Full transcript: FBI Director testifies on Russian interference in 2016 election

So We Find Out FBI Has Been Investigating Trump Since July


"The Russian active measures campaign may have begun as early as 2015
, when Russian intelligence services launched a series of spear fishing attacks designed to penetrate the computers of a broad array of Washington based Democratic and Republican party organizations, think tanks and other entities. This continued at least through the winter of 2016.

While at first the hacking may have been intended solely for the collection of foreign intelligence. In mid-2016 the Russians weapon eyes the stolen data and used platforms established by the Intel services, such as D.C. leaks in existing third-party channels like WikiLeaks to dump the documents. The stolen documents were almost uniformly damaging to the candidate Putin despised, Hillary Clinton. And by forcing her campaign to constantly respond to the daily drip of disclosures, the releases greatly benefited Donald Trump's campaign.

None of these facts is seriously in question. And they're reflected in the consensus conclusion of our intelligence agencies.

We will never know whether the Russian intervention was determinative in such a close election. Indeed, it is unknowable in a campaign to which so many small changes could have dictated a different result. More importantly, and for the purposes of our investigation, it simply does not matter.

What does matter is this, the Russians successfully meddled in our democracy and our intelligence agencies have concluded they will do so again. Ours is not the first democracy to be attacked by the Russians in this way. Russian intelligence has been simile interfering in the internal and political affairs of our European and other allies for decades.


What is striking here is the degree to which the Russians were willing to undertake such an audacious and risky action against the most powerful nation on Earth. That ought to be a warning to us that if we thought that the Russians would not dare to so blatantly interfere in our affairs, we were wrong.

And if we do not do our very best to understand how the Russians accomplished this unprecedented attack on our democracy and what we need to do to protect ourselves in the future, we will only have ourselves to blame.

We know a lot about the Russian operation, about the way they amplified the damage their hacking and dumping of stolen documents was causing through the use of slick propaganda like R.T., the Kremlin's media arm. But there is a lot we don't know.

Most important, we do not yet know whether the Russians have the help of U.S. citizens including people associated with the Trump campaign. Many of the Trump's campaign personnel, including the president himself, have ties to Russia and Russian interests. This is of course no crime. On the other hand, if the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime, it would also represent one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history."




What we know about the 21 states targeted by Russian hackers

10 Months After Election Day, Feds Tell States More About Russian Hacking
1. trump is *not* under investigation. please show me a valid link that says otherwise.
2. they meddled because we let them. if we'd quit hating each other like they're pushing us to do, they lose a lot of power. the majority of the power they have is given to them by people believing we're all that different and need to kill each other. they were not wrong in that simple trolling could take us down. it has. not out yet but we can see it from here.
3. they made a lot of crap up also. called trolling. as for hacking - maybe. but you don't seem concerned at all in what they found in the hack. also - spear fishing isn't really a hack as much as a stupidity test. now - are you concerned with the activity they showed us we're doing to each other or is that ok still? i agree bad hackers - grrr. but about what they found? they shouldn't be punished alone.
4. hillary, obama, and almost any state politician has ties to russia. this is the most base, generic line of crap people throw out. HE'S GOT TIES TO RUSSIA!!!!! well so the fuck did hillary as she got $500k to speak over there and trade uranium.

this "one sided anger" is complete bullshit.
 
Manafort and Gates were indicted for things unrelated to the campaign and Trump, Popadopolous got some dates mixed up and Mueller went for his throat. Even Comey testified to congress that Flynn wasn't intentionally deceptive, Mueller was hearing nothing of that and bankrupted Flynn and threatened his son to get his plea. Still none of that was related to Trump or the campaign. As for the Russians, the AAG said in both indictments no Americans were willing participants.

Of course you're free to believe the fairy tales being spun by your commiecrat comrades and the BS MSM, but that doesn't change the facts.


.
You're such a fuckin' liar!

Richard Pinedo: California man convicted February 2, 2018 for helping the indicted Russian individuals and companies in their meddling in the Presidential election. Pinedo helped the Russians use dummy bank accounts to work around the security of companies like PayPal. Pinedo helped the Russians appear online as if they were Americans.

In fact, you're probably not even an American yourself. You're probably a Russian with a fake Twitter account?
 
They claim is that Trump colluded, and NOT A SINGLE indictment makes that claim NONE NADA ZIPPO.
Not yet.

I bet you don't see anything wrong with yesterday's meeting with Putin, either? How in the fuck were you let in our nations military? Is your first name Benedict?



That he, and many others, don't want a new Cold War, is not evidence of wrong doing, you moron.

Which, considering the last 50 years, was like pissing in the ocean.


Anyone that thinks Russian Trolls could be any more divisive than American trolls, is a fool.

a troll is a troll. they post whatever they need to in order to keep stupid going on and on. i looked at a lot of the ads from the original source. i did find a few pro trump ones in there sure.

and a few trump sucks. hillary rocks, hillary sucks. whitey is keeping blacks down, blacks can't be trusted. atheists vs. christianity, left vs right, pro choice vs. anti abortion - they hit the big groups and poured gas on both sides. and lord all mighty it worked. look at us hating each other and looking for more reasons to hate by the minute.

so if someone is sitting around spouting out hate, maybe they have a point. but it's been going on so long no one will care much longer.

I didn't notice any significant increase in assholes on the internet this last election.
 
A few years ago, Republicans would hammer Democrats for being soft on countries who attacked America.

Today they rationalize it.
Some maybe. Others, like myself, recognize that this nonsense is counterproductive. No one is going to jail because they were online trolls. They will never be brought to justice making this a big damn waste of my tax dollars. Also of note is the hypocrisy of Americans who ignore the fact that WE DO THIS VERY SAME SHIT TO OTHER NATIONS

This isn't about "trolls."

A foreign government attacked our democratic institutions in an attempt to damage our country.

But because the Republican candidate unexpectedly won - and that candidate is deified almost as a God by his base - Republicans are attacking the people who are investigating those who attacked our country.

A year ago, Trump's worshippers were saying that Russia didn't attack us, that this was all #fakenews. They aren't saying that anymore. Or at least most of them aren't.
Whadda load of crap
 
Be VERY specific and cite for us the conviction on collusion or conspiracy.
The indictment states on July 27, 2016, Russian operatives hacked Clinton's emails.

"...on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign.”

Later that day in a press conference, Trump said...

On July 27, at a press conference, seemingly out of the blue, Trump said: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” referring to the so-called “missing” emails from the private server Hillary Clinton used while serving as secretary of state.
25 Russians have been indicted on charges of interfering with our election.

Twenty-five Russians have been indicted for helping to elect Donald Trump. Twelve of them are active Russian intelligence agents. Thirteen of them worked for something called the “Internet Research Agency LLC,” described in the indictment handed down in February as “a Russian organization engaged in operations to interfere with elections and political processes.”
Right after Trump made that statement to Russia hoping they would find those emails, that's exactly what they went out and did.

Clearly, the indictment issued by Special Counsel Robert Mueller yesterday is saying that right after Trump called on “Russia” to “find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” the Russians did just that. They went looking for those emails by going after Clinton’s personal email server.
That is collusion!

As far as the convictions...

Papadopoulos was indicted and pled guilty to the charge of lying to the FBI when he was questioned about the meetings he had with Mifsud and Russians.

Mike Flynn convicted (by guilty plea) on December 1, 2017 for lying to the FBI and regarding contacts and communications with Russians on behalf of the Trump transition team.

Richard Pinedo: California man convicted February 2, 2018 for helping the indicted Russian individuals and companies in their meddling in the Presidential election.

Alex Van der Zwaan: The son-in-law of a Russian oligarch pleads guilty on February 20, 2018 for lying to the FBI regarding his communications with Rick Gates and Paul Manafort on behalf of pro-Soviet elements in the Ukraine.

Rick Gates: As widely anticipated, on February 23, 2018 Rick Gates strikes a plea agreement and pleads guilty to multiple counts for conspiracy to defraud the United States and making false statements.
As far as Manafort's indictment...

Paul Manafort: Indicted with Rick Gates on October 30, 2017 on charges of conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and multiple counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. The indictment alleges Manafort and Gates acted as agents for pro-Russian parties and elements of the Ukrainian government (tied to former pro-Soviet Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych).
No evidence my ass!

The indictment states on July 27, 2016, Russian operatives hacked Clinton's emails.

Clinton still had classified material on her email server, more than 3 years after she left office?
Why isn't she in jail yet?
 
And no American cooperation.


.
So what are you saying, that Manafort, Gates and Popadopolous are Dutch?


Manafort and Gates were indicted for things unrelated to the campaign and Trump, Popadopolous got some dates mixed up and Mueller went for his throat. Even Comey testified to congress that Flynn wasn't intentionally deceptive, Mueller was hearing nothing of that and bankrupted Flynn and threatened his son to get his plea. Still none of that was related to Trump or the campaign. As for the Russians, the AAG said in both indictments no Americans were willing participants.

Of course you're free to believe the fairy tales being spun by your commiecrat comrades and the BS MSM, but that doesn't change the facts.
More Russia Limbaugh Lies.
 
From what has been reported, the DNC never allowed the FBI to have access to their servers...so how exactly did the FBI find out who did what?
Reported by the lying Right-wing hate media and sociopathic lying scum Donnie Dirt Bag, you mean, but the facts say the Mueller must have something, and that something sounds a lot like a server. Why would Mueller reveal what he has to satisfy you losers when he has not leaked anything else????

Treason.

Be specific.
 
This shit happens in every single election. It only became a 4 alarm fire because Trump won.

Russias goal is to sow distrust among the American people with regard to our political system.
THEY SUCCEEDED in large part because of people like you.

Espionage is not new to the Trump presidency and suggesting it is now suddenly a problem when little has changed is hysterical

Putin didnt care who won..so long as the loser attacked the US from within, Fascist theory is that democratic elections are a waste of time and lead to weak and corrupt governments. He lets Hillary say it for him these days.
BULLSHIT A bi partisan group of congressmen said THERE IS NO DOUBT that russians hacked our elections to AIDE TRUMP

Let me guess, that information was presented by Clapper, Brennan, and Rosenstein.

What exactly Russian hacked? Ballot machines? Voting registers?
POLITICS
Republicans Call Trump Summit Remarks ‘Shameful’ and ‘Bizarre’
Trump Calls Mueller Probe ‘Disaster’ While Standing Next to Putin
Trump's Refusal to Condemn Putin on Election Meddling Sparks Outrage
Trump Risks It All … For What?

I don't see the answer to my question.

Let me repeat it: What exactly Russians hacked?

You never will get an answer. I’ve been asking monthly for 14 months or so. I don’t expect an answer but I enjoy humiliating liberals.
