Sputnik News : Shocker: 'Proof' of Russia's Trump Support Was Compiled During Obama's Election

A highly-anticipated declassified US intelligence report, aimed to prove that Russia supported Donald Trump, has turned out to be a huge embarrassment. The annex that contained factual material that was thought to provide evidence of RT influencing the American public was compiled in December 2012, right after the reelection of Barack Obama.The report focuses on television shows and interviews that took place four years before Trump was elected, and well before he was even a politician.

In Annex A of the report, intelligence agencies claim that “Kremlin's TV Seeks To Influence Politics, Fuel Discontent in US.” Buried at the bottom of that page is a note stating, “This annex was originally published on 11 December 2012 by the Open Source Center, now the Open Source Enterprise.”

The report notes that two RT shows, Breaking the Set and Truthseeker, focused on criticism of US. The problem is, both of these shows were off air before the 2016 election season began

In a bizarre turn of events, US intelligence now presents this report, compiled just after the reelection of Barack Obama, as ‘proof’ of Russia pushing Donald Trump’s candidacy. However, if the report is true and RT the Almighty was swinging votes in 2012, the only beneficiary of the coverage was the now-outgoing president of the United States, who won a landslide victory over Republican Mitt Romney. Four years ago Trump was not thought of as a politician and it remains a mystery how RT’s 2012 coverage could propel him. A mystery, that even a classified version of the report would have a hard time explaining.

The media's incestuous relationship w/ the Clintons.......more proof.

Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off--record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

The guest list for an earlier event at the home of John Podesta was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. --snip--

===========================================

Media/Clintons figured they were setting up the Republican candidate for the kill.

Too bad they missed their target....ROTFLOL.

After she lost, Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, was horse-whipped into action.
Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed
sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by by ColdOne

PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.

As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...

WikiLeaks: Tax Form Reveals Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, Continued Ties to Russian Energy Company After Claiming He Divested

PODESTA'S LUCRATIVE RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS---
A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC. Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.

The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.

The Center for American Progress (CAP) was started in 2003 by John Podesta, Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff; Podesta led Obama’s presidential transition team after 2008 and was Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager. Podesta’s relationship with the Clintons goes back to 1970.

=================================================

Hillary and Podesta and the rest are idiots. That's not the Russians fault. The fools
needed something to make Hillary look like a victim. The Russians are a handy bete noir.

And besides, saving his wealth, his govt perks, privileges and multiple govt paychecks was a powerful motivator for Podesta.

Americans DEMAND Podesta be placed under intense scrutiny.
L/E needs to (a) uncover Podesta's hidden agenda, and, (b) determine exactly who is directing Podesta's activities.

Podesta has been close to power for years, effortlessly getting numerous top level, high-powered govt jobs, and he even controls the media.

Podesta got rich trading on insider info, and is paid off for his powerful connections. Podesta received valuable stocks in a Russian- connected energy company.The Saudi Royal Court paid Podesta's PR Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”. (verified to date).

People paying large sums of money expected payback if Hillary got elected. Powerful money interests could be directing Podesta to overturn the election to insure they get payback.
