Their demands came amid ongoing discussions among U.S. officials on an imminent response that would ensure the U.S. takes action against Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. "We have to sanction Russia for these cyberattacks (and) send a clear message to the incoming administration that there is a lot of bipartisan support in Congress for going after this," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., told The Associated Press by phone from Latvia.

So we’re going to sanction Russia because John Podesta was stupid enough to reveal his email password in a phishing scam?

These idiots and their dying Mainstream Media lapdogs are just embarrassing themselves with the constant parroting of the “Russian interference™” Big Lie.

The DNC emails were not “hacked”, they were leaked by insiders. McLame and Lindsey are a disgrace.

You don’t impose sanctions on a nation based on a lie created by Fake News Media to cover up mass corruption and incompetence in their poltical party

Let’s see...

First accusation.
Then more accusation.
Then punishment.

Actual clear and convincing EVIDENCE is not in the Leftist equation of the Leftist version of “justice.” God help us and keep us from Leftist “justice.”

But what hacks? Against whom? By whom? Who were the individuals involved. When? What was the purpose? How much did it affect the election? I’d like to see this blow up in their faces like a splodey cigar.

McCain / Graham locking the cabin door and flying the #fakenews collusion for policy decision play into the ground - LOVE IT.

We can see you. The echo chamber is a one way mirror now with the outside world watching your every move.

All your going to get out of this is a smokin’ hole boys ...a smokin’ hole.
