I haven't been paying attention but with all the defense of Comey I have to wonder if the scuttlebutt is that Trump is going to keep the corrupt Comey on?

This is purely anecdotal, but I saw an ex-intel person interviewed, and he said his intel buddies said that some intel people hacked the Emails to get back at Hillary for Benghazi and her betrayal and disinterest of the heroic intel guys that died that day.
And that's why the intel is saying it's Russia, but won't go in front of Congress or show any evidence.

Anecdotal, but sounds plausible.

Remember that little tete a tete between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton just before Comey made his announcement about the findings of the FBI's alleged investigation of Hillary?

She was supposed to be the next president, after all. It wouldn't do to have prosecution for criminal activities hanging over the head of Madame President, after all. Couldn't have HER presidency delegitimized in any way, even with the truth.

You really HAVEN'T been paying attention - that much is clear.

The Russians are used by the liberals as a red herring to distract people from the corrupt and deceitful liberals... don't fall for it, stay focused on the REAL issue... the liberals are spreading disinformation so people would FORGET the lying liberals are the problem...

Denying everything is a new thing with Trumpism. He denies facts, and so do his followers.

Most likely true and not an excuse.

At least enough people did what Comey and Lynch refused to do. Hold her personally accountable.

It's not a foreign attack and you cannot show how this alleged "meddling" influenced the Election.

The US constantly interferes in foreign elections, so why should the US be immune to such influence? Your position is hypocritical, smelling like, "Do as I say, not as I do."

Um... stuxnet? Merkels phone? Heck FBI NSA CIA domestic espionage on US citizens without warrants which I know occurs from multiple ISP providers... and you are worried about an allegation?

If foreign powers weren't trying to hack our systems I'd be concerned. It's called intelligence communities doing what they do.
