    Just pointing out the obvious, one has to wonder if Trump could win any election without Russian assistance

    Now let's talk about keeping our noses out of other elections. Obama saw fit to meddle in Israel's election but I guess that's okay him being the Messiah and all.


    Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu
    "The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.

    Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

    In one stunning finding, the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Department’s top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them."

    US funds aided 2015 campaign to oust Netanyahu, Senate probe finds
    The US government supported a group that tried to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year to the tune of nearly $350,000, or NIS 1.3 million, a Senate inquiry published Tuesday found, though it cleared the State Department of any wrongdoing.

    The bipartisan probe found no illegal activity in funding the OneVoice group, which became the V15 campaign to oust Netanyahu, though its report chided the State Department for having failed to prevent state funds being used, albeit legally and indirectly, to influence an allied country’s internal political process.


    According to the report, authored by the permanent subcommittee on investigations of the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the State Department gave grants totaling $349,276 to One Voice’s Israeli and Palestinian branches “to support peace negotiations” over a 14-month grant period that ended in November 2014.

    Netanyahu pollster: Obama role in election larger than reported
    President Obama's role during the Israeli elections was larger than reported, according to a pollster for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.

    "What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu," John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis's "The Cats Roundtable" radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.

    "There was money moving that included taxpayer U.S. dollars, through non-profit organizations. And there were various liberal groups in the United States that were raising millions to fund a campaign called V15 against Prime Minister Netanyahu," McLaughlin said.

    He noted an effort to oust Netanyahu was guided by former Obama political operative Jeremy Bird and that V15, or Victory 15, ads hurt Netanyahu in the polls. McLaughlin said the Israeli leader rebounded after delivering a speech to Congress early this month, prompting more critical ads.

    The "you" here ain't Democrats, not the DNC, rather Trump appointed people, no Comey, no McCabe, no Strzok and Page, no "deep state," all your usual deflections to defend Trump are irrelevant, this is Trump people telling Congress that the Russians are already meddling in the 2020 election to aid Trump's reelection

    Another one, it ain't about Obama, I understand not being able to use the usual Obama/Hillary "whataboutisms" makes it difficult for you, but this has absolutely nothing to do with Obama, these are Trump appointed people telling Congress that the Russians are again meddling in the next election aiding Trump, there is no Comey, no McCabe, no Strzok and Page, no "deep state," all your usual deflections to defend Trump are irrelevant, this is Trump people telling Congress that the Russians are already at it in the 2020 election to aid Trump's reelection

    It is actually about Obama. He failed to stop hacking even after being warned about it before the Russian election because it was impossible. He said so. Nemesis asked for the source and I provided. I know it's an inconvenient truth but it's fact. Obama failed and the Democrats want to shovel it under the rug while simultaneously hammering Trump for it.

    Wow after 911 did you look for reasons it was really our fault? Like you’re doing now? We deserved it right? Chickens coming home to roost?

    What do you have against mature, intelligent discussion? What does a person's sexual identity have to do with their political inexperience and lack of suitability for even one of his jobs at this point?

    Wait a minute, so now acknowledgement that Russia is again involved in our elections and working to help Trump is now Obama's fault? That might be the greatest stretch of an Obama "whataboutism" I've seen yet

    Apparently CNN doesn't report all things Trump does against Russia?

    Don't get excited. I was probably reacting like rabid lefties when a conservative brings up Bootygig being the mayor of a
    failing city in Indiana.

    The Dems have not even nominated a candidate and already they are trying to develop an alibi for losing. Great humor IMHO.

    This from a bunch of people with a history of shenanigans in their own primaries.:roflol:

    Yeah, those sanctions must have really hurt given that they are trying to get him elected again.

    As opposed to the sanctions Øbama put on Russia more than a month after Hillary lost.
