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.

pfffft- only 100% Sure? Assange is 1000% sure it wasn’t=- Sorry dems- you lose
Oh yea, don’t get me started on the Red Herrings and excuse making. My lunch would get cold.
When people in the Obama Regime use words like “clearly” or “obviously,” they are lying.
The Obama controlled State Department???? ok
Our state department has turned into a bunch of teenie bopper libs. Can’t wait for grown ups to return.
“Russian government was involved in election-related hacking”
Lotta wiggle room there.
Has John Kirby ever dished up fake news before like Benghazi?
“The information is there, and it’s rock solid.”
hic rhodus hic salta
16 days left for the “most transparent administration ever”.
Seen a couple vids of that Kirby guy, him and Earnest could do a SNL revival of “TWO DISGUSTING AND SLEAZY GUYYYYZZZZ”
Yes, I’ve seen it and he’s a lying scumbag.
He would probably take the USA to war before admitting he was wrong about anything.
“I expect Trump to start firing these jackasses within minutes of taking office.”
I don’t think it is that easy. Assignment to the Aleutian Islands however...
Julian Assange told Hannity that he was 1000% certain that Russia was NOT involved.
State Department Spokesman John Kirby is a serial liar.
Do a quick search on the terms John Kirby Iranian ransom lie and see what pops up. The ransom that wasn’t a ransom (only it was). Pallets full of cash that will fund the murders of Americans for years to come, lovingly handed over to America’s sworn enemy by America’s own internal enemies.
Whether it is John Kirby, or his boss John Kerry, or Kerry’s boss Barack Obama, lying to the American people is just ‘what they routinely do’.
Even the despicable Iranian mullahs were more truthful than this sorry bunch.
If Kirby is so anxious to speak to the press, he should be detailing what he and his boss are doing to get those court-ordered missing emails.
I am 100% certain that Hillary consciously decided not to campaign (much) in key (close) states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
I am 100% certain John Podesta was the victim of a phishing expedition, and 100% certain his IT guy who verified that the phish was not a phish is an idiot.
I am 100% certain Hillary exposed State secrets to unauthorized staff and friends.
I am 100% certain Lil Debbie and Donna Brassier rigged the Primaries to tank Bernie.
I am 100% certain lost the election based on her own incompetence and that of her staff.
I am 100% certain that Jill Stein's feeble attempt at the recounts revealed Democrat tampering in many precincts - and and failed to reveal that the tampering was from any Russian influence.
Inasmuch that the media fails to identify the difference between "immigration" and ":illegal immigration", I am 100% convinced that the media does not understands the difference between a "hack" and a "leak".
So: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
I know people in the State Dept.
Hard core Hillary supporter and knows nothing about internet security or even technology.
What’s that word that the Russians have been using lately that means a state that can not be trusted to keep a deal that it makes?
