“Sen. Rand Paul on Election Interference: ‘We All Do It’”
Of course, we’ve been meddling in other nations elections for decades, and if we didn’t we would be remiss.
If Clinton had won, we wouldn't even be talking about Russia. In fact, I can almost guarantee that hag would be sitting in Russia right now kissing Putin's butt and taking him another reset button.
This from the same bunch of Leftists that wanted the U. S. and Russia to engage in WWIII.
I guess we got of easy...
EXACTY!!!!
ANY NATION THAT FEELS IT HAS THE MEANS will attempt to influence the affairs of another nation to their benefit.
I have ZERO doubt of Russians attempts to interfere, just as I have ZERO doubt they have done so in EVERY election of my lifetime and long before....
Just like WE have done.
Hell OBAMA went over to UK on the eve of the BREXIT vote and publicly stated that if UK voted to exit the EU they would be put in the back of the line!!!! That’s about as flagrant and public attempt to influence an election as you can get... a bald face threat that the US will screw you over if you don’t vote the way the US wants you too...
Did anyone bat an eyelid?
The problem si the press and the dems are trying to paint this interference, as collusion, and that’s just a flat out bald faced lie!!!
Yes, everyone knows all this.
Take the next step: what are the anti-Helsinki fake pearl-clutchers so desperate to distract about?
[ What makes you think we have done it “more” that the Russians have? Russia as the USSR kept entire nations under the thumb of the communist party, controlling their elections for years.
There’s no data on who does it “more.” Suffice it to say if there’s opportunity everyone will do it, if it’s in their interest. ]
Russia in this context is the Russians from 2000 - NOW ie. Putin’s regime. I am sure we did more interference, but only for the fact that Russia is economically poor and could only afford to interfered in places directly affecting it like Ukraine, Crimea, etc... Where the USA interfered in countries not even bordering itself. Maybe I should have said we interfered needlessly in elections that were not even vital for direct national security for advancing socialism like how Obama did.
The USSR certainly worked against elections in many countries from 1917 - 1991
But the whole point was to show how even the vaunted Obama interfered in MANY other country’s elections.
[ My mind is made up... don’t you dare confuse me with facts! ]
Pretty much every argument I have gotten to with my family members that suckle off the teat of the MSM ends this way....
I have #WalkAway from them.... I cannot convince them to even look for themselves for the truth...
I am convincing them to move to Germany and Sweden, I say that our own grandfather left Europe, he was smart and you should move back to Europe to escape “evil trump”.
The only they will learn is to be personally screwed over by their own ideals and Europe has a terminal case of this.
They are going to interfere in our elections.
We also do the same.
(Doug Levin at Carnegie Mellon studied this over about a 50-year period in the last century and found 81 times that the U.S. interfered in other country's elections.:
So we all do it. What we need to do is make sure our electoral process is protected. And I think because this has gotten partisan and it's all about partisan politics, we've forgotten that really the most important thing is the integrity of our election.
Putin and Trump made a deal - Russia gives us 'the twelve' and WE GIVE THEM JOHN Brennan and Clapper...
Wasn’t Debbie Washbord Schultz’s knocking Bernie out the primary, “interfering with an election”?
Its the “world with its pants down” as Reagan put it about the political process.
I’m curious to know if there are actually any people who were pro-Hillary as of August 2016 who then voted for Donald Trump. Those would be the only people who could be susceptible to Russian brainwashing.
Any Freepers here who were pro-Hillary in August 2016? Not me. No way.
They do spy on us.
They are going to interfere in our elections.
We also do the same.

Putin Drops a Bomb at Helsinki Presser https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3671305/posts
"..Putin declared that his government would be willing to allow Mueller investigators access to the 12 Russians in exchange for American cooperation in bringing to justice Clinton associates, including Mueller cohorts involved in illegal business transactions that allegedly took place in Russia, involving, according to Putin's statement, over $400 million dollars that was taken out of the Russia illegally..."
Wonder how this will play out...
For the record: "Lock Her Up"
We haven't forgotten it.
Please note my tagline.
The Kenyanesian Usurper, Brennan, Clapper, the Clintons and Joan Kerry interfered in elections all over the world, including, but not limited to, those you mentioned.
They are Leftist Socialist's...and will never stop.

Well, the bimbos at MSNBS are NOT pushing for the swap... I wonder why? /s (Either are our ‘intelligence’ people...)
“...bimbos at MSNBS are NOT pushing for the swap...”
Wish Trump would hold a presser and force that issue. Use the Bully pulpit and beat that horse every day for the whole week.
of Course He is right, We tried to keep BI BI our in Israel!! We interfered in russia’s last election. After the election in Ukraine, we financially supported the military coup of the elected government there, That is well known and publicized. Russians posting things on social media is a part of free speech. Hacking is illegal if it involved embedding Malware on a hard drive, Where is the DNC server ? This was asked quite properly by our president at the news conference. We know this. The amount of data taken off the DNC server exceeded by 10 times the amount that could possibly transmitted over the internet, It had to be transferred to another thumb drive or out board hard drive. All experts agree with that. Then let’s remember what was on that hard drive, Proof that caused the Firing on the DNC chair woman , Wasserman Shultz, that they were screwing Bernie out of the nomination. The people had an absolute “right to know” that. What we see Mueller doing is trying desperately to create an illusion that if the Russians hacked this information that was released by Wikileaks hero , julianne assange, that the election was illegitimate and our 63 million votes should not have counted. that ploy has failed. it will not work and it is bogus.
