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....

This whole manufactured crap out of the Democrats about Russian hacking is absolutely a playbook tactic. There seems to be a massive concerted effort to push this junk out there for some stupid reason. There is no way to de-legitimize the fact that Donald Trump overwhelmingly won the election, and fair and square at that, while overcoming cheating by the Decocrats. This hissy fitting is exactly what made them lose in the first place, and they keep on trying. Now this junk with some Democract jackass named John Lewis...It’s so fun to watch, but SOOOOOO pathetic to watch these idiot Democrats dig themselves a deeper hole. Every day I look at my self in the mirror and think how glad I am to be a Conservative and far removed from the fantasy land that Liberals are trying to live in.

The Russians forces her not to DENY ONE WikiLeaks email?

Even if the Russians were the ones who hacked the servers and passed the info on to WikiLeaks, why are the Democrats so afraid of the truth?

I remember when Voice of America was broadcast into the Soviet Union which they constantly tried to jam and arrested their citizens who received it. VoA bragged that they broadcast the truth even if it wasn't fully complimentary to the US. How have we fallen if the Russians are the broadcasters of the truth and we rely on secrets, lies and propaganda.

I’m old enough to remember WHEN SENATORS WERE SANE PEOPLE except for the few traitors (Cranston, Ted Kennedy, Church) and dupes (Hatfield, Hart, Riegle, Mathias, Tydings Jr., McGovern), plus the well-meaning outer space inhabitants such as Eugene McCarthy.

Why limit foreign donations and fraud to 2008, 2012, and 2016?

It probably carried the 2004, 2000, 1996 and 1992 elections as well.
