This is CNN.. a "news organization" who is fully engaged with creating and purporting outright propaganda. A "news organization" who employs a former govt official who has been caught lying multiple times, involved in probably the biggest political scandal in US history. That said it's no wonder the two here are in cahoots to blame the GOP for the alleged unproven Russian hacking.
This could all be put to rest if the DNC would hand over their servers but for some unknown reason they refuse to? Why is that, what could possibly be on those servers? Or maybe there's nothing, it was an inside job? Or maybe, obama was confident everything they were doing would work to get Hillary elected!? The man was mocking Trump over his concerns of a rigged election and trivialized the Russians involvement. If his admin was so concerned to put "informants" in the Trump campaign why didn't they warn Trump? Why wasn't there a spy... "informant" embedded in Clinton's campaign? Because it's all a lie, all of it is part of some twisted DNC plan to get that unelectable witch into the White House.
What is wrong with Jim Acosta? This guy is driven by pure hate, so much so he is now pushing absolute proven fake news destroying the very minute, if that, credibility he had. Obama did absolutely nothing about Russia meddling. It was actually comical as to what was reported, that obama allegedly said he told Putin to "cut it out"!
Putey Pute must have been shaking in his boots after that threat from Mr Mom Jeans.
With regards to claims of 17 intel agencies agreeing Russia meddled in the election (plastered all over the web), that was retracted!
This too from Clapper...
What would possibly possess Acosta to question it when the New York Times, of all places, admitted the story was not true, only 4 agencies made the assessment? Before Jimmy takes shot at the President, why doesn't he attack one of his own and blast NY Times for pushing lie making everyone look bad?
Frankly, based on his actions, Acosta has come unglued, he is unhinged, demonstrating clear hostility towards Pres Trump and he should have access to the the White House revoked. CNN for that matter should have their access revoked after the lies they're pushing as well. This "news network" no longer produces news. They are propagandists, pushing the progressive narrative with the goal of destroying the President of the United States. Do they ever talk about anything but bash Trump? They have had to retract stories, fire employees, went after the maker of a GIF (more or less blackmailing them), this is not a news organization.
Boycott their advertisers America. It is time to "shut that shit down, no exceptions"!
Fmr CIA Acting Director Michael Morrell appeared on CBS This Morning clearly stated the obama administration was aware, "concerned", about the Russian hacking last summer. So concerned the obama regime directed fmr Director Brennan to address his Russian counterpart apparently issuing a stern "stop it". This was followed up with a firm "cut it out" when obama and Putin met face to face. Putin and the Russians response was surely something in the order of this...
The obama administration "did nothing" and allowed agencies, entities and individuals cyber security to be compromised. That seems to be the answer to every problem we are now facing. Obama did nothing about Russia, Syria, ISIS, North Korea, the economy, national debt, obamacare crashing etc. Why? What does obama, on his way out, gain from leaving a mess, at the time Hillary could have inherited? IMO obama knew Hillary would lose, being such a bad candidate and out of touch, so he just trashed the country on his way out setting Trump up for failure!
The govt released it's intelligence hacking report about Russian interference with the election. A lot of reasons and strong arguments are made for sure but to be clear this cyber war has been going on for years. Why is it this admin did nothing for approx 10 years?
Kellyanne Conway nailed it by pointing out almost every govt agency was attacked but no concern or action was taking leading into 2016 election because the White House, Hillary and DNC thought she would win.
Also the DNC REFUSED to allow the FBI analyze their hacked servers!
There was no indication, nor evidence that voting machines were tampered with either. There are still no smoking guns proving Russia handed the election to Trump only claims they "influenced" the election.
Those in power on the left are in fact suggesting millions of people were on the fence as to who to vote for up until the Podesta and DNC emails were leaked which was enough to swing an election. The countless videos of Trump rallies with thousands if not tens of thousands in attendance vs few hundred or thousand(s) at Hillary rallies are dismissed. Their polls said she would win, polls which were proven to be total trash that probably covered blue states over red. Did Russia make Hillary have a private server that the FB was investigating? Did Russia make Anthony Weiner engage in sexting with minors which resulted in his devices being confiscated and analyzed to show there was info that was not handed over? Where is the proof that Russia handed the election to Trump?
There isn't any and here's why. The one fact, which is no secret, that destroys democrats argument, but honestly is a punch in the gut to Trump, is this....
If Russia had so much influence on the election then why did Hillary W I N the popular vote by 2.87m votes!? Who did Putin influence to vote for Trump if she got more votes!? Democrats, including celebs, parade around daily arguing "the majority spoke", declaring she won! Ok fine in this context yea she did, she got more votes which means there was NO influence on the voters. That said this issue and whining about Russia's involvement is over.
It's only because of Hillary's arrogance and dependence on the media to protect here while ignoring the flyover nation she lost the electoral college. Had Trump won the electoral AND popular vote, maybe democrats would have something to stand on. But facts are facts, people came out to vote, she was a horrible candidate who was running on more or less being obama's third term. I've listed a long list of reasons why she lost that dems refuse to accept. They want to hang on to this Russian boogeyman, they can, but from now on when dems whine about Russia swinging the election point out her popular vote win!
Fmr VP candidate Sen Tim Kaine just cannot accept the fact he and Hillary lost because the American people rejected everything they represented. Instead he, like the majority of dems, is holding onto this conspiracy theory the Russians hack changed millions of voters minds to vote for Trump. He truly believes Trump is a fan and believes in Julian Assange over US intelligence agencies. Whether you like Assange and Wikileaks or not fact is everything they produce has held up. Take note Kaine never denies what was released, instead he attacks the messenger!
To date there is no proof whatsoever Russia had enough influence on the election resulting in Trump's win. This nonsense they were that influential to swing the election is in fact fake news. Kaine and the left suggesting this conspiracy trivializes and disenfranchises each and every American who voted for Trump. Hillary and Kaine lost because Americans made the following (but not limited) choices, decisions and declarations:
decided capitalism (FREEDOM) is more appealing than socialism (soft communism).
chosen common sense and personal responsibility over political correctness.
declared they don’t want a president who has sold this nation out to foreign entities for she and her family’s self enrichment.
decided that their children should not share restrooms/ locker-rooms with those of the opposite sex.
chosen to stop piling onto the national debt, which has already doubled over the last 8 years.
declared to the world they do not want socialized medicine.
declared they will not give up your rights to self-defense.
declared they WANT THE BORDER SECURED.
decided the California model should be not be applied to the entire nation leading to one party rule.
This nonsense that Russia hacked the election and influenced voters has to stop. Talk about fake news being pushed, this is all the obama stream networks are talking about. There is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that Russia influenced the election or hacked voting machines yet the crap media continues with this bs. Furthermore it's insulting to voters and disenfranchises the genuine anger they had with this govt and how bad of a candidate Hillary Clinton was.
Podesta's emails being leaked did not make fly-over states come out and vote for Trump. A poor economy, lack of jobs, skyrocketing healthcare, terrorism on US soil, political correctness being rammed down our throats for a solid 8 years and so on are why Donald Trump was elected. The CRAP media pushing these Russian conspiracy theories are in fact just another example as to why Clinton lost as well! These people are so high and mighty they think they can create a boogie man to make excuses why their candidate lost expecting us to believe it if they tell it long enough!
The 5th column-msm needs to be knocked on their ass and put in their place. FTR we know the Russians are still the bad guys, but you idgets in the msm are giving them a run for the money for the title!
Well just when you thought US-Russian relations couldn't get worse, obama throws more gasoline on the fire on his way out! The diplomats being expelled and new sanctions imposed by the obama regime are in response to Russia hacking the election the regime believes cost Hillary Clinton the White House. Or should we say cost obama his third term to preserve his "legacy"?
This is also obama's way of delegitimizing Trump's win and a slap in the face to voters. The majority of Americans who voted couldn't careless about what Wikileaks was releasing. When news hit Trump had won, I posted a long list of reasons why Hillary lost, NONE of them had to do with Russia's alleged interference with the election.
Someone should remind the regime the FBI was investigating Clinton's email shenanigans before we got wind of John Podesta's emails from Wikileaks. Facts never seem to matter to progres.. communists. Obama would prefer starting a fight with Russia than take responsibility this election and Clinton's loss was a referendum on him and everything they stand for.
Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election. These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior.
All Americans should be alarmed by Russia’s actions. In October, my Administration publicized our assessment that Russia took actions intended to interfere with the U.S. election process. These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government. Moreover, our diplomats have experienced an unacceptable level of harassment in Moscow by Russian security services and police over the last year. Such activities have consequences. Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response.
I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners. Using this new authority, I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is designating two Russian individuals for using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information. The State Department is also...more
Today, President Obama authorized a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election in 2016. Russia’s cyber activities were intended to influence the election, erode faith in U.S. democratic institutions, sow doubt about the integrity of our electoral process, and undermine confidence in the institutions of the U.S. government. These actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Sanctioning Malicious Russian Cyber Activity
In response to the threat to U.S. national security posed by Russian interference in our elections, the President has approved an amendment to Executive Order 13964. As originally issued in April 2015, this Executive Order created a new, targeted authority for the U.S. government to respond more effectively to the most significant of cyber threats, particularly in situations where malicious cyber actors operate beyond the reach of existing authorities. The original Executive Order focused on cyber-enabled malicious activities that:
Harm or significantly compromise the provision of services by entities in a critical infrastructure sector;...more
Cavuto got into a heated battle with CA elector Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's daughter, over the fake news that Russia interfered with the election handing it to Trump. She and other electors are demanding access to a CIA report on Russian hacking before the Electoral College meets to vote for POTUS Dec 19th. To date there is no evidence proving the DNC being hacked flipped the election for Trump. Let's assume they in fact have done all the hacking claimed. If you weren't on Facebook or twitter you barely heard about any of this as the major networks did everything possible to PROTECT Hillary Clinton! True or not Russia hacking the DNC had little influence on the election. The fact Clinton was the WORST candidate, possibly the most corrupt in US history continues to be ignored by all parties on the left melting down.
When the younger Pelosi was asked the direct question as to "what do you want electors to do with that information", she refused to answer. Instead she stated she needed to see it before she could comment on it! Where have we heard this line of bs before!? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, she is just like her mother. No one seems to be paying attention to the next generation of progressives coming up who will be far worse than the current ones in power!
What you have here folks is a soft coup d'etat by democrats to undermine the will of the American voters and have electors change their votes to hold onto power. They have been melting down for over a month looking for any angle to get Clinton into the White House.
Word to the wise democrats. If... IF by some act of God you are actually able to turn the election over at the Electoral College you do understand there would literally be blood in the streets!? No one is making a threat here or anything of the like... the American people would be so enraged that you elitists overthrew them there would be violence coast-to-coast! So by all means if you want to start a civil war go for it! Just understand it will be open season on you!
Again STR IS NOT threatening anyone, just making a clear observation based on the current atmosphere of the American people. Trumps election is proof the people have had it with elites on BOTH sides.
"We did not see anything that amounted to altering ballot counts or degrading the ability to report election results, nothing out of the ordinary.”
Fake news that the Russians interfered with the election should be put to rest at this point, especially when the DHS Chief is saying there's "no evidence"! After a few recounts Trump has in fact picked up more votes. Hillary lost because she was an absolute horrible candidate, possibly the most corrupt politician to ever run for president. She and the DNC hacked emails were ignored by the fake news media. Unless voters were glued to Twitter and Facebook it was presented like conspiracy. The left is giving far too much credit to make another excuse for Hillary's loss and more importantly delegitimize Trump's administration.
Where were the democrats throwing a fit now when all govt agencies were being hacked since 2012?
Why do they care now, wanting independent investigations, but didn't prior to election day?
Clinton IGNORED the flyover states of the US, relying on progressive run states like NY and CA to hand her the election. Her arrogance and IGNORANCE over the avg voter is why she lost, and frankly this election shows exactly why we have and need the Electoral College!
If Russia had so much influence on the election then why did Hillary W I N the popular vote by 2.87m votes!? Who did Putin influence to vote for Trump if she got more votes!? Democrats, including
