California senator Feinstein says Russian hacking altered outcome of the election
The Sacramento Bee ^ | January 15, 2017 | Sean Cockerham

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said Sunday that Russian hacking altered the outcome of the presidential election.

“That's what I believe. I've had all of the major classified briefings. I have been astonished at what has been a two-year effort at Russia to spear phish, to hack, to provide disinformation and propaganda wherever it really could,” said Feinstein, who until recently was the highest ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“It's pretty clear that the hacking was of both political parties but with the aim of hurting Hillary Clinton and then, if Hillary Clinton were to win, the aim clearly was to weaken her,” said Feinstein on NBC's “Meet the Press.”

Host Chuck Todd repeatedly asked Feinstein whether she believed that the Russian effort altered the outcome of the presidential election and Feinstein said she does.

She said that Clinton was also hurt by FBI Director James Comey's announcement 11 days before the election that the bureau found new emails pertinent to an investigation of Clinton that had been considered over for months. It subsequently turned out that the emails were irrelevant to the FBI's conclusions in the investigation....

Hillary thought she could phone in a campaign on the way to a coronation.

The media thought they could help her accomplish this.

They acted stupidly.

Trump had a concise plan to win the electoral vote. He did just that brilliantly.

If Hillary had done that she would have been hailed as a brilliant campaigner and a masterstroke by her campaign team.

Stay angry my friends.

Another retard from the bay area in the form of the old battle-ax Dianne Feinstein.

The voting machines were NOT connected to the Internet.
However, there WERE reports of voting machines manufactured by a Soros-company that were used in sixteen states and flipped votes from Trump to Clinton when a straight line Republican slate was chosen. Where is the old bat’s concern about THAT reality?

And the millions of illegal aliens that voted for Hitlery in The People’s Republic of California, and God knows how many others in the rest of the country? Crickets from DiFi.

Plus the moonbats doing fraud in early voting by registering in the names of deceased people, celebrities, etc. and casting multiple votes. How ‘bout that Feinstein?
Tons of fraudulent votes were found in one district in Nevada alone, but nobody cares about that.

The dems lost the election in spite of their best efforts to steal it from Donald Trump. Next time, dems, try running someone who is NOT under FBI investigation and is not an open borders Marxist and who is not about as likeable as a cornered rattlesnake.

Two can play that game.

The United States senators from California and Michigan are NOT legitimate.

Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters need to resign from their offices immediately.

The California US senators were elected with massive voting by illegals.

The Michigan US senators were elected through proven Detroit vote fraud.

Unless they resign, any legislation they vote on or have voted on is illegitimate.

Sorry - this is the way The Game is going to be played from here on in.

Further illegitimate US representatives and US senators will be identified in the future, on a case-by-case basis.

I’m the same age and I know back in the day they pretended to be serious news shows, but they have always been propaganda channels for the Ministry of Propaganda.
They just hid the agenda better.

Hey Ms. Fineswine, whoever ‘hacked’ the Communist Party USA (DNC) emails was just doing the MSM’s job for them.

They deserve some kind of award of honor.

And people are aghast at the fact that Trump refused to blame the Russians. Well, this is exactly the reason why — the dishonest Democrats would use this as a way to invalidate Trumps win.

Trump is brilliant for seeing through their lies and for what they truly are.

Adtually Feinstein is right. Russia did influence the election for Trump. They ensured that Clinton was the nominee by working with Schultz and CNN as well as The super delegates. As I understand it, Russia bribed the super delegates with free trips to NYC for Hillary’s coronation, all expenses paid as well as smoothies from Madonna.

Now let’s have the FBI investigate that. It is definitely more realistic.

She also believes that CO2, a harmless gas that is in fact vital to life on this planet, is the greatest threat known to mankind.

The Senator from the land of nuts and flakes does her state proud. She represents the loony left as well as anyone could.

Putin wanted Trump to win.

The total combined “Journalists” wanted Hellary to win.

Who thinks they are smarter than everyone?

And then, Who won?

Russia is a two-bit player on the world stage these days

Get over it, with your Harry Reid impersonation.
