with Russia. A war now could stop Trump from being sworn in. These people will stop at nothing to stop Trump, even starting a nuclear war

What’s starting to piss me off is drudge. There’s been some good articles refuting this BS but he hasn’t posted any of them. He’s got 4 big bold MSM sources up there now (yahoo, cnn, politico, cbsnews) and a couple more leftish sources (politico, thehill) quoting Bolton on the possibility of false flag.

This crap only enforces why the media are hated, and why the Dems have become cry babies .

This article cite an unknown source, with no evidence. It is written in the NY Times and the Washington compost.

It then runs in all the media outlets as if this were true, but why?

because the Dem party are trying to deflect attention away from their massive loss, and how much the party is in disarray.
Another reason is to have Trump look like he never won fairly, and cause discredit to the voters, the country, and the world.

This is what the Dem party, and their propaganda groups in the media can’, or won’t understand. It is over, the media has no respect anymore, and Trump will be President where he will have access to the CIA, FBI etc

There were blatant attempts to swing the election to one candidate over the other, and those attempts were made by ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and even FOX. Add to that the WP, NYT, LAT, etc., etc.

These outfits failed to deliver the election to Clinton on a silver platter like they thought they could, so now they are trying to blame their failure on someone or something else. First it was #fakenews and now it’s the Russians. I’m sure the Russians had a preference, just like the US has a preference in other elections around the world. But, the biggest and most obvious attempt to jigger the election was internal not external.

All the uproar about #fakenews coming from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, and others is laughable. They are the primary spreaders of fakenews.

To be accurate, the Washington Post, a house organ of the Democrat Party, (both victim of the hacking, and election loser) reported that sources with the CIA believe that Russia was involved.

TASS, a house organ of the Russian Government, has denied that claim. Additionally, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, has repeatedly denied Russian involvement with his efforts to publicize (very embarrassing) internal Democrat emails.

On "Mornings With Maria" on Fox Business this morning, their panel discussed this. They noted that this is not a unanimous opinion within the intelligence community. Notably, the FBI is among the agencies that are skeptical of this analysis.

Bottom line, nations constantly interfere with each others internal affairs overtly and covertly to support their interests (Which is why I disagree with your notion that this is an "extraordinary claim"). However, the results of foreign interference are almost always uneven and unpredictable. Unless the two nations are greatly unequal in relative power, (Russia in the Caucuses, China in SE Asia, US in Central America) the results are not anywhere near decisive. Too many other factors are in play for Russian (or the converse) interference to have a decisive effect.

“Is believe the Russians before I would believe the demon rats”

Me too. That speaks volumes of how far our country has declined.

I am terrified the demon rats are going to turn this election upside down.

Hillary just can’t believe with all that voter fraud she had set up that she lost...how could that happen...did people lie to her about it, did people just not set it up, what happened...she knows...it was the Russians...

Yep, they came over here and put ‘thumb drives’ in some of the voting machines, some inserted a ‘disc’ into the voting machines, some loaded buses after buses (and remember we seen those) with illegal immigrants to vote, John McCain told her she had nothing to worry about, he was in control of it...

Well, if they think they are going to have another ‘election’ because John McCain says the Russians did it, then think very hard what your doing...if you think Jill the Shrill got a little over 1% of the vote, Hillary wouldn’t get that much this time...she would beg Jill the Shrill for the 1%...and pay Bernie more money for his percentage...

When you have irregularity, then the opposite is enviable.

This is from the same people who lied to us and to the world about Benghazi in order to win an election. It’s obvious.

Aren’t DHS and the CIA both headed by muslims who would definitely not want a President Trump? So spreading lies would certainly benefit them and their goal to keep a muzzie friendly person in WH.

Exactly and considering the Clinton regime. would have kept our country in the same weak military and economic condition, or worse, that she and 0 created.

There is absolutely no sane reason Putin would want to interfere with that.
