MSNBC admits Hillary and some Feds committed crimes

[rightwinger]

Hannity needs to be locked up

 

[WEATHER53]

When you can show me how votes got changed or incorrectly tabulated then you have something
Otherwise this is emotional nonsense and Russians may have wanted to meddle, you probably hope they did so you can wail forever about your inexplicable loss, they may have meddled because they always do meddle. Internet postings about “Hillary bad...nyet vote for her” does not amount to a hill(ary) of beans

 

[westwall]

the shrilary's campaign was colluding with the Ukrainian government. Do try and keep up.

Oh so now it’s not Russia playing both sides, nope now you on to some other rw bubble bullshit.

Who in Hillary’s campaign was seeking help from Ukraine’s government?

Is Ukraine also an adversarial country that hacked our political institutions?

Wow, you're pretty dense aren't you. russia was attacking both sides of our election. The ukraine was colluding with the shrilary's campaign. Two different countries there sweetie. Take a geography class so you know what we are talking about.

Hey idiot what you just said is BULLSHIT.

Our intelligence says it’s bullshit and even our REPUBLICAN Congress said it’s bullshit - Putin was SPECIFICALLY out to sabotage Clinton who’s guts he hated and help Trump’s campaign.

Russia interfered in US election to help Donald Trump, Senate investigation concludes

US Senate intelligence leaders: Russians schemed to help Trump

The assessment, which U.S. intelligence leaders issued weeks before Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, concluded that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had ordered an “influence campaign” intended ” to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.” It added that the Russians eventually developed “a clear preference” for Trump, and in time “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.”

So why do you keep saying bullshit?
Reality too painful for you to face?
How pathetic.

I will make one suggestion, pull your head out of cnns ass, and take a look at some more credible sources.


Sen. Collins says Russia meddled in 2016 election to sow discord

The senator tells senior citizens in Auburn on Friday that the interference didn't favor any candidate.

BY STEVE COLLINSSUN JOURNAL


AUBURN — When Russia attacked America’s election in 2016, it didn’t change any votes directly but it “absolutely” achieved its chief aim, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins said Friday.

The Maine Republican said Russia’s goal was to sow discord among voters in the United States, and it proved so successful that the country remains heavily split more than a year after the polls closed.


Moreover, Collins said, the Russians “are continuing their efforts to this very day.”

Collins addressed the issue during a stop at Schooner Estates, a senior citizen complex, where she spoke with residents and toured the facility.

On another front, regarding an Associated Press report that a cybersecurity firm has determined the Russians are laying the groundwork for an espionage campaign against the U.S. Senate, Collins said she’s not too worried about Russian hackers.

“I think they’re going to find me very boring,” she said.


Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denied involvement in U.S. elections or campaigns in other democratic countries.

In a televised meeting with Russian newspaper editors Thursday, Putin reportedly insisted, “We haven’t meddled. I want to underline again: It’s sheer nonsense. There has been no collusion, no interference on our part.”

But Collins, a member of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, said the evidence shows otherwise.

“The Russians did actively attempt to interfere with our elections” using a wide variety of tactics, the longtime lawmaker said.

Collins said there is no evidence that Russian hacking changed any votes at the polls, but its efforts weren’t really directed at getting particular candidates into office.

Instead, she said, it aimed at undermining American faith in its democratic system and creating chaos and confusion among the electorate.

Its goal, Collins said, “was to sow the seeds of dissension.”

She said the proof that it didn’t care who won was its secret purchase of social media advertisements that “played both sides,” supporting each candidate in a race while trying to foster division.

Russia was both “for and against” the same candidates at the same time, Collins said.

One consequence of its attempt to cause rifts among American voters, she said, is that people remain more divided than they would otherwise be.

The Russian efforts have been so successful that Russia has tried to follow the same pattern in elections in other countries, including France, Germany and Montenegro, Collins said.

Maine’s other senator, independent Angus King, who also serves on the intelligence panel, has said Russia continues to interfere in elections.

Senator Collins is full of shit and his assertions contradict US intelligence and Republican Senate findings, never mind plain reality anyone half way familiar with Russian politics knows damn well.

Clinton/Obama were top public enemies in Russia ever since the sanctions that knocked that country into a recession. Putin-vision (aka Russian media) was pumping out daily anti-Hillary propaganda for the duration of the elections.

Anything else dupe?

No, they don't. It takes a particular breed of imbecile to ignore as much evidence as you do to come to your inane conclusions.

Which in conclusion means antontoo and the like and the MSM and DNC "Russia Russia Russia" tactics is doing that discord work for the Russians. Funny how the real divisionist are those displacing and deflecting that term onto this administration.

Yep, I’m working for Russians by talking shit about them.

Real smart. Brilliant. You want to hire me to talk shit about you too Einstein?

See now we see your problem, it is your reading comprehension makes what you hear change as it gets through your mental processing.=pass the story down the line syndrom.
I NEVER SAID YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE RUSSIANS, I said you are doing the work (discord) for them. SEE: Your change of words changes the perspective and narrative once again. Being that you do this a lot, you are probably not noticing when your source of info is also abusing subjects through simple word play and similar lacking comprehension.
Once again your ad hominem personal attack replies do not defend your position, it only exposes and proves my commentary even more.

They got to Trey Gowdy too

based on the evidence, Russia had disdain for Secretary Clinton and was motivated in whole or in part by a desire to harm her candidacy or undermine her Presidency had she prevailed.
