While You Weren’t Looking, the Democrat–Media Election-Hacking Narrative Just Collapsed

That supposed FBI investigation of collusion with the Russians? Never mind . . . They’re in retreat now. You may have missed it amid President Trump’s startling Saturday tweet storm, the recriminations over president-on-candidate spying, and the Jeff Sessions recusal — a whirlwind weekend. But while you weren’t looking, an elaborate narrative died. For months, the media-Democrat complex has peddled a storyline that the Putin regime in Russia hacked the U.S. presidential election. There is, of course, no evidence that the election was hacked in the sense that the actual voting process was compromised.

This part from todays Wikileaks press release is interesting.... The CIA can leave traces to make it appear their attack was carried out by another state.

Extract from today’s Wikileaks press release:

“The CIA’s Remote Devices Branch’s UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques ‘stolen’ from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the “fingerprints” of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.”

So in other words, they can use UMBRAGE to make it look like a trace exists to Russian hackers, when in reality it is the US/CIA Etc....

Yeah....saw that.......did Obama know about it?

1. I don’t doubt for a minute that the whole purpose was to take down Trump and put Hitlery in the WH.

2. If I understand correctly, it is common practice for the US to get wiretap info on its citizens from the Brits. That way they can truthfully claim that they did NOT tap anyone’s phone (or whatever communication device) and that they did not break any laws against domestic surveillance.

3. If the 0vomit administration spent one tenth the time investigating crime as they did investigating their political enemies, our crime rate would be at rock bottom. (The problem is, a lot of the major crime originates in the 0vomit administration. They don’t want to investigate themselves!)

And these would be the same liberals who complained that the CIA was using "black sites" overseas to interrogate terrorists because "enhanced" interrogation was illegal in the United States.

So I guess it's okay for Democrats to get around USA laws by using foreign assets, but it's not okay for Republican administrations to do it.

Great point. I hadn’t thought of that.

I LOVE FReepers! So smart. I learn so much from them.

Were those posts from Bannon’s official/verified account?

They are from his Facebook page. He posted them there.

..”Yeah....saw that.......did Obama know about it?”.....

Without doubt...but he was “protected” while in office from pretty much anything that would look like he was aware...he certainly will be now.

Flynn’s office was at the Trump tower during the transition. I doubt that he made calls to foreign ambassadors from home. I believe he called dozens of them.

So, based on this fact alone, it’s accurate to say that the Trump tower was wiretapped whether or not Flynn was the target. And to eavesdrop on US citizens domestically you need a FISA warrant. So the warrant should exist.

Another possibility is that the eavesdropping was done by a foreign intelligence service (ie. the British). The Christopher Steele situation suggests that the UK government was involved and was working in collaboration with the Obama administration.

Very well said.

Other than the surveillance transcripts which were leaked to the press and made public, what evidence do you have that there was surveillance? /s

Thank you for the article. I’m thinking from what I read that the FBI & the CIA & the NSA are at each others throats. Rogers may play a big part in this situation.

Well hi there Jane! ..Yes I have greatly missed the fellowship here since Trump won the election. His win certainly encouraged me to get things done here I had put on hold for far too long....and it’s a “great” to have them accomplished!.....Trumps’ encouragement for this nation is also for each one of us to rise and do our “great work”.....even within our circle of control. Doing so does make you feel a part of his undertaking to restore this nation...and that often does begin on our own home front.

If Trump can move the mountains he’s moving I guess then I have no excuse for not trying to move my own! Ha!

[Windflier]

Seems an unwieldy abbreviation.
