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.

I BELIEVE that the American people are FED UP with this CRAP and Trump doesn’t need to do a thing let these BASTARDS just go on and on and hang themselves!! They look like FOOLS!!!

Obama will use this to cancel the transfer of power—dismiss congress and rule by decree “until the problem can be sorted out in a long investigation “ Then, he can appoint his own all Progressive congress and appoint Hillary as a Unity Candidate. He can do this before Texas and the old Confederacy leaves the Union and starts CW II.

Is it too late to begin impeachment proceedings on this enemy of the US?

Dear Obama:

There is an old saying: "Live by the sword, die by the sword".

At this point there is very little left of the Obama Legacy. In fairness (look that up in Wikipedia, it's an interesting concept) I was willing to let you retain that last tiny bit of your legacy. Note the "was" part. At this point in I'm seriously rethinking my earlier stated Legacy Policy.

Stay in touch.

Donald

We could say Mexico influenced the election by having Mexican illegals vote. Obama even told them they could. This benefited Hillery. Let’s ask McCain to get a full report on how many illegals voted, and get a recount on the California ballots.

A Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim, influenced the election through the New York Times as well.

Without any proof, I hereby emphatically claim that Russia installed Barry into the White Crib in 2008, and claim they ensured he was re-elected in 2012. I call for an impeachment, a House investigation, and Senate investigation....screw the FBI and CIA...they are just shills for the commies. Put Dubya back in the White Crib!

We need to protect our precious bodily fluids.

Do I really need a /sarc tag????

Another false accusation against the Russians by people responsible for law enforcement.

Perhaps we need a “Russians Lives Matter” group.

two weeks before the election when the liberal world believed hillary was going to crush trump like a bug, obama was ridiculing Trump and saying the election wasn’t rigged and all was perfectly above board, totally honest election, no foreign influence, nothing to see here folks, etc.; two weeks after Trump won the election, obama starts saying the election was rigged - by the russians.

Praising Putin is bad, but praising China is good ? Who is building military bases in the South China Sea ?

And is Obummer the only Presidential bum who hit the campaign trail (on our dime) for his chosen successor, Hillary Clinton. Him and Mooch ought to be charged for the expenses! (Plane, security, venues, etc.)

To admit that the climate gate emails had substance, is too admit they are crooks. To admit that the DC and Hillary emails had substance, is to admit they are crooks. They will go down fighting, just like Khan in Wraith of Khan.

And it would explain Assange putting out a reward for information on Seth’s murder.

I would love to see Assange on the balcony of the Embassy (although it would be a risk for him), but it would be a proof of life”. There has been only one recording of his voice since his computer was disabled, and evidently doesn’t sound at all like him. So word came out he had a cold. Doubting Thomas that I am, I would like to see the man “in the flesh”.

“Obama interfering with the peaceful transfer of power to the next administration. Has this ever been done in the history of this Republic??”

Ask Brit Hume. He lamented the fact that Trump’s refusal to accept the outcome of the election was “unprecedented” (which it wasn’t, of course).

Maybe Trump would have also won the popular vote had it not been for the Russian hacking. We just don’t know.

On the Wikileaks site, I don’t see any Podesta emails having an origination date subsequent to the murder of Seth Rich in July.
