WikiLeaks calls on Obama to submit proof of Russian hacking for verification
RT ^ | 12/16/16

Following Barack Obama’s vow to take action against Russia for its alleged hacking of the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta’s emails, WikiLeaks has suggested the president upload any documents to its whistleblowing site for verification.

In a tweet on Friday from the WikiLeaks Twitter account, the whistleblowing website encouraged Obama to “submit any Putin documents” to them so they can “be authenticated to our standards if he wants them to be seen as credible.”

The tweet comes only a day Obama told NPR, “there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action.”

The president has ordered a full review into the hacking and expects it will give “a comprehensive and best guess as to those motivations,” behind the leaks.

The Washington Post published an article last week featuring claims by anonymous CIA officials that Russia had “intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump.” It quickly came under public scrutiny, as people were wary of trusting anonymous claims without evidence, given the intelligence agencies’ historyoflying to the public.

The Washington Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos’s, also has contracts with the CIA worth$600 million, more than double what he paid for the Post.

There have been calls for the intelligence agencies to produce evidence of Russian government hacking the DNC.

Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange clearly stated, “Our source was not the Russian government.”

Obama: “there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action.”-—

But when a foreign Marxist globalist oligarch funds hundreds of violent protests leading to the murder of police officers and throws money at the undermining of American electoral institutions and starts fomenting sedition, that doesn’t count, right?

As with all destructive political movements, their origins can be traced to a small group of individuals, sometimes even a handful. The rest of their numbers are those educated beyond the limits of their intelligence. In this instance, we know their names, as we’ve been staring at them for the last 25 years.

As another poster said, when Chris Wallace, the dunce, proclaimed Russian hacking to be “fact”, his guest should have said, “Then why haven’t you released the evidence of that fact?? Go ahead, put up or shut up!”

Putin should sue him for slander in US courts.

Put up or shut up.
