Everything you're posting is fucking deranged. You lied about Benghazi, you lied about Obama denying the hacking, and now you're lying again. That's what happens when you dumb yourself down with fake news from rightwing sources.Obama also knew about what the Russians were supposedly doing and yet did nothing about it. It was reported that he as so worried about working out the details with Vlad on his plan to invade Syria that he did not address it because the talks might have fallen apart...and the last thing Obama wanted was his plan to drag the US into an Un-Constitutional, Un-Authorized war to fall apart....LOLOLSo Obama lied again.That's your theory, however there are a few points you seem to have left out of it:
1.) There is no definitive proof that the Russians interfered to "favor one candidate over another", nobody has even come up with a plausible motive as to why the Russians would have preferred one of the two major party candidates and it still hasn't been established beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the Russian Government behind it.
2.) Foreign governments and related organizations have been engaged in public opinion manipulation pursuant to elections for decades and we've been doing the same thing to other countries for decades.
3.) The current allegations against the Russian Government amount to the leaking of information garnered from "stolen" emails and disseminating "fake news"; which is no different than the two major U.S. Political Parties and their legions of loyal lemmings do to each other all the time.
Even if the allegations are 100% accurate there was no "assault" on our election system, it would amount to manipulation of public opinion which hardly an unprecedented occurrence.
IMHO If it goes into the 2018 cycle and remains the primary (one might credibly argue "sole") focus of the Democratic campaign efforts it's likely to do them more harm than good since negative campaigning tends to suppress turnout which generally isn't good for Democrats not to mention it's likely to galvanize "Trump Voters" to turn out.
"But in recent weeks, news has emerged that suggests Russian efforts to meddle with the election went far beyond influencing media coverage, and may have targeted voting systems as well. Last week, The Intercept reported that Russian military intelligence had executed a cyberattack on a U.S. voting software company. (The source who allegedly leaked the highly classified intelligence report was subsequently arrested.) Now, Bloomberg reports that the Russian incursions went even deeper than previously thought. According to three people with direct knowledge of the investigation into the cyberattacks, Russia may have infiltrated voter databases and software systems in 39 U.S. states during the 2016 election—almost twice as many states as previously reported."
Russia May Have Hacked Election Systems in 39 States
Obama Bombshell: Russia Did Not Hack Our Elections
BUH-BAM!
GAME, SET, AND MATCH...
You dumbass cons are a fucking riot.
Obama never said Russia didn't hack our elections.
He said they didn't tamper with votes at the polls. You read a fake headline and that's all it takes to render you mentally helpless.
