Russia's involvement in U.S. election was personally headed by Putin and Trump

[LaydeeBug]

Putin selected which material to leak and when, creating a narrative that caused a disruption within the Democratic Party—which the press eagerly followed and elaborated, on release by release. But Putin may have had help in that planning.

Donald Trump denied Russian involvement despite being briefed on the evidence multiple times. Now the White House indicates that Trump may have already known Russia was involved, and that his request for Putin to hack Hillary Clinton’s email was far from a joke.

[First Speaker]

1. In other words, treason...

...my God. A literal traitor is about to become President, and everyone seems fine with it. What the fuck is wrong with this country?

[LaydeeBug]

3. This is easily the biggest story of our lifetime. Seriously. nt

[zonkers]

5. biggest. biggest.

[JenniferJuniper]

27. Meh, says the mainstream media.

[LaydeeBug]

30. Yep. Coups are good for ratings, don't you know?

[NewJeffCT]

39. Only coups involving people good for TV ratings

Mike Pence orchestrating a coup would never have work.

[Fast Walker 52]

61. it's incredibly aggravating... the problem once a president has been chosen, the press just seems to

fall in line and not undermine his authority in anyway, because fucking America can't have doubts about its leadership or have a president with NO FUCKING CREDIBILITY.

[LaydeeBug]

62. Because they have framed the narrative to demand the press is liberal

It skews where the middle is when both sides get to have it both ways.

[adigal]

37. I know.....even if he wasnt in on it, he is trying to,cover it up

For the first time in my life, i think we have a pretty weak system of government. With Repubs in both houses of Congress and the executive branch, who holds the President accountanle?

[LaydeeBug]

38. It's like they're pretending the clock has run out, so...shrug shoulders

Like...'hone your message' and 'better luck next time, we won't steal it'

[Fast Walker 52]

60. yeah...

[triron]

8. I feel like I'm

living in the Twilight Zone.

[hamsterjill]

66. Oh, me too!

I keep expecting Rod Serling to step out at any minute and start a narrative.

Trouble is, it hasn't happened yet.

[True_Blue]

17. Incredible isn't it?

I remember a time when republicans feared a Russian takeover. Now they're perfectly ok with it.

[LaydeeBug]

67. Truly...and they're not only ok with it...they're HELPING them

We will start hearing about globalization soon

[libtodeath]

2. That madman should be in cuffs and ankle chains.

[LaydeeBug]

69. Instead Lady Liberty is wearing them.

[UCmeNdc]

4. Correct Trump coordinated the attack with Putin.

Ask Roger Stone....
Rudy Giuliani has knowledge too.....

[LaydeeBug]

7. FTR: Roger Stone is a swinger and Rudy Giuliani fucked his cousin repeatedly.

I am just stating facts that may be inconvenient for the KGOP and THEIR stated values.

[Grey Lemercier]

32. So, One Day, Roger Stone Brings Jeffrey Toobin to a Swingers Club

[LaydeeBug]

[triron]

22. Plausible

[bettyellen]

24. Some idiots think it's still socialist and that sounds awesome to them...

[flamingdem]

23. KGB! USA!

KGB! us... sigh

[TrekLuver]

25. I was trolling the Daily Caller...posting outrageous comments such as

it's Us, Trump and Putin against the world....and...."I hope Trump nukes North Korea"...people were liking my treasonous comments.

[Achilleaze]

26. Trump & Republican traitors are ILLEGITIMATE

They are freakin anti-American subverters...

[MFM008]

28. smells like

WATERGATE.

[NewJeffCT]

40. This is a lot more serious than Watergate

in the grand scheme of things

[ffr]

29. Election stolen by proxy by a hostile foreign power. Good job GOP & "Never HRC" voters!

You were hoodwinked into believing that popular senator & popular SOS Hillary Clinton was unpopular and unlikable. We'll, now we're all paying the price for your selfishness and stupidity!

CONGRATULATIONS!

[Beartracks]

31. I took his hack-her-emails "joke" to be....

... one of those cases where someone giddily has trouble keeping a big secret, and lets slip with a little taunting hint. The secret being, of course, that the Russians already were doing that very thing.

Same with his constant claims that the election was rigged...

==============

[triron]

36. knr

[UCmeNdc]

41. If you were Putin what would you want Trump to do?

A. Destroy the CIA!!!!

What is Trump going to do?

A. Destroy the CIA!!!!!

[meow2u3]

43. Trump can try to destroy the CIA, but he won't be successful

President or no president.

[LaydeeBug]

45. I think PUTUS wants the Ukraine for starters. nt

[LaydeeBug]

42. I can't be overstated. nt

[triron]

44. Yep!

[Madam45for2923]

46. I think this story is going to get bigger!

[LaydeeBug]

47. I knew in my BONES when DU was hacked...

something was up...

and they fucked with down ballot stuff too

[Madam45for2923]

48. Yes! DU being hacked so we could not compare notes on election day.

[LaydeeBug]

51. Yep..and I think they hacked our actual equipment

Really. Truly. This was a coordinated effort.

6 'magic bullet theory' paths pulled off? And the *perfect* storm...6 times?

Down ballot too.

Remember this was a blue tsunami.

[dem4decades]

56. Was there ever an investigation

as to who hacked DU? "Trump supporters" now has many definitions, some down right chilling.

[LaydeeBug]

57. Not that I know of...and welcome to DU nt

[dem4decades]

65. Thank You nt

[uponit7771]

49. +1

[triron]

50. +1

[Charles Bukowski]

52. Makes Watergate look like nothing.

How is this not an impeachable offense?

[LaydeeBug]

59. Not an office holder yet? How can we impeach someone who holds no office?

[Charles Bukowski]

63. Obviously I meant impeached once he's sworn in.

Frankly, if he colluded with Russia to hack the DNC, he should be arrested right now.

[triron]

53. kick again

[triron]

55. kick again

[hollowdweller]

64. Maybe this is why Obama is not worried.

He knows it's gonna come out.

[LaydeeBug]

68. I certainly hope so.

[red dog 1]

70. Kick!

Why didn't President Obama allow DNI to brief the 56 electors who wanted to be briefed about the Russian interference in the election?

(From December 16, 2016)
NO INTEL BRIEFING FOR ELECTORS, DNI SAYS
http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/16/politics/no-intel-briefing-for-electors-dni-says/


President Obama said "NO" to Intel briefing for the 56 electors who wanted the briefing.

Although it would have been a "long shot"..it is possible that at least 37 electors pledged to Trump might have cast their votes for HRC, if they had been given the briefing.

(In that case, we would be celebrating the presidency of Hillary Clinton tomorrow, instead of that child-raper)

[bettyellen]

71. Anyone who doesn't see how big this was is blind.
