White House suggests Trump benefited from Russia hacking
CNN ^

Posted on 12/12/2016 11:12:32 AM PST by TigerClaws

The White House strongly suggested Monday that Donald Trump was the beneficiary of Russian meddling in the US election, saying it was the President-elect who praised Vladimir Putin on the campaign trail. "The emails that had been hacked and leaked by the Russians, these were emails from the (Democratic National Committee) and John Podesta, not from the (Republican National Committee) and Stephen Bannon," said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest. "It was the President-elect who over the course of the campaign indicated that he thought that President Putin was a strong leader," Earnest added.

He said members of Congress should "spare us the hand-wringing" and move forward with investigating Russian ties to the election.

Obama interfering with the peaceful transfer of power to the next administration.

Has this ever been done in the history of this Republic??

The MSM has decided to not mention Wikileaks. This is Wikileaks being called into question. Not one email has ever been disproved. DNC fired their dear leader and many staffers as a result and the emails showed the DNC stole the nomination from Bernie.

But now it's the Russian's fault?

Trump really needs to purge the government and RINO party after he's in power.

Trump needs to AUDIT results at the state level.

Pick two she won, two he won. Then look to see if there are ‘irregularities’ in the voting, including foreign nationals voting in our election, multi-state registered voters, or dead voters.

Then when he has a few hundred thousand California illegal votes, issue federal warrants.

Then move state by state.

The Democrats have stepped onto a HUGE landmine.

Trump is playing 3D chess. He’ll let them walk into this and it’s a trap.

The same White House that told us less than one month ago that the voting process was secure.

After Clinton took the cash and gave away the farm in the uranium deal, why would the Russians help her opponent?

The problem is that they are sounding a bit like John Belushi when Carrie Fisher catches up with him in The Blues Brothers.

It was the Electoral System.
It was James Comey.
It was Anthony Weiner
It was a Russian hacker.
It was fake news.
It was all the racist Trump supporters.
She won the popular vote…

What is really interesting the same media that was totally disinterested when Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russian President Medvedev: “Tell Vald that I’ll have more flexibility once I am re-elected” is now all up in arms.

“Trump really needs to purge the government and RINO party after he’s in power.”

And tear down the white house for divisively “suggesting” such things. It “was built by slaves”, anyway, and has been further sullied by the anti-American racist bigots occupying it for the last eight years.

All of this was vetted during the election. If anything he lost votes due to Putin. Hillary certainly did not refrain from making it an issue.

All of this is cover for the real story.
Seth Rich was murdered because he was the leak for the DNC e-mails.

If this report is true, it is rather spooky that a White House spokesman is making comments of this nature. It can be seen as a prelude to treasonous action by the current administration.
