Isn't this the ‘fake news’ that Barky wants to start a war with Russia to keep Trump from taking his Oath of Office?

With a war going on, the Middle East now so unsettled with what Kerry has done to Israel, this is the George Soros plan to get America into a New World Order...with Barky as America's King...

Pray people, and pray hard that God has His Hands on America, Trump Administration and Israel...

He is throwing all sorts of political bombs.

Looks like Ø is planting IEDs all over the place, to explode and tear off limbs of Trump, his incoming Administration, and the American Public.

It would be silly to claim the Russians tampered with the election if Hitlery won. Now I would not put it past the left to do this, as they put Stein up to the recount, which was just silly as she stood no chance of winning.

IMO, if Hitlery won, she’d pursue some other avenue to get into war with Russia.

For the globalists to truly succeed world wide, they need to get Russia and China under their thumbs. War is about the only way they can pull it off.

Obama is leaving office and trying to sabotage America's relationship with Russia.

Which means that Trump can get credit for rebuilding America's relationship with Russia.

But there’s already a consensus in the Senate. They don’t need any facts.

Good thing Obama has no ability to launch nuclear strikes. That idiot would do it to try to stay in office. His handlers have no doubt tried to think through that one.

a Russian disinformation campaign that used information stolen from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and other Democratic organizations to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign.

How was that DISINFORMATION if it came from the DNC servers?

What the MSM and DNC was putting out was DISINFORMATION about (staged) violent outburts at Trump rallies, staged 'townhall' and 'debate' questions, 'staged' polling numbers, and other collusion (including giving Hillary a red pen to take to articles about her).

Let what go? Russia trying to hack US institutions like we try to hack Russian institutions?

Assange has made it clear that Russia was not a source of their Podesta or other Hillary wikileaks at all.

Barry and Brennan are lying.

They claim they saw signs of Russia’s hand in this before the election results. They sat quietly until they lost.

If Trump had lost you wouldn’t hear anything of Russia hackers influencing the 2016 election. It was counter to what they were saying as they sought a promise from Trump that he would accept the results of the election.
