McCain: US Must 'Get to the Bottom' of Foreign Hacking
Newsmax ^ | December 18, 2016 | Cathy Burke

"This is serious business," McCain said. "If they are able to harm the electoral process, then they destroy democracy... "

"This is the sign of a possible unraveling of the world order that was established after World War II, which has made one of the most peaceful periods in the history of the world," McCain added.

I guess I should assume that each state provides security for its electors; however, any threats to electors should be taken just as seriously as threats to those in Congress. Since the Founding Fathers decided to attach actual people to the electoral votes of each state; in today’s sorry age, electors are now under threat for the simple task of what should be a formality.

Even IF the Russians hacked into the DNC server, they didn't write those emails, and if the democrats weren't duplicitous and unethical - as exemplified by those emails, it wouldn't have mattered if people saw those emails or not. Further, the Russians didn't force Hillary to break the law and put classified materials on her home server.

So just how did the Russians ‘interfere’ with democracy, John? Even Obama admitted that there's no evidence of any foreign interference with the actual voting or vote tallying process, so just how did ‘hacking’ influence the election? Did you complain about the tape of Trump being released? Did you complain about the constant media attacks on Trump? Are you concerned about the attempts to circumvent the Constitution by threatening and trying to coerce Electoral College electors to vote differently from the will of the people of their respective states?

Something makes me think you might be a bit worried about what might be found if your email was hacked (and I would be very, very surprised if you didn't have a private email account as well).

Does he even know what year it is?
Dementia or Stupidity, that is the question.
Probably a bit of both

For years (my girlfriend can affirm) I have been asking, "Why aren't hacking and identity theft - enormous problems which affect nearly everyone (and which usually have no political implications) - ever mentioned during the presidential campaign season?"

If this so-called Russian hacking finally gets the broader issue of cyber theft elevated to a national priority, it can only be a good thing.

Given that there is no evidence for Russia’s involvement, I am honestly starting to think he is concerned about being exposed like Podesta and Hillary. Is McCain involved in Luciferian blood rituals? Or child trafficking? At any other time in history I would not think so. But today it is a very real possibility!

Enough already! john, you drooling old fool, your “veteran” card has seriously expired. Your family should have you committed to spare the nation embarrassment.

I think I understand.

DC jerked off and Clinton got her ass beat.

BTW DC, don’t waste time putting your creds on a resume in front of me.

His best bet would be to shut the hell up.

Trump doesn’t suffer fools.

McCain seeks any opportunity to go to war with Russia.

I had no idea he was this freaking crazy.

What a shame that he made it out of the cockpit during the Forrestal fire.

Delusional. The Middle East and Europe is in total disarray due to the incompetent Foreign policy of this Administration.

The Russians didn’t hack the election, because the voting machines are not even hooked up to the internet. Even if the Russians had given the info to WikiLeaks all they were doing is releasing the truth-something the USA used to do through the voice of America and radio free Europe-so what’s the matter with that?

On the other hand it would be nice to investigate and stop the funding that the Saudis and Chinese do for the Democrats.

McCain has already got to the bottom and he just keeps digging. I am waiting for the soft sand sides of the hole to collapse in on him.

To think I voted for this heal. I want to personally thank Trump for showing us the truth. These people we thought were on our side were not, there was only one side, without lables it’s simple, it was always the government versus the people. Donald Trump represents the people, it’s been a long time since anyone has.

Seriously!

McCain is our version of Harry Reid. An obnoxious peacock who is somehow able to win and prognosticate, win and bully, win and block, win and cram down, aimed at Republicans who are actual conservatives.
