Boy, the Russians have declined from the days of the USSR! Instead of rattling the nuclear saber, they, at most release some emails with which their opponents have already hung themselves. Even there, the actual source of the hacked emails denies Russian involvement, has the required skills to have done the hacking by themselves and has their own bones to pick.

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

Where was the outrage from the Washington Compost, Congress and the progressive Left when Obama and his surrogates overtly and actively inserted themselves into the Israeli elections where they tried to defeat Netanyahu as prime minister?

Chirp, chirp, chirp....

New Conspiracy Theory!

The reason the Dems have been accusing the Russians of hacking into voting machines in critical swing states is because:

A) The DNC are actually the ones who hacked into those voting machines, and,

B) The hacks didn't produce the expected results, implying somebody else must have interfered, to counter-hack the hack back, Jack, and,

C) The Dems suspect it was the Russians who hacked the DNC email server, so ...

CONCLUSION: Connecting the Dots: It would make logical sense that the Rooskies used their hack into the DNC's servers to not only retrieve secret emails, but to ALSO counter-hack the voting machines in the swing states that the DNC was hacking.

Just remember, you heard it here first. :-) :-)

Demmunists are crying that Vladimir Putin ****ed the Hildabeast out of the white house. If that were true (it isn´t), it would make about the fifth or sixth time that Russia had saved the west from some really awful disaster.

Picture a world in which Sweden was a major power..... Tsar Peter saved us from that:

Your ride, if Sweden were a major power...

Even the widely distrusted Mitch McConnell saw through this LIE and shot down any attempt to pin it on Trumpsters (even the Russian ones).

Good job, Mitch.

The real point is any hacking of a private computer with private info is insignificant compared to the hacking of Hillary’s Ad Hoc computer system containing classified information. Keep hammering at this and the Liar Media will move on.

The outrage is over hillary's private server and the lack of real security on that and other email servers containing sensitive or embarrassing information. The other outrage is the stuff that's revealed in the emails. It doesn't much matter who hacked it. If whoever didn't hadn't done so, someone else would have.

There is something to be outraged about. Leaks about how many CIA briefings DJT has and about how State Department employees expect their traditional role to go unchallenged are real inapproproiate for organizations involved with the nation's secrets. They're behaving like a shadow gov that can't be toppled. JMHO

Poor CNN. They have shot themselves in the foot. They’re like philandering spouses who have been found out and exposed, but steadfastly pretend to be faithful. The whole town knows they’re sluts.

So if. I am to believe this BS, the Russians stuffed the ballot boxes in a majority of US states with Trump votes thus “stealing” the election for Trump. However, the reality is that the actual emails from John Podesta, the DNC and Hillary were released by someone. The in the tank US media did not report any of this and instead ran fake news and Hillary campaign propaganda to bury whatever was in these emails. Only in Internet conservative media were the contents of these emails reported...again being denigrated by the in the tank media. Somehow this was enough to swing the election to Trump and had nothing to do with Hillary being distrusted, seen by many Americans as totally out of touch and years of Hillary and her ilk treating Americans in flyover country with utter disdain. Another liberal wet dream

EVEN IF Russia was responsible for the release of the wikileaks Hillary/Podesta/DNC emails, what should alarm America is that when today's Democrats are in control, Americans have to depend on Russia for what, Radio Free Europe, during the Soviet era, provided to those behinds the Iron Curtain... the truth a government controlled press withheld from them.

The CIA did not name ONE person who was responsible for the alleged hack.

Without any information at all, this so called story of Russian hacking is an EPIC FAIL.

There was no Russian hack, or we would now know the names of alleged Russian operatives who did it.

More likely it was a disgruntled Sanders supporter, a member of the Democrat liberal fascist hegemony.

The fact that Obama was raised to be a communist by an enemy of our country, who was under FBI surveillance as a direct threat to our country, never bothered these a-holes. They never reported it.

Russia has hacked many political sites in the US—as the US has hacked many political sites here and abroad.

That doesn’t mean that they were the source of the Podesta emails at Wikileaks.
