The State/CIA has made several major blunders and would rather continue to suck in the military to fix their mistakes.

The government released an earlier statement yesterday confirming that the election wasn't hacked.

If the Russians obtained documents damaging to the Clinton campaign, it's really no different than what saw carried out against Trump with the negative stories in the press. It appears that the media is in a similar position as with the Snowden leaks. If the information is made public, they have to report it.
A foreign power hacking into the DNC & RNC is the same as a news story that paints Trump in a bad light, seriously.


That link relates to the actual election results, the issue is the hacking of committee emails leading up to the election.

There is an upset coming, there is a reset that is about to occur that will be out of anyones control. The natural order of things will re-balance and there will be a great deal of gnashing of teeth and donning of ashes and sackcloth. The very nature of the tidal wave of the Trump train has caused itself to derail...ever watch a train wreck?...stay tuned, brothers...

Vladamiere Putin...making America great again since last month
The Trump following can attempt to distort and rewrite the facts and to create an alternate reality, but 25% of the country is nowhere near a "tidal wave". It is a minority.

One-third of Republicans have no idea that Clinton won the popular vote.

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.
No proof Russia was involved.


If the press and journalists were doing their job, Wiki would have been irrelevant.


In the absence of a free press we area banana republic.

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.
How about if they are bolstering a lie to further provoke and escalate a new cold war in order to maintain both their employment and significance.

Hopefully Trump has plans to shrink those 16 agencies down to possibly one or two, and by many many thousands of federal employees.

We can refer to them in many terms, agents, etc......but at the end of the day they're really only over-paid bureaucrats.

Russian fear mongering isn't going to change anything. Nice try though.

No one is saying that they messed with votes or that Trump should not have won.
That is exactly what they are saying.

You know, I'm not in support of Russia trying to tamper with our election, but the US Government doesn't have a leg to stand on with our record of tampering with governments and trying to "install democracy" Elections have consequences, and messing with other countries governments has consequences too, its called blow back.

Yes yes...another "tip of the iceberg"


Just like the three states needing to be recounted right?

Then when that well dries up...we'll have another conspiracy with more emergency investigations.


Every week there's a new conspiracy.

Let's tell it like it is--this is simply an attempt to continue to delegitimize Trump's victory in the election.
