Here's the One Fact That Destroys Democrats Argument Russia Helped Trump Win

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!

Obama Admin to Expel 35 Russian Diplomats, Close 2 Compounds

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.

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release                                                 December 29, 2016
Statement by the President on Actions in Response to Russian Malicious Cyber Activity and Harassment

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

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release                                                 December 29, 2016
FACT SHEET: Actions in Response to Russian Malicious Cyber Activity and Harassment

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

Obama Admin Plans Retaliation Over Russian Hacks

Example # 12,890 of obama lighting more fires around the world, this one as he is on his way out. He threw Israel under the bus and now he is picking a fight, escalating a cyber war, with Putin, who is pals with China and Iran that would love to hit the US. Surely this site cannot be the only one taking notice of the trouble his worship is starting that will be dumped on Trump's lap Jan 20th, 2017?! Obama is deliberately creating problems with the hopes Trump fails when he takes over so lil barry and the democrat communist party can pounce on him and his supporters.

There was no interference with the election results. Hillary Clinton was a horrible candidate, out of touch with middle America, epitomizing DC elitism, riddled with corruption. It's insulting and disenfranchises every single American voter to suggest Russia had any influence on this election and is just another example of the detest this admin has for the American people.

WH Continues to Blame Russia For Clinton's Election Loss

Let's assume it's 100% true, Russia did everything the left is in total meltdown over. The fact remains Hillary Clinton had poor ratings among democrat voters. NO ONE LIKES HER but hardcore progressive radicals, and the communists in Hollywood.

Russia DID NOT put a private server in Hillary's home, and then a bathroom closet off site, to conduct official govt business that compromised US national security.
Russia also did not make the FBI launch an investigation into her negligent handling of emails and govt documents, again we'll assume Russia DID expose it. This situation was bad the FBI is still investigating thanks to her aides, Huma Abedin, ex-husband to be Anthony Weiner.
Russia did not make Hillary use her position in the State Dept along with she and her husbands foundation as a front to launder money in a pay to play scam.
MOST IMPORTANTLY Russia did not make Hillary ignore middle America/ flyover states, where she had a Z E R O ground game but dumped millions in solid blue states to lock up the popular vote. Trump was at least flying to all these states to do 3 rallies a day.
Russia did not make Hillary call half the nation deplorable!
Russia did not make the crap media protect her at every opportunity from bad press, while they trashed Trump 24/7!
Russia did not force obamacare onto the nation where premiums doubled before this election.
Russia did not blame a video no one watched for the attack on Benghazi that left 4 Americans, one a US Ambassador, dead.

The list of Clinton faults goes on and on. Whatever the left wants to tie Russia to it was not enough to sway voters as most knew nothing about the majority of scandals let alone "Russia hacking the Clinton's and DNC".

Hillary Clinton lost the election because she was by far the worst, most corrupt presidential candidate in US history! She is disliked by almost everyone except the radical progressive elitists. She was a symbol.. she epitomized everything the American people hate about politicians and the govt!

Yes Josh, nobody in WH thought any of this is funny because you all know you're all dirty and feared Russia would expose your corruption! We the people don't think any of this is a joke but this regime suggesting Russia handed Trump the election is disingenuous. You are discrediting every single American who voted for Trump and suggesting they voted for him because of Russia's activities.

Stop blaming the boogie-man for your failures.

Mr Guam Might Tip Over Wants DHS Oversight of Elections

Hank Johnson, aka Mr Guam Might Tip Over, is the last guy who should be making recommendations to grant more power to the Executive Branch (fyi DHS falls under the Executive Branch) to have oversight of elections. This is beyond dangerous because we know how things done with good intentions get perverted and abused. Any question on elections results people will point the finger of blame at the current POTUS seeking re-election or exiting trying to choose their successor. No sorry we don't need a govt agency incapable of protecting the border, vetting immigrants and refugees to take over the election system. Furthermore, DHS Sec Jeh Johnson admitted there is no credible evidence of a threat to our election system, just a lot of talk. Yes, this nation is under cyberattack daily but maybe the best solution to this threat is to go back to old low-tech election system.

Newt Gingrich: Sony Hacking is an Act of War...

... We Need to Hunt Them Down

The FBI has confirmed the hack has originated from N Korea and Sony bowed down to them by pulling "The Interview". Newt Gingrich is correct, this is an act of war and more or less a surrender, the first defeat in the cyber war waged against America. What should be more concerning to all Americans is how this surrender by Sony has set precedent to all our enemies around the world that all one has to do is hack an American company's network, make some idle threats invoking 9/11 and "we" will back down.

There is only one thing to do to counteract this threat: "The Interview" must be "leaked" onto the web where it will be viewed EVERYWHERE rendering N Korea defenseless. The studio has already "scrapped" the movie so why not at this point!? Even Mitt Romney called for the movie to be released for free while asking for $5 donations to fight ebola!

.@SonyPictures don’t cave, fight: release @TheInterview free online globally. Ask viewers for voluntary $5 contribution to fight #Ebola.

What I am suggesting is in fact a form of Guerrilla Warfare, after all remember where you are! It's not just people getting out of their comfort zone and doing the things that are uncomfortable in Saving the Republic, this philosophy goes for corporations too who are threatened. We may disagree with Sony's politics or those of their actors, executives etc but threats made to them are threats made to Americans. We must stand firm and resist terrorism in any and all forms even with those we disagree with!

May I suggest a Twitter campaign (#SonyReleaseTheInterviewForFree) to encourage Sony to release "The Interview" on the web for free?! And that goes for Seth Rogan, James Franco and the cast & crew of the movie. Heck if U2 can afford to give an album away I'm sure Sony and those who made this movie could bite the bullet to show "we" will not be bullied, intimidated or terrorized by rogue nations!
