COVINGTON, La. — “Sour grapes,” explained Bob Marino, 79, weighing in on the recent spycraft bombshell from the corner table of a local McDonald’s.
“Sour grapes,” agreed Roger Noel, 65, sitting next to him.
“Bunch of crybabies,” Reed Guidry, 64, offered from across the table.
The subject of conversation was the report released by United States intelligence chiefs on Friday informing President-elect Donald J. Trump of their unanimous conclusion that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered an extensive, but covert, cyberoperation to help Mr. Trump win the election. The Russians had hacked and leaked emails, unleashed “trolls” on social media and used their “state-run propaganda machine” to spread stories harmful to Hillary Clinton.
In Washington, the report was viewed as extraordinary, both for its timing, raising sharp questions about the president-elect’s legitimacy on the verge of his taking office, and for its assertions, describing the operation as Russia’s boldest effort yet to meddle with American elections, to spread discontent and to “undermine the U.S.-led democratic order.”

For these northeastern elites travelling to Louisiana and the south is like going to a foreign country to them.
The Russians™ were very clever to give Hillary the popular vote. /s
If only the Russians were still communist and the Democrats wouldn’t care about them meddling ... like in the old days.

That’s all one needs to know
Who besides John McAfee, Julian Assange, and Loretta Lynch disagree?
Even telling the truth about Democrats (in their own words no less) isn’t going to matter to wagons that automatically circle themselves.
It was Hillary who had the “reset button”.
NYT hacks writing about the attempted hacking of America by the hacks in the LSM, political hacks and the Intelligence Coummunity hack hacking hackers of the internal politics of the US. Anything to keep this “story” as the biggest ‘Rat 0bama floating in the Trump Inagural Punch Bowl.
But very UN-clever to have contestant Jill Stein demand a re-count in the states that Trump won.
I bet the entire article doesn’t mention a single revelation from the leaked emails.
Hey Kev,
Is English your Mother Tongue? I read your reply 4 times, and couldn’t get a line on what you were intending to say. Ever hear of Norm Crosby?
Ah, the angst of a watermelon babe who didn’t think she was gonna be the next Ross Perot.
They would feel right at home in North Korea.
I would ask:
When did this "hacking begin?The Wikileaks stuff has been coming out for years now. Was this part of the hacking? If not were other emails released by someone else?When was it discovered?
Who was "hacked"?

At this point what does it really matter
Starting January 20, 2017, 12:01 PM a lot of real bad actors in gov and spy stuff will (I hope) be kicked out of the positions they hold. A very fond dream is that they figure out who it was and charge whomever leaked secret info to NBC.
“What’s the big deal?” Asked Obama voters on Africans with Ebola being flown into the country.
Payback is a bitch commie!
