According to a CIA report Russia intervened in the US presidential election in favor of Trump. What do you think I question the legitimacy of this election a foreign power has interfered in the U.S. election process. Should we re-vote for president?
Explain why McConnell fought the release of the CIA information BUT the Republicans demanded Comey come forward when he had no evidence of a crime?
Its time to demand a) fair play b) penalties for cheating
Oh I don't doubt that's true for a second... it reeks of corruption. But again, how do you establish that but for the Russian hacking, Hillary Clinton would have won? FYI I don't care for Trump I just don't see how you can conclusively attribute his win to the Russians.
If it was secret we wouldn't know about it. Unnamed sources and allegations are poor journalism.
I'm still waiting for Podesta or others to refute the content of their hacked emails. Maybe MSNBC is an agent of Saudi Arabia since they along with CNN did everything they could for her.
We should re vote. Especially in light of a) popular vote does not agree with Electoral college
b) all polls indicated a result other than the result c) That the RNC fights recounts shows they too know that there was some foul play.
if there was not what has the RNC to fear?
you democrats are dense,,,,,we don't elect our Presidents by national popular vote......we elect our President by E.C......what gave Hillary the national popular lead was 1 state, California where he won by over 4 million votes, the biggest gap in any state..if we need to investigate is California in how easy is for illegals to live there, get legal status and protection and vote and there is NO oversight in that state.....talk about outside interference in our election there is 1 example there.
if we go by polls to elect our government officials why have voting and elections in the first place because the media has never been wrong on anything.....huh?
Perhaps getting into a Secretary of State's account made it easier to hack political party websites. It didn't take an actual burglary of an office to find an open door.
In any case other nations will always act in their own interest. Just like the Ayatollahs in Iran sticking it to President Carter with their hostage release timing being the most noticeable example. Their input, like crowds of Germans cheering for then Senator Obama is just part of it
Citing anonymous officials briefed on the issue, the Post says the CIA shared its findings with senators in a closed-door briefing last week, saying it was now "quite clear" that Russia's goal was to tip the presidency in Trump's favor:
" 'It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected,' said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. 'That's the consensus view.' "
U.S. officials," the Post reports. "Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clinton's chances."

Why is anyone surprised? Meddling of the Russians to support a Trump win was obvious to anyone with a brain. I can assure you that our tyrant-elect Donald Trump will deny it all day every day - he is a liar extraordinaire. This will go nowhere, when he gets into power he will destroy the moral underpinnings of the CIA and the FBI and will turn the power of those entities against the people. I can assure you that public spaces like this one here at C-D, Reddit, and others will be monitored very closely in order to identify the enemies of the state; the first pogrom is scheduled to take place just before the next Presidential election.

Other sources claim it was an inside leak from the DNC. What's more believable?
Russia, hacked into the DNC servers because for some reason they were so afraid of HRC (most amazing super leader ever)? Fortunately, the DNC was incapable of securing its servers. Then, luckily again, there were months and months of fodder from those closest to HRC disparaging her on a frequent basis? (Jackpot! no need to fabricate anything) Then all they had do was hand off this to Wikileaks (well known Russian stooge) and subtlety move the needle?
or
DNC insider leaks emails out of disgruntlement or monetary gain?
In either scenario, the main point is that the dirt was there. Podesta biting the hand that feeds. The private/public positions. On and on and on. And not a peep from the HRC campaign questioning the veracity. No - it was the bogeyman in the shadows.
Even if you believe the Russia theory, the headline could easily be "Russian government helps report the truth". Truth is truth - I have a hard time getting upset when someone uncovers the truth about our leaders.
