Santelli ‘Meet the Press’ Panel on Russian Hacking — ‘On Election Night, I Never Saw You So Unhappy
Breitbart ^ | January 8,2017 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 01/08/2017 1:33:36 PM PST by Hojczyk

RICK SANTELLI: To see Russians happy because Trump won — on election night, I never saw you so unhappy. You pick sides. Everybody picks sides.

ANDREA MITCHELL: That’s not true, Rick.

CHUCK TODD: Who picks sides?

MITCHSLL: That’s just not true. Let’s get back to the facts here.

SANTELLI: What are the facts? We were hacking [Angela] Merkel’s phone. Everybody does it.

MITCHELL: Rick, here’s the difference. We do it, they do it. What made this different is that the Russians weaponized it by transferring it through intermediaries to WikiLeaks. They dumped it out. We do it and hold it. They do it and hold it.

(CROSSTALK)

MITCHELL: Let me finish my sentence — WikiLeaks was out from the end of the summer and it was being investigated.

SANTELLI: So where were these headlines then?

(CROSSTALK)

MITCHELL: There was plenty of headlines. There was no proof of who did it.

SANTELLI: People in charge of intelligence are political as well.

DONNA EDWARDS: What happened here is the intelligence gathering that normally takes place was operationalized by the Russians to interfere with our elections. If you look at the report —

MITCHELL: They did it in Ukraine. They’re doing it in Germany.

EDWARDS: They’re doing it in Germany right now and this is really serious. We’re not going to get over by just saying everybody does it.

SANTELLI: Right, we should be solving the problem instead of making it a political hot potato. Let me see the Cuban missiles on the island picture. Trump needs to see it before networks need to see it.

MITCHELL: I went to the hearing —

SANTELLI: Oh the hearing. There’s hearings on everything. They’re kabuki theater.

MITCHELL: Well Rick, if you had been there you would have seen something very different.

The idea of them trying to defend their nonexistent journalistic integrity is just laughable.

What is really amazing is that 1) Democrats do not dispute the contents of what was supposedly hacked and 2) they still refuse that accept that fact that Hillary was a flawed candidate who was exposed by wikileaks for being corrupt.

But more importantly, the media is really pissed off that wikileaks exposed what the MSM refused to report. If they want to blame Russia, and I think Trump should put context around it. The MSM chose to hide Clinton’s crimes, thereby disenfranchising the American voter.

Santelli’s right - almost everyone at MSNBC looked like their best friend had died when they learned Trump was going to be President.

Some of the folks at FoxNews looked the same... really telling.

They have moved on now to outright saying the non-event Wikileaks emails was Russian hacking and there is still ZERO evidence of that. NONE!

O No!!!!!! They weaponized the leak, just like biological warfare. Ever notice how terms that the DNC focus groups come up with to spin end up being regurgitated word for word by the media? But they definitely don’t pick sides.

How dare the little people be able to see what assholes the Democrats are behind our backs! That threatens democracy if they can’t put on a fake front for us. If Russia did it they deserve our gratitude.

Speaking of “weaponized” election meddling.....

Two years ago Barack Obama sent Jeremy Bird to Israel and spent US taxpayer money in a failed attempt to influence their election and defeat Netanyahu’s re-election bid.

Bird is Obama’s ace political strategist from his own election campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

How many democrat libtards want to defend that?

For more detail just Google “obama interference in israel election”

Watching them on election night was the most fun I’d had in a long time.

As of Friday there is one fewer at FOX and one more at NBC.

There is no remotely comparable evidence in the Wikileaks case.

Never looked so happy?

Say what?

All the photos I saw of the press from election night basically looked they were taken at a wake.

You almost wondered how many of them would do themselves in.
