    The Democrats and their media have a new attack on Trump since the recount not only failed but pointed out some questionable results in Democrat counties so now their new attack is Russia did it. Russia in general and Putin in particular is the new Boogeyman and the monster hiding under the bed. This hoax too is going up in flames as the truth comes out. I wonder what they will try next.



    "The hack into the Democrat National Committee was the beginning of the end for the Democrat establishment. It exposed the establishment as conspiring against Bernie Sanders, which led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for ethics concerns (naturally, she was hired by the Clinton campaign the next day).

    It also revealed that Donna Brazile had abused her position as a CNN contributor to leak debate questions to Hillary Clinton on numerous occasions ahead of her debates with Bernie Sanders. Brazile had to resign from CNN as a result….. for ethics concerns.
    The left quickly played the blame game, placing the blame on “Russian hackers.” Now the liberal media is running a story wall-to-wall about an alleged “CIA assessment” that shows Russia tried to help Trump win.
    Apparently we’re supposed to believe that the truth ceases to become truth if it’s of Russian origin. Bad news for the Democrats in that case: it wasn’t the Russians who are to blame, it’s a man within the fold who became disillusioned.
    In early November Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told reporter John Pilger in an exclusive interview that it wasn’t Russia who hacked into the DNC and Clinton staff emails. Assange went on to say he “felt sorry” for Hillary Clinton.

    But now, a British insider is saying the same thing as Assange. Check this out:
    Today former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray, who is a close associate of Julian Assange, said he has met the DNC leaker and he’s not Russian.
    The Kremlin has rejected the hacking accusations. A second senior official cited by the Washington Post conceded that intelligence agencies did not have specific proof that the Kremlin was “directing” the hackers, who were said to be one step removed from the Russian government.
    Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, who is a close associate of Assange, called the CIA claims “bulls**t”, adding: “They are absolutely making it up.”
    “I know who leaked them,” Murray said. “I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things."

    This guy supposedly flew to D.C. to meet the leak. Should be easy enough to at least verify if he flew on that date, checked into a hotel, etc.

    If only we had, what's that profession that used to investigate political corruption? Oh yeah... investigative reporters. Too bad it's an extinct profession.

    This guy is the source whereas the CIA source remains anonymous. Add to this the fact that Julian backs this source up and it's fairly bullet proof

    And why won't he release the leakers identity, since we know now he/she is of British nationality, and should be arrested by British authorities.

    At this point, we should not be concerned whether or not Putin was in play, maybe it was a farce, maybe it wasn't, what matters is that the leaker is brought to justice, along with the confiscation of WikiLeaks, and sending Assange back to Sweden to receive punishment by the Swedish Government. It's the only legit thing left to do.

    Only a really empty-headed liberal would think this story is Russians hacking. Good Grief! They (liberals) are the kinds and queens of fake news.

    The leaked should get a medal for exposing the corruption and collision in both the DNC and their media. Truth is a good thing and truth effects on this election is a great thing.

    The source at wiki I was referring too is the subject if the OP. The CIA source is anonymous and is attempting to speak for the entire organization. This new unfounded attack is quickly unravelling

    I must admit that in my mind, a named news source always has more credibility than an unnamed news source. An unnamed source has no responsibility to the veracity of what's being reported, where the named source can at least be held accountable. If the intelligence people have any real evidence, now would be the time to provide it.

    you guys are the ones claiming a nuclear power are the ones behind so before we get into a war with a nuclear power we expect one democrat to step forward with the evidence. But hey remember when tou guys ripped on bush for starting wars? Guess you democrats were war mongers all along. Id bring more to wara with russia than your feces though.

    Hmmm, let's see. The CIA's job is deception yet 10 years of wikileaks with nothing ever proven wrong.

    Group Using Celebrities to Urge Electors to Vote Against Trump Has Foreign-Registered Website.

    An image on the Unite for America Facebook page shows the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin and asks, “Is this your president?”

    Despite the group’s reference to alleged foreign influence in the presidential election, a trace of the group’s URL shows that its website was registered in a foreign country.

    Too much of what's being reported is attributed to anonymous sources ... The Obama administration, and MSM are both quite vocal of their opposition of Trump and the GOP. So why do these sources remain anonymous?

    Yes, it was a leak, not a hack. That was clear from the start.

    That idea is corrupt in itself. Next time someone commits a mass shooting, lets let him go scot free if we are to go by your logic.

    Hey, its only fair game. They release a bunch of personal info about Clinton, they sacrifice their right to privacy.

    Exposing corruption and collusion is the same thing as a mass shooting? You'll have to expound on that bit of "logic".

    A, Primaries weren't "fixed". Sanders lost. Yes the DNC preferred Clinton but that's not "fixing primaries".

    B. Define that info however you like but it CAME from the Russians who used there internet trolls to pound it (some on this very site)

    "In its recent leak of 20,000 DNC emails from January 2015 to May 2016, DNC staff discuss how to deal with Bernie Sanders’ popularity as a challenge to Clinton’scandidacy. Instead of treating Sanders as a viable candidate for the Democratic ticket, the DNC worked against him and his campaign to ensure Clinton received the nomination."
