State Department spokesman say he is '100 percent certain' Russian government was involved in election-related hacking
U.S. administration is certain Russian government was involved in email hacking
State Department Spokesman John Kirby told CNN there was 'no question'
It comes after Julian Assange said Russian was not behind election hacks
WikiLeaks founder said Barack Obama was 'trying to delegitimize Donald Trump'
Emails stolen from DNC and Clinton's campaign chairman were published online The U.S. administration is '100 percent certain' that the Russian government played a role in hacking emails during the bitter presidential election.
State Department Spokesman John Kirby told CNN on Tuesday that there was 'no question' about Russia's involvement.
'The information is there, and it's rock solid. And we obviously would not have pursued the measures that we pursued without that level of certainty,' he said.
'So, yes, we are a 100% certain.' Kirby said it was not just the assessment of President Obama or Secretary of State John Kerry, but the entire intelligence community.
President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly doubted the suggestion Russian hackers help influence the election.
'If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?' he tweeted last month.
'Unless you catch "hackers" in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn't this brought up before election?' Trump followed up with.
It comes after Trump spokesman Sean Spicer insisted on Monday that there was still 'zero evidence' the election was swayed by hackers.

He’s a lying commie ‘RAT “spokesman” from the State Department. It’s his job to spew BS like this. That’s why the taxpayers are paying him the “big bucks.”
So who are we to believe, you or the kid next door?
AND THE KID WINS, AGAIN!
I’m glad we’re finally getting to the bottom of this question of who we should thank for exposing the truth about the democrats.
We just need to determine what name to put on the trophy.
And I am sure this spokesman is a cyber security expert who has the qualifications to make such a call /sarc
Two days after Trump is inaugurated I predict there will be a round of finger-pointing where intelligence officials will start calling out other intelligence officials who went along with cooking the books on this.
Cuz that's how the President of the US handled it. Right??
Does anyone believe that little tale??
Government officials always say 110% or 150% when they pretend they are certain about something.
Dead giveaway that he is spreading bovine excrement.
>Two days after Trump is inaugurated I predict there will be a round of finger-pointing where intelligence officials will start calling out other intelligence officials who went along with cooking the books on this.
I expect Trump to start firing these jackasses within minutes of taking office.
And they kept up the lie about the youtube video even after everyone knew it had nothing to do with the attack.
“”State department spokesman”
Soon to hear those beautiful words, “YOU’RE FIRED”. “
Former Rear Admiral John Kirby should have his Admiral’s commission taken away. He’s representative of the kind of senior military “leadership” that Trump must ferret out and kick out of the service. He’s as big a liar as is Josh (Mr. Bull$hit) Earnest.
The Kerry State Department and the Obama White House have zero credibility. Why? Because they earned it!
Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Etc were convinced ‘Libya was caused by a video
“Two days after Trump is inaugurated I predict there will be a round of finger-pointing where intelligence officials will start calling out other intelligence officials who went along with cooking the books on this.”
It’s called lying to try and save your job!
So. I get an email stating that if simply click the link below, I will get “best penis”. That link downloads malware onto my computer. And that malware was written by a Chinese person.
It is not my fault. It is China’s fault
WikiLeaks’s Assange Repeats Denial: ‘1000 Percent’ Russian Gov’t Not Involved in Leaked DNC Emails
John Kirby:
“It’s true because my boss said so......”
Said another way, why would we doubt the State Dept. being that the organization is a paragon of virtue, trust and honesty?
So the claim is the Russian hacked to influence the election.
Did you vote for Trump because of anything the Russians supposedly did? Do you know anyone that voted for Trump because of what the Russians did? No?
Then the Russians did not influence the election.
Dare I add Pharaoh, for the Israelites?
“For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.—Romans 9:17 (via Exodus).
God is using every ruler, whether they will it or not. In the end He will be glorified forevermore!
