Maybe if facts were presented, instead of hearsay...Funny how these trump s were so concerned with Hillary and her emails/what she was doing behind closed doors, but are willing to ignore a foreign power blatantly undermining our democracy.
In regards to Russia hacking the democrats. I read the hacked the republicans too. The theory based on them trying to trhrow the election is based on only democrat emails being leaked.
What if there just wasn't anything juicy in the republican emails?
Characterizing the opinion of the CIA and the FBI as domestic propaganda is a new suit of clothes for the GOP, but on the extant record WC is right: we have only the professional opinion of US intelligence agencies.
The CIA believes...
I heard they didn't hack the Republicans. No sign of anything.
Republicans say they were unsuccessfully penetrated.
Operation Chas y Belt worked.
There were tens of thousands of Dem emails leaked an a very small percentage of them contained anything of interest.
Welcome to the third world s
The CIA has toppled hundreds of 3rd world hole government. Its ur turn now. Enjoy
i would disagree, but trump actually got elected, so...
Good point. So how did the Russians throw the election?
I didn't claim they did. I'm disputing the ridiculous idea that Wikileaks held back on releasing RNC emails because they weren't juicy enough. If they were only releasing juicy emails, the whole release would have been less than a dozen.
LOL Hillary is still in shock and asking herself..."how the did I lose to TRUMP?
at least the "i dont like Trump, but..." crowd has dropped the act
I always said I despised Hillary more. I chose not to vote for President and living in Texas that vote didn't count anyway. I can still laugh that that kunt didn't get to be President and I will wish Trump well and hope he doesn't up too bad.at least the "i dont like Trump, but..." crowd has dropped the act
Trump Goes Into Hiding And Cancels Press Conference As Russia Investigation Gains Momentum
President-elect Donald Trump has canceled his first press conference since winning the election as calls grow for a bipartisan investigation into whether or not the Russian government interfered in the 2016 contest.
The cabinet appointments are a flimsy excuse to cover-up the fact that his advisors don’t want Trump to take questions from reporters before the Electoral College votes next week.
Trump is the first president-elect since 1976 not to hold a press conference. Trump last held a press conference on July 27, 2016, which was the same event where he called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton and release her emails.
Trump tried to cancel on The New York Times after they held him to his agreed to on-the-record session.
Trump has avoided taking any questions from the political press in a news conference setting for nearly seven months.
It is not a surprise that Trump would cancel the press conference that he scheduled so he could announce how he will be separating himself from his business interests as president.
The Trump team can’t risk putting him in front a live mic to take questions from reporters about the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election.

The most infamous episodes include the ousting of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 — whose government was replaced by an authoritarian monarchy favorable to Washington — the removal and assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba in 1961, and the violent toppling of socialist Chilean President Salvador Allende, whose government was swept aside in 1973 by a military coup led by the ruthless Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
In 1954, Washington unseated Guatemala's left-wing president, Jacobo Arbenz, who had had the temerity to challenge the vast control of the United Fruit Co., a U.S. corporation, with agrarian laws that would be fairer to Guatemalan farmers. The CIA went on to install and back a series of right-wing dictatorships that brutalized the impoverished nation for almost half a century.
Aside from its instigation of coups and alliances with right-wing juntas, Washington sought to more subtly influence elections in all corners of the world. And so did Moscow. Political scientist Dov Levin calculates that the “two powers intervened in 117 elections around the world from 1946 to 2000 — an average of once in every nine compe ive elections.”
In the late 1940s, the newly established CIA cut its teeth in Western Europe, pushing back against some of the continent's most influential leftist parties and labor unions. In 1948, the United States propped up Italy's centrist Christian Democrats and helped ensure their electoral victory against a leftist coalition, anchored by one of the most powerful communist parties in Europe. CIA operatives gave millions of dollars to their Italian allies and helped orchestrate what was then an unprecedented, clandestine propaganda campaign: This included forging do ents to besmirch communist leaders via fabricated sex scandals, starting a mass letter-writing campaign from Italian Americans to their compatriots, and spreading hysteria about a Russian takeover and the undermining of the Catholic Church.
“We had bags of money that we delivered to selected politicians, to defray their political expenses, their campaign expenses, for posters, for pamphlets,” recounted F. Mark Wyatt, the CIA officer who handled the mission and later participated in more than 2½ decades of direct support to the Christian Democrats.
This template spread everywhere: CIA operative Edward G. Lansdale, notorious for his efforts to bring down the North Vietnamese government, is said to have run the successful 1953 campaign of Philippines President Ramon Magsaysay. Japan's center-right Liberal Democratic Party was backed with secret American funds through the 1950s and the 1960s. The U.S. government and American oil corporations helped Christian parties in Lebanon win crucial elections in 1957 with briefcases full of cash.
In Chile, the United States prevented Allende from winning an election in 1964. “A total of nearly four million dollars was spent on some fifteen covert action projects, ranging from organizing slum dwellers to passing funds to political parties,” detailed a Senate inquiry in the mid-1970s that started to expose the role of the CIA in overseas elections. When it couldn't defeat Allende at the ballot box in 1970, Washington decided to remove him anyway.
“If the Chinese indeed tried to influence the election here . . . the United States is only getting a taste of its own medicine,” Peter Kornbluh, director of the National Security Archive, which is affiliated with George Washington University, said in a 1997 interview with the New York Times. “China has done little more than emulate a long pattern of U.S. manipulation, bribery and covert operations to influence the political trajectory of countless countries around the world.”
And Hillary wanted to influence the Palestinian elections. I bet they wish she did.
hardly comparable to what I just posted.
what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, no?
what goes around comes around?
reap as you sow?
Liar.
He didn't ask for them to hack the emails. He said if they did, he hopes the found the 30,000 missing emails, and that the press wold reward them.
