Now we know: Russia was apparently trying very hard to get Donald Trump elected, and the two parties reacted very differently to that fact. We already knew that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked, as had the emails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign. We also knew that intelligence officials and independent cybersecurity analysts believed that those hacks came from Russia.

But Friday, The Washington Post reported that the intelligence community had definitively concluded that Russia was behind these hacks, not merely to sow chaos and destabilization but to help Trump win.

The Truth was out there. Somebody had it, Wikileaks or the Russians or the Slobovians. We are supposed to disregard the Truth if the Wrong People present it. The Narrative is all important and the people who craft it so lovingly, and the Truth is thrown out there like pouring sand in the gears. What an awful criminal thing to happen.

Based on all the questionable donations to the Clinton Foundation, Hillary was much more arguably bought by the Saudis and others. Where is the outrage over that? Is this just a way to deflect from that fact?

Their interactions with disruptive “protesters” (AKA rioters) at the inauguration could be interesting.

Hey Leftists, to quote algor’s attorneys in Florida, when they got that judge to throw out all those military votes, “...a win’s a win!”.

I wonder if the WH also asked the CIA if the USA State Department was trying to someone elected in ISRAEL. It goes both ways. Power always tries to influence.

No outrage because it didn’t happen. Simple.

How did the Russians get the DNC and MSM to write such damning content in the emails?

For contrast, consider way back to 2008 when Sarah Palin’s email account was hacked. You know how many incriminating emails were found? None. It was all business.

No coordinating with the MSM on pre-approving stories for publication. No divulging the contents of debate questions ahead of time. No sabotaging of political opponents in the primary.

All this noise over the supposed Russian hack is a smoke screen for the larger crimes uncovered in the divulged content of the DNC emails. It laid bare the corruption within not only the DNC, but also the MSM.

Have I got this right ...?

The Left is FURIOUS that the Russians hacked into computers belonging to ... someone ... and released the information to ... someone ... to tilt the election Trump’s way, right? So, adding information to the media hurricane surrounding the election is supposed to be bad?

Hogwash! It is incumbent upon the voters to digest and process all the information presented to make their decisions. If some of that information is sensitive and closely held, so much the better. There are very few secrets that should not be released to the public.

If the Russians drove busloads of phony voters around to polling places on election day, then that would deserve our outrage. (Oh wait, the Dems did that.) Releasing information, however obtained, is hardly a bad thing.

Outrage!!!!!
It’s outrageous that the MSM is pushing this Bull$h!7.
I am outraged at the constant lies and fake.news.
Hillary and her b!7ch squad of Marxists and toadies in the media need a few hours lesson on truthfulness and what really is ‘fake news’ perhaps while inside a burlap sack.

Does he deny the leaked e-mails were real?

EXACTLY!

Where's the outrage about Russia rigging our election by releasing hacked emails showing how the DNC rigged their primaries!

Oh, but we're not supposed to notice this. We're instead supposed to be so pissed off at Russia that we write our GOP state electors and tell them to do the right thing and vote for Hillary Clinton, the very beneficiary of the DNC's rigged primaries in the first place!

Is that a Volvo??

Why does a car that sounds like a female body part (Mulva?, Delores?) have the universal male symbol as its emblem?........and I’ve answered my own question.

Unfortunately, due to the voluminous release of Wikileaks, along with the emails being hidden by the MSM, the emails had no impact on the election.

Other than that, Russian operatives surely had a hand in getting the thousands and thousands of people to attend the Trump rallies, and somehow had a hand in the massive voter turn out for Trump that overwhelmed the illegal/fraudulent voting activity of the democrats.

"Does he deny the leaked e-mails were real? Then what does it matter who leaked them? Snowden, Russia, Manning or some prince in Nigeria. If the e-mails are real, and I don’t hear anyone saying they are’nt, that is what undercut her campaign, not the leaker."

Bingo! Show some falsified data known to have originated in Russia. Even Pravda and Izvestia told the truth on occasion. These self-perceived geniuses in the media have shown themselves repeatedly to be biased idiots.
