Texas Congresswoman suggests Russia responsible for Iowa caucus voting issues

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat, suggested during an FBI oversight hearing on Wednesday that Russia is responsible for the vote-reporting issues from Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses.

“I hope that the Iowa Democrats will ask for an FBI investigation on the app,” the Texas Democrat told FBI Director Christopher Wray. “I believe that Russia has been engaged in and interfering with a number of our elections dealing with the 2016 election.”

Wray responded by reassuring Jackson Lee that the FBI shares her concern about Russian interference.

“Certainly, we are also concerned about potential Russian interference with our elections,” Wray said. “That’s why I created the foreign influence task force, which is acutely focused on that topic among other nation-states that are attempting to influence our elections.”

Democrats have faced criticism for not properly testing the voting system in Iowa, which includes an app the Iowa Democratic Party spent $60,000 to implement.

“How can anyone trust you now?” a reporter yelled at the chairman of the state’s Democratic Party after reporting issues had still not been cleared up the day after voters caucused. An official winner has still not been announced as of Thursday evening.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez expressed his frustration on Thursday by calling for a recanvassing.

“Enough is enough. In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass.”

I heard the Russians landed on Mars and stole the American Flag Neil Armstrong left there.

Can someone get the “I’m not saying it was aliens” GIF and modify it appropriately?

[Captain Peter Blood]

First Trump is going to give Russia back to them and now somehow Russia ruined the Iowa Caucus. What next?

[digger48]

Skelator Perez demands Iowa does a re-canvas, conveniently failing to note that the DNC took over the thing 2 days ago

And SJL.....What a maroon

[Hieronymus]

Not only that, but when they blasted off to steal the flag, they capsized Guam.

I would pay the heftiest fine in FR history to say right now what I am thinking about her.

[BenLurkin]

[Sarah Barracuda]

Nah, cant take responsibility for their own incompetence, so instead, blame the Russians..when my sisters Husky Simba peed on the floor, he should have just blamed the Russians

[digger48]

I do believe Trump was throwing a subtle dig at SJL the other night when he said we would plant out flag on Mars

[Karl Spooner]

Wray probably will believer her.
