Is Any Part Of The Russia Election Hacking Story True?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | September 30, 2017

Conspiracy Theories: Instead of building up to a troubling conclusion about the Trump campaign's conclusion with Russian to interfere in the 2016 election, the "facts" about this story keep turning out to be untrue. The latest is the claim that Russian tried to hack 21 state election systems.

For months, we've been told that Russian hackers had targeted anywhere from 21 to 39 state election systems.

Here's how Bloomberg reported the story in June: "Russia's cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump's election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported."

In June, Samuel Liles, the Department of Homeland Security's acting director of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis Cyber Division, told Congress that "the Russian government tried to hack election-related computer systems in 21 states."

Then, earlier this month, the election hacking story made headlines again when DHS officials notified state officials in 21 states about the attempts to breach their voter registration systems.

This sparked renewed outrage from Democrats about how the election results had been "hacked" by Russia.

But then the story started to fall apart, when Wisconsin and California said DHS was wrong about their systems being targeted.....

I think they are all in fantasy land. There is zero evidence of anything happening.

The damage is done. Citizens who read my area’s local paper, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, believe explicitly in the Russia election hack story.

The only systems we know for sure that were hacked were done by the Obama administration

Sure, some parts are true. Russia exists. There are hackers in Russia, who could be fairly called Russian hackers. After that, it starts to fall apartment

Russia story true??

Yes, it is true that Democrats are lying dirtbags. The fake story and the Mueller violations are to hide their crimes.

Democrats are a worthless, destructive entity.

I just saw Jason Chaffetz on Judge Jeannie who recently met with Jeff Sessions and was told there are no plans to prosecute Holder for Fast and Furious and who what other stuff..like the IRS.... So what’s to stop the corruption? Trump can do this all by himself!

If anything was true the evidence would have been leaked. Since nothing has been leaked is most likely it was just as “Shattered” authors wrote...It was a story devised by the Hillary campaign on the morning after the election to discredit the Trump election.

‘Is Any Part Of The Russia Election Hacking Story True?’

Of course. There is a country called Russia who has a leader named Putin.

Other than that there is no truth to any of this nonsense.

"It was a story devised by the Hillary campaign on the morning after the election to discredit the Trump election."

It is much more than that.

First off, rule 1 from the Clinton playbook is to accuse your opponent first of doing exactly what you have already done. The Clinton Clan was neck-deep in Russian influence peddling, and even treason depending on how you assess the Uranium scam. The Trump-Russia meme 24/7 by the media provides cover for the Clinton Clan crimes.

Second, the DNC is broke. They need money to fund "research" projects like the fake Trump dossier, and dirt-digging for things like the "pussy grab" tape. What better way to solve your financial crisis than to have the taxpayers fund your opposition "research" team of expensive lawyers with investigative carte-blanche?

And third, besides discrediting Trump's election, the "stolen election" BS keeps Hillary in the lime-light as the victim, who deserves to be President and shouldn't be denied her chance in 2020. She is running and demands the nomination.

That is what Slick Willy would call a "Three-fer."

No, however, it isn’t just a tool to demonize Trump.

It is also a tool to demonize Russians.

People need to look at why liberals need to do that.
