WikiLeaks offers to 'authenticate' US intelligence on Russia's involvement in election hacking

Hi Guys,

Wikileaks apparently offered to authenticate US intelligence on Russia's involvement in election hacking.

I'm sure all of you guys would have heard of the big hoo-hah with regards to the accusations towards Russia and their apparent involvement with tampering with the Presidential campaigns that happened this past year.

What do you guys think? I mean i'm pretty damn sure the government won't pass documents to Wikileaks but more-so on the overall drama thats currently occurring. What do you think will happen if proof and evidence really does surface that would prove that Russia really did interfere with the elections?

It is total joke. Hillary's campaign started this Russian hacking meme as a way to distract from the DNC emails which showed DNC and HRC collusion during the primary. This deflection story continued when Podesta's emails were released showing Press and HRC collusion (among other things). Wikileaks got nearly zero coverage from the mainstream press.

If you want to blame anything on Hillary losing the election, besides the country being pissed at the fake growth, her being a massive establishment candidate during an election where outsiders were favored (Trump/Sanders), someone with negative ratings as high as Trump, with a 30 year history of scandals and a foreign influence money making scheme masquerading as a charity, then you blame it on the FBI.

And why did the FBI screw her over? Not because of Russia, but because Huma is married to a creep and Hillary and those around her only provide the bare minimum of truth, which gets them in trouble when you find thousands of unreported emails on said perverts computer.

So what do Dem's do? They talk about Russia "hacking" the election, even though these machines would have to be hacked in person, one at a time. Or about Russia "influencing" the election through "fake news", while ignoring the fact that the information in these emails is what fucked Hillary and not the emails themselves.

Blaming Russia is effectively the same as blaming the other woman for telling your wife that you are a cheat.

The US isn't going to provide information to prove this because there isn't anything provable. Numerous reports have come out saying these emails were from a disgruntled insider. The CIA, whose job has been to influence elections, provides zero information - very similar to the "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" lie which caused this nation trillions.

Finally, if Russia did hack Podesta and the DNC, bravo. I am sad it was the Russians who finally reveled the trash going on between the Democrats and CNN,MSNBC, etc.

 

Hey ANT-right, calm down. What was in those emails exactly at the end of the day? That politicians meticulously plan their responses before speaking with the press? No shit. The story of the emails was far more damaging than what they actually said.

17 separate intelligence agencies agree that Russia tried to influence the election, and half the country mocks the findings, because "their guy won". I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was the party of patriotism.

"I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
 

Lets see.

  • Donna Brazile giving the HRC campaign questions beforehand on two occasions.
  • DebbieWS working with the HRC campaign to effectively fuck over Sanders
  • Goldman Sachs transcripts that HRC refused to release
  • Conversations and collusion between major news networks in support of the HRC campaign
  • Additional information showing the convoluted and manipulative nature of the Clinton Foundation
  • Pretty shocking comments about using Sanders religion against him, comments on Hispanics and other minorities

On and on.

Russia tried to influence the election - interesting. So it went from influence to hacked? Additionally, where is the evidence that Russia hacked emails and provided them to Wikileaks. I want to see it and we all want to see it.

I am pretty old as well. Republicans were never a party of patriotism. Republicans were and still are the party of sending poor kids off to die for big business interests. If you think Iraq, Afghanistan, or any of the other skirmishes we are always getting involved in have anything to do with the Red, White and Blue, you aren't paying attention.

As for patriotism, I find none in Hillary. At least Trump is openly talking about extracting the US from all our little manipulations overseas. We continue to pay for and essentially are NATO and for what reason? We meddle in the ME for decades and for what? The amount of money spent in Iraq could have blanketed this country with solar, wind, nuclear and now abundant oil and natural gas. Instead we enriched contractors, big military providers, wasted a trillion and killed and crippled tens of thousands.

Party of patriotism my ass.

 

if their hypothesis is that russia hacked DNC emails and simply timed the release of the same to influence people's opinions, well then I say bravo, that's good marketing.

hillary and the DNC should've operated ethically, and then the russians would've had nothing to leak.

to assert that russia actually altered the results to favor trump is preposterous. like TNA said, they would've had to hack individual terminals. the info I've seen basically makes a loose case that the timing of the email released was intentional to influence the voters, they title the article "russia hacks demcrats because they wanted trump to win," give me a break.

I'm not a trump fanboy, but people need to stop their fucking crying.

 

All the "Hack the election" headlining really pisses me off. They aren't even claiming that Russia did anything to election results....the MSM is just trying to make this seem like a bigger deal.

Looks like some people from Russia were responsible for hacking the DNC and Podesta. Whether the government was involved is likely never going to be provable.

More importantly, the hackers TRIED to hack the RNC as well, but their security was better so they didn't get anything. Also, they DID hack McConnell, and they released that information. As it turns it out, it was nowhere near as juicy as what was going on over on the Democrat side, so no one cared.

I'd agree with the notion that Russian involvement helped Trump.....how could all of those revelations NOT help him? The DNC chair had to resign! But claiming that they got involved for the PURPOSE of pushing Trump...even though they also tried to hack the RNC.....is too far. With how the MSM has covered the entire campaign, and with Democrats looking to blame anyone and anything for their loss, this just strikes me as an attempt to torpedo Trump's administration before it even gets started. Trump has so far been gracious, temperate (for him at least), and has a number of small wins already. Many of his appointments have been good or at least non-controversial........the histrionic reactions to his win have predictably been demonstrated to be hogwash. They need to conjure up SOMETHING, because there is little room for legitimate criticism so far.

If anyone should be upset at all, it should be the rabid side of his support base. He hasn't tried to lock up Clinton, has said good things about Obama, and has already said some of the wall may be fencing. He's moderating and showing pragmatism, which some people DON'T want to see.
