The article is 2009, but there were reports of dirty tricks being employed back in 2002 and 2003 when the press was somewhat more free.
The press has always been free.

I believe he said "when the audit is over". As of his last statement it's not over yet. So your point (other than I hate Trump no matter what he does)?

So far CNN (Clinton News Network)has blamed:

Comey
Fake news
Bad pollsters
voter fraud
Russia

I wonder what their next excuse will be for HRC's loss. CNN sucks and will continue to spew it's fake news until their viewer ratings are in the single digits.

Everyone knows that Obama politicalized all government departments under his control, including US Intelligence.

We do know that Fox News just panders to Republicans. Do you really think they are going to put something out there to make their man look bad? Hannity would be devastated if his idol was caught up in a scandal. One thing is certain on Fox News," Obama had something to do with it......"

One of them is now a KGB museum on an ex-USSR nation (Estonia).
My point was more along the lines of - isn't it funny that the leader of a country is bragging about prostitutes. Doesn't anyone else find humor in that?

The dossier claims there was a handoff between DNC insiders and Russian exchanging the documents for cash in three separate locations (NYC, DC, and Miami).

Now, there appears to be further confirmation by the ex-president that the documents were leaked by disgruntled insiders.

First of all, I haven't commented on WikiLeaks, generally. The conclusions of the intelligence community with respect to the Russian hacking were not conclusive as to whether WikiLeaks was witting or not in being the conduit through which we heard about the DNC emails that were leaked.

Have to wonder if the dossier was a way for the CIA to leak to a third party (Orbis BI).
