where are you getting this information? It appears from the re counting that has been done, NV and WI indication anything was wrong. Of course we can't have another election. I think down deep you know this. My advise to all the whiners out there: if the colleges are supplying service dogs for students to survive finals, maybe they would lead you a dog to help you get over your obsession with what happened a month and or you can join Stein as she continues her stupid plan. It is called making a fool out of yourself.

A secret report based on anonymous sources from a biased media outlet, sure sounds "official" to me. Funny how low the bar for facts can get for the left when it confirms their bias.

Ahh. So you guys blame the Russians for exposing how corrupt the Hillary campaign was including the collusion with the supposedly unbiased MSM to defeat Trump.

LOL

Are you talking about the same people who said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?


The CIA has habit of making public statements that the sitting president wants them to say.

Where's the Proof?

So all the wingnuts are quick to refute any Russian involvement in our elections and don't believe that any investigation is even necessary, because their guy won.

Now if Russian involvement was determined to have caused a Clinton victory, progressives and liberals would be calling for an investigation to determine what happened and how to prevent it from happening again.

That's because we love democracy, our country, and the rule of law, and wingnuts like authoritarianism and have nothing but contempt for the rule of law.

That link relates to the actual election results, the issue is the hacking of committee emails leading up to the election.
A foreign entity leaking documents is the same as a domestic entity leaking documents. It doesn't matter whether it's a government or a private organization backed by the Koch Brothers or Soros. There were plenty of damaging stories about Trump in the last two months. On the other hand, if the Clinton emails hadn't been leaked earlier, there was already the opportunity for the emails to come out at the last minute from the FBI. Some of the politicians were accusing the FBI of trying to sabotage Clinton.

Yes, there are two issues. One is whether a foreign government attempted to influence the election by hacking political services or whether they broke into voting machines and computers to attempt to change the results.

The leaked secret CIA assessment preempts an Obama ordered assessment of election hacks that's supposed to come out before Trump takes office and which would involve the FBI as well.

a) The popular vote does agree, in each state the popular vote resulted in the number of electoral votes.

b) Why vote at all then? Let's just go with the polls.

c) Show's nothing of the sort. Maybe it's just the waste of time and money and sense of revulsion at the effort to undermine an election with no evidence of actual fraud on the scale being purported?

There is zero proof of that.....remember it was the CIA that told us that Iraq had WMD's in Iraq...

What is striking is that if the report is true, Obama's FBI director made an issue of Hillary and then Obama's CIA sat on evidence (and still is) that Putin was influencing the election. Talk about Obama giving Put in a free hand.

" '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."

Washington Post has to retract fake news story!!!

Bwahahahahahaha!!

Washington Post now admits its “fake news” story relied on… get this… a FAKE news source

A few days ago, I wrote about how the Washington Post was committing “credibility suicide” with its obviously fabricated Craig Timberg story accusing Natural News and 199 other websites of being “fake news” sources controlled by the Russian government. Now, after the discredited paper has been threatened with lawsuits by several of the websites named in the WashPost’s cited source, they’ve all but admitted their entire story was surely fake to begin with.
Wednesday evening, the Washington Post added an editor’s note to the top of their story which essentially admits the Washington Post slandered and defamed 200 websites by reporting fabricated, false news derived from sources that even they no longer think are legitimate. Without offering any direct apology or retraction of their blatantly false and extremely irresponsible “fake news” story, Washington Post editors have now added this “weasel words” half-apology:
