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.

Watta crock. Who are these dingbat Dems kidding?

Clearly ....the Hillary/DNC cabal setup this “Russian hacker” beforehand, as insurance if Hillary Lost.

THE CLUES ARE EVERYWHERE: Remember, the DNC’s finance hack showed them guilty of pay-to-play schemes that awarded influential donors.

The "Russian hacker” stupidity musta borne full fruit as Whatssername’s preference for Hillary emerged; she got forced out.

So Hillary/DNC found out if Russia was interfering in US elections, that could get crooked Hillary in.

SO HOW STUPID ARE THEY? DNC officials discovered their email system had been compromised. Yet, instead of taking cautionary steps to prevent future hacks, they sent out new passwords to the team - via email.

ROTFLOL.

Where's the outrage over Russia's hack of the US election?

Where's the outrage over CNN giving Donna Brazile the debate questions?

Where's the outrage over Hillary having classified information that is now in the hands of the Russians?

Where's the outrage of John Podesta attending Satanic cult rituals?

Where's the outrage that the DNC destroyed Sanders' campaign?

If the Russians indeed hacked the DNC, they did us all a favor. Why should we be outraged for exposing corruption in government?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
But as usual from these people, they don’t even have enough ordinary evidence to call for an inquest.
Just more media smoke and mirrors, and CIA disinformation.

If true, isn’t this a shoot the messenger kind of situation?

This is Fake News.

It is not true.

The idea that Russia attempted to influence American elections is a theory placed in Fake News by the 0bama Administration.

It has not been proved.

Until then, it is at most an allegation.

But most likely, it is straight up fake.

Boris and Natasha are at it again — stealing the election for Trump. The efforts of moose (Hitlery) and flying squirrel (Bill Clinton when he is on cocaine) were all for naught.

Open ended statements are not evidence, are they?

The CIA says the Russians hacked the election.

“If you repeat a lie often enough people will come to accept it as fact”

Or not. How many times will they need to repeat this before you believe it, especially after all the warnings against fake news (also known as propaganda)? And how many times has the recount turned up evidence of this?

The scary part is that they may generate some more fake news and cancel the election results. On the other hand, perhaps the goal all of this is to delegitimize Trump and try to start a revolution. That may be a more direct way to their real goals.

cancel the election results

What, exactly, do you mean by this?

Electors have been appointed, in the ordinary way. They will meet in their State capitals on December 19 and give their votes, which will then be sent to President of the Senate Biden, who will count them in the presence of 435 Members of Congress and 100 Senators on January 3.

What's to cancel?

Exactly how did the Russians keep Hillary from campaigning in swing states she needed to win? Stop blaming the Russians for Hillary’s conceit.

Maybe because Obama tried to hack the Israeli elections.
