The big issue is a foreign Gov't hacked into an election and picked what information they wanted the people of OUR country to see. Some think it is OK because of a claim that it exposed private information. All of these issues have never been shown to be real. In fact they have been shown to have been fabricated. The resent attack of a local nut here in Salisbury on a pizza place in DC is a perfect example of fabricated information which came out of this hack.

I believe that the GOP will feel the pain in the form of ransom during Nutty Don's Presidency.

I do not believe that we need that type of outside help.

Objective reality?

Exactly how does, hypothetically, Russia hack the 51 Boards of Elections in the 50 states & DC? Remember we are talking about 10s of 1000s of local voting locations How do they do this undetected?

No voting machine is connected to the Internet or to any network, many places still use paper ballots and they are counted by hand, each state does it differently and uses different equipment, all votes are subject to manual recounts.

So find a News Outlet that explains HOW it could be done. That's how you know you won't be listening to Fake News.

Enjoy the read, but if you are troubled by an American Election untainted by Russian hacking, if you care about American Values, you need to call your congressional representatives and demand action on an illegal take over of our American Government by a FOREIGN POWER.

If you don't care then you are as guilty as the Russian Gov in stealing an election.
What's disgraceful is that Donny (I don't need no intel briefings) Twitter is completely dismissing the report and calling the competence of the CIA into question, while doing so. This is looney tunes even for him and makes you wonder how low this creep will stoop to advantage him and the corrupt political party he is the head of.

At a certain point national security needs to rise above partisanship and one's ego, but we are talking about Trump so too much to expect. Buckle your seat belts everybody!

You alleged "CIA says there absolutely no evidence that Russians tried to influence election."

What's the source of that? Or are we listening to Fake News?

It's amazing how short the memory of lefties are......

The exchange between the US and Russian presidents was picked up by microphone without either leader apparently knowing.

Mr Medvedev, who steps down in May, said he would pass on Mr Obama's message to his successor Vladimir Putin, according to an audio recording of comments the two leaders made during a meeting in Seoul, South Korea.

Donna Brasille has admitted leaking questions to the Clinton campaign prior to the debate. Wasserman-Schultz had to step down from her position once it became known she was not impartial to both Dem candidates. The O'Keefe files have undercover video evidence about the program to pay people to attack Trump supporters...the person in charge of this program visited the Whitehouse hundreds of times. What issue is not real? What exactly has been fabricated??? Not once has anyone from the DNC come out and said these were fake and denied their content....just more finger pointing at the Russians.

"The CIA concluded that Russia worked to elect Trump."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.359e6be4350b

So we have a president elect who potentially colluded with a foreign power to win an election. Nice.

And what does the source matter? Either the CIA has made an intelligence assessment or it hasn't. It seems like people are taking issue with the sources the information is coming from rather than the information itself.
And either the information in the emails exists or it doesn't in spite of any hypothetical hacking used to obtain them. Amirite?

Though, the emails actually exist because we've seen them.

No report nor source for the report has been proven nor named. Thus, the claims, while effectively undermining the election in the manner of any fake news promulgated on a large institutional scale, are unsupported and can't be verified. They are as good as hearsay.

I thought that the libs were apoplectic over fake news. I suppose that it is only a factor when it intervenes against their interests.

Are you? The ones making this claim are the same ones who insisted that Trump would never win the election. They were wrong just like you were wrong about it. I would think you would have learnt a lesson from that by now.
