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

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

The closest “proof” they have is that practically all malware comes from Russia, from idle hands in decrepit apartment buildings, like basement dwelling millennial losers over here. In fact, that’s where most of the viruses that said U.S. basement dwellers use comes from.

So the “proof” that the Dem/CIA can pull out is probably something resulting from a phish click from Grandma Clinton, telling her she needed to change her Paypal account or telling her she needed to update Windows immediately. Or fake kiddie porn links that tricked Podesta into clicking and installing malware.

It doesn’t help to have an e-mail server in your house with lots of info you want hidden, but being inadequately secured by incompetent IT slackers whose biggest computer accomplishment is a Twitter insult and using Google Translate to transform a Staples Easy button into a Russian reset button.

i remember those days. i’m 55.

We laughed at Pravda and how ridiculous state-run media was. The big difference between Pravda and our MSM is that the Russian people knew they were being conned.

But John McCain said “it’s clear the Russians interfered”. He must know something everyone else doesn’t. Or he’s full of ____.

Wallace yesterday asked Trump does he think the CIA are making this up in so many words.
Well Wallace has no proof the CIA did say this, or they have is an unnamed source written by the two liberal rags which hates Trump

The Russia reset went sour when Putin clamped down on the homosexual lobby there, and made laws banning tem from distributing their queer agenda.

Look at the timing. We got involved with their soccer world cup venue, we went after them and pushed to ban athletes from the Olympics, we said we would not send our athletes to Sochi.

McCain etc did not come out this strong with the reset. Where were these people about Iran?

I;d love to talk to the voters of SC, AZ who voted for these two buffoons.

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.

He's had a lot to hide ever since he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar in the Keating Five scandal. But more important to the old fool is his abject desperation to be seen on the Sunday talk shows. He'd be on his deathbed negotiating his soul for one more 10-minute segment on NBC.

There is no “CIA Official” its a story run in the NYT and WP. If the CIA had actual evidence it would have made an official announcement and the FBI would already be engaged. Just by the fact that James Comey gives a press conference and says “We’ve asked to see this evidence and no one has responded” means there isn’t any. Fake news like this could start a world war. But then again, that’s what the CIA has been good at, starting wars, interfering with elections and assassinating people

Exactly. If the media wanted to back their so called facts up, they would interview with named sources Brennan etc. The very fact they do nto do this, nor did they do this when the Dems were saying 17 agencies state there has been hacking tells us all how much B/S this whole story is.

It is white racist’s Russians, hacking, fake news etc. The left have been going around in circles trying to make something stick.

The very fact it is the Dem party in chaos, they lost an election,l obama has lost them the Senate, the House, and now the White House would give them pause, but no they vote Pelosi in, and make stupid lies up about why they lost in order to have their supporters not look within at the Dem party.

"No one has seen it. In its absence, its simply anti-Russian paranoia. The notion Russia knew how many votes to change in certain states on behalf of Trump and changed those votes is simply too absurd to entertain."

That isn't what they are claiming, but that's what they want you to think happened. When they say that the Russians "hacked the election," all they are referring to are the DNC email hacks, not to any hacks of the election infrastructure itself, for which there is no evidence at all.

But, by using certain phrases, they hope that people will think what you thought, i.e., that the Russians actually tampered with the vote count and that the election was therefore illegitimate.

"The CIA made no such claim that I have seen."

I believe you are correct. They are using the claim that the Russians hacked the DNC emails is a basis for mcking the ambiguous - and far more serious charge - that the Russians "hacked the election," which people incorrectly interpret to mean that the Russians hacked the election infrastructure and manipulated the vote tally.

And this is deliberate - this false idea, spread by imprecise language - is exactly what they want people to think, to engender outrage and to support the notion that the election was illegitimate and that Trump is basically a Manchurian Candidate, a foreign plant.

“The CIA made an extraordinary claim. An extraordinary claim require extraordinary proof.”

Is it time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA?

President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.

At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.

September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.

The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State Department.

Agree. Mc’s years as a POW have obviously caught up to him in his old age.
