Responding to intelligence officials report that Russia tried to influence the U.S. presidential election in favor of President-elect Donald Trump, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Arizona) on Sunday said he doesnt know what to make of Mr. Trumps dismissal of the issue.
I dont know what to make of it because its clear the Russians interfered, he told CBS Face the Nation. Whether they intended to interfere to the degree that they were trying to elect a certain candidate, I think thats a subject of investigation. But facts are stubborn things. They did hack into this campaign.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Mr. Trump said Sunday that new revelations about Russias influence on his behalf are ridiculous.
Its just another excuse. I dont believe it, Trump said. Every week its another excuse. We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College.
McCain called for a select committee to further investigate the extent of Russias influence and intentions.
I would like in an ideal world to have a select committee, he said, adding that he would hope such a committee would be made up of leaders on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Foreign Relations Committee and Armed Services Committee.

I recall that when the hacking was taking place during the campaign there was a strong suggestion that the source was probably domestic, that the codes, or whatever it is called, leaned in that direction.
Also, remember the one country we have solid proof has access to US agencies is China. They even brought Wall Street to their knees a few years ago. China has successfully ripped off the US using highly sophisticated systems. China did not want Trump to win, that for sure.
No proof has been presented to the country that clearly implicates that the Russians were behind the hacking anything, or that their hacking was predicated upon the purpose of having Donald J. Trump elected as President.
Furthermore, he can not come up with a logical reason as to why he would want Trump over Hillary in the Presidency.
Certainly Putin has more goods on Clinton that he could have, and still can, use as leverage against Clinton. I say could have because some of that leverage was used during the general election portion of the election cycle via the Wikileaks dumps.
This, like the recount being done in Wisconsin, as well as, the potential recount in Pennsylvania (still awaiting one final ruling from a Federal Court that will be announced tomorrow), is nothing but a big fat waste of taxpayer funds.
I’m waiting for the CIA to tell us Hillary’s secret intelligence emails were hacked,and John McCain’s reaction to No one being concerned that her top secret information emails were supposedly not hacked but everyone else’s on the Planet have been.
Hillary said hers were not hacked,now she says Russia hacked emails to help Trump,well which ones of her top secret ones were hacked Hillary so we can prosecute you?
Well, as a RINO, so does he. The RAT party.
Hey McCommie, how about sharing a few of them there facts with us.
We voted for his Dem opponent, but it did not help.
We had never voted for a Dem before this year.
McCain made us do it.
We don’t know what to make of McCain, or his voters either.
Didn’t Trump support McCain?
I bet Trump feels like an idiot for doing so.
Because Mexico influenced the AZ senate election in McCain's favor.
Juan McStain: It’s time to call it a day and walk off into the sunset with what little respect you have left.
I dont know what to make of it because its clear the Russians interfered,
++++
Do we have any actual proof of this statement that is not sourced from the NYT, home of All The Fake News That’s Unfit To Print, or simply speculation by various “authorities”?
Who did it? How did they do it? Who in the Russian government supported it? Who in the Russian government gave the hacked emails to Wilkileaks?
Just a fact or two.
Please.
The Green Party twit who wants to count exit polls as actual votes is ludicrous. Finding many ballots with an under-vote for President in this cycle should not be surprising - both lead candidates had low approval ratings. The two bottom feeders were simply ridiculous (a brainless green activist and a pot-head).
Trump would not tolerate another Crimea and is hard-line about Russia. Hillary helped Russia get 20% of our uranium reserves. Bernie is an avowed socialist. Of the three, Trump would be the LAST one Putin would support.
Hillary, Lil Debbie, and Donna Brazier were discovered by WikiLeaks to have committed virtual political sodomy on Bernie during the primaries. No one thinks Russia had anything to do with it except for Democrat operatives trying to cover their tracks.
Not as long as he is registered as one of us.
In that, she is actually the more honorable of the two.
He is more of a threat to Conservatism than she’ll ever be.
Some people look at his service and can’t imagine he is who he really is.
Senator John ISIS-R-US McCain.......
Does anyone know if McCain’s treasonous involvement with the recruitment, training, equipping & support of CIA selected Al awards/ISIS/Al Nusra mercenaries in Syria was the result of globalist stupidity? Or, does he work directly for ‘the company’?
Russia wanted the most capitalist most nationalist guy to come along in decades to be POTUS. A guy who can’t be bought by anyone.
Yeah, makes sense to me!
Maybe it’s in one of these posts, but could anyone tell me EXACTLY what evidence there is that the Russians “hacked the election”? I’ve heard the claims but to the best of my knowledge I don’t recall seeing ANY evidence.
Don’t forget the petition signed by less than 110 thousand people with a goal of 150 K signatures that they somehow think should over ride the vote of 62.8 million people by changing the electoral collage vote in favor of the loser.
I saw it again on FB today, with the pleading comment:
“Please, can’t anything be done to honor the popular vote?”
I SO wanted to respond; it would have tasted so good, but I find it is best just to let these snowflakes soak in their own denial.
Jan 20 cannot arrive soon enough.
Our real New Years celebrations will be on that wonderful day.
I seem to recall prior to Election Day Obama himself piously announcing that there was no way anyone, including the Russians, could hack the election and that our votes were secure.
Of course, that was before Hilliary! lost.
Make no mistake, if somehow this Hamilton Elector coup is successful, Juan will be the first to rush to the cameras to lecture us on how the system worked as it should.
McCain is both a closet Dem and nevertrumper.
Headline of the Day Poll
Why are Democrats saying Russia interferred with the presidential election?
They are concerned with the integrity of the system
They are trying to delegitimize Trump’s presidency
He doesnt seem very curious about political campaigns getting money from foreign donors.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>McCain is such and elitist, he has no connection with the people who vote for him.
McCain in his own mind,dwells in the realm of the gods. We thought he was going to loose his last senate bid.This is his last hurrah!
He would not know liberty if he fell over it and got it stuck up his a$$!
