Obama under pressure to prove Russian interference in election
The Hill ^ | 12/29/16 | Katie Bo Williams

Posted on 12/29/2016 7:29:35 AM PST by detective

The Obama administration is under intense pressure to release evidence confirming Russian interference in the presidential election before leaving office.

The administration up until now has provided little documentation to back up its official October assessment that the Russian government was attempting to “interfere” in the U.S. election.

  Nor has it corroborated subsequent leaks from anonymous officials contending that the CIA believes the campaign was an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to ensure Donald Trump’s victory.

  President Obama has ordered the intelligence community to produce a complete review of its findings before Trump takes office on Jan. 20. The White House has said it will make as much of the report public as it can.

The story about Russia influencing the election is an out and out lie.

If the Democrat Party can convert this fake story into a real story, then they can sabotage Trump and the improvements in relations with Russia that Trump can achieve.

Trump is not beholden to Putin as the Democrats, media and others claim. Obama failed miserably in his foreign policy and relationship with Russia. Trump can fix that.

Trump needs to act quickly and decisively on this as soon as he is sworn in.

Trump must investigate the media leaks and disinformation campaign by the Obama administration.

CIA director Brennen and his deputies must be made to testify under oath, not only as to what they know about Russia’s role in the WikiLeaks email dumps but also about who inside the agency is behind the leaks to the media designed to put a cloud over the Trump presidency before it begins.

Agents and operatives of the Obama CIA should be given lie detector tests and asked who is leaking to the media.

Before any congressional investigations begin, Trump should order CIA Director Pompeo identify, remove and prosecute, for criminal misconduct, any CIA agents or operatives leaking secrets to the media.

Obama is black and blameless, needing to prove nothing

There is more evidence that our own DHS and CIA had more involvement in system intrusions than any foreign entities.
Heck, it is known that DHS tried repeatedly tried to hack Georgia’s systems.

intelligence community to produce a complete review fabrication of its findings before Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

Remember these are the same people who manufactured the fake "Iraq has an illegal WMD" program in Dec 1998 to justify BJ Clinton bombing Iraq during his US Senate Impeachment.

This story is SO tiresome. There was no “hacking” of the “election.” That’s media BS to try to make something out of nothing. Stupid John Podesta fell for a phishing scam that got him to reveal his email password. Whether it came from the Russians or someone else, who cares? He was stupid enough to fall for it. That doesn’t mean the “election” was “hacked”.

They will never produce anything of the kind, because it is more useful to them to have it remain hanging out there, casting doubt in some (mostly the mediots)as to the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.

When this was brought up by the press during the election, Barky was laughing and saying:

“Rig the election???? How do you, you, you, you rig an election? I have never heard such a stupid thing, you can't, the election isn't and hasn't been rigged”....

NOW he is saying that Russia rigged the elections? How stupid do you have to be...those of us that are present at our precincts know that the elections are not rigged, and we can stop anything that looks weird with people trying to vote more than once...if you have machines, they are not connected to the Internet, they are calibrated to make sure they functional...and those that were flipping in some states when people voted for Trump and their votes went to Hillary, they were calibrated to do so or they wouldn't have done that...that is what you call voter fraud...and was proved to be so...

When your given a ‘mail in ballot’ it is put through a photo machine that sends the information to the ‘mother computer’ and registers the votes...you have no control over that...

If the ballots are filled out and put in a box, the name, the ballot number is marked on the books with the number next to the name...if more than one ballot by that person is found, that is called voter fraud...

So yes I personally want Barky to PROVE how Russia rigged this election!!!

Oh it really happened, but we can’t tell you how it was done because that is classified. So that is the only proof you need...Obama’s “facts.” If you can’t support your position with facts, then it is propaganda, the old name for fake news.

The Russians had nothing to do with Obama's losses over the years, certainly not the 2016 POTUS election!

Democrats suffered a net loss of 1,042 state and federal posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency during President Barack Obama's eight years in office, Fox News reports.

When barky “retaliates” against Russia, and Putin personally as they stated... I HOPE that Putin responds in kind... on a personal level, and leaves the American public unharmed.

Trump should invite Putin to his inauguration to really show that relationships between America and Russia are entering a new era. watch the liberal heads explode.

What was the point of contact, the interface, used by the Russians to interfere in the election? The Obama administration is bound to have arrested the internet connection.

Obama cannot admit that his eight years as president interfered greatly in the election.

Obama attacks Putin as he hides behind Michelle. The liberals cheer Obi leadership and courage. Then Putin releases OBi’s Kenya birth certificate and all the sealed Obi doc’s. Putin will hit back harder.

Of course it's a lie. As is Jill Stein's absurd claims that somehow votes were changed with floppy disks or something.

There is, however, evidence of fraud in Detroit and claims of large number of non-citizens voting. I doubt these votes went mainly to Trump.<>

This claim of Russian hacking is to divert from the content of the email, which should have led to outrage and presents a pathetic attempt to say that Hillary is the true winner. Look who are among those spreading this nonsense! Senators McCain and his echo L. Graham.
