Unless you are like Trump and believe our intelligence community, which is made up of 16 agencies and thousands of employees, is lying to bolster the campaign of Hillary Clinton.

16 intelligence agencies???? More government bloat. We used to do fine with just 3.

Yes, rookie mistake to simply pick up the phone and engage in conversations with foreign leaders. He needs someone to show him how things work.

Trying to forecast the weather, or guess who will win the Superbowl, or who wins the elections is not exactly "news", they are forecasts, or guesses, or speculation.

Weather forecast: 77 degrees.

Actual weather: 76 degrees

You: FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS!!!!!!

It is a huge issue and one that our government has been having enormous problems with for some time now. It raises serious questions about why the DNC did not secure their network better and also why Hillary Clinton did not secure her homebrew server - apparently located the bathroom - better as well. There appears to be a pattern and practice of this sort of irresponsible conduct by these people.

At the same time, we need to keep in mind that the more serious issue is the corruption that these disclosures reveal, not that the truth was revealed.

Of course both of these matters need to be investigated, but so far there has been precious little discussuon of the election rigging done by the DNC in cooperation with Hillary Clinton during the Democrat's primary contest.

Anyone in the US can pick up a phone and talk to anyone they please, unless you know something no one else knows. No one needs permission from the Government, or any Democrats. Do you know of some "Phone Police?" Goofy left wing fruitcakes are so funny.

I think its great that Hillary and the DNC where exposed in the leaks. Who cares if they where hacked or it was a leak from inside the Hillary Camp. It brought the Roaches out in the Sunlight and now they are furious. Its great. Its one of the great things of this Century. Liberals should worry more about improving their own image instead of throwing tantrums which only makes them look worse.

Goes to show America that Trump was the best choice, and we can see what a Hillary choice would have looked like for the next 4 years. They would not have accepted any vote made by the people, if they did not like it. They would have the CIA, FBI, and everyone else all over people they did not like, or that would complain abiut the Administration, just like they had the IRS go after Republican organizations. They would have imported Millions of Muslims, with hundreds of Jihadists hiding among them and made America a cesspool, like many of the Nations are now in the EU, because of all these Muslims creating Chaos. These Liberals don't know how lucky they are having Trump win.

After your first sentence I thought you were going to indicate hacking by a foreign power, you dissapointed. The election process and the super delgates are in fact an issue, that came out in this election but is nothing new for either party. That is not some underhanded scheme but needs to be changed within the parties.


Hacking has been going on for some time, OPM, SONY not to mention banks, the power grid and the hacking of medical records at hospitals yet you point out the DNC, is the RNC immune? top notch security.


What these hacks revealed is more serious than a foreign power impacting our election system, seriously? and for just one party not the other?

You also told us that Hillary would win the election. Quite the rookie mistake for her to lose.

So are you saying that you really didn't mean it when you said that Hillary would win the election?
