Kremlin Refutes Claims About Alleged Russian Intervention In US Presidential Election
TASS ^ | 12/12/2016 | TASS

There has been no proof any secret services may somehow influenced the outcome of the presidential campaign in the United States, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said about media reports some Russian hackers, allegedly supervised by Russian secret services, had repeatedly obtained unauthorized access to US servers with the aim to secure Donald Trump’s win.

"Enviable regularity various Russian mass media have been publishing such allegations. With enviable regularity many high-ranking US and British Officials have been making such statements and likewise with enviable regularity none of the absolutely groundless claims has been propped up by any information, let alone proof," Peskov said.

He pointed out that such media claims looked like "absolutely groundless, unprofessional and incompetent charges that have nothing to do with the reality.". Share

The CIA made an extraordinary claim. An extraordinary claim require extraordinary proof.

No one has seen it. In its absence, its simply anti-Russian paranoia. The notion Russia knew how many votes to change in certain states on behalf of Trump and changed those votes is simply too absurd to entertain.

It should be pointed out the recount in WI has uncovered no hacking or serious election tampering of any kind in the works.

High US officials are circulating a conspiracy theory for which no evidence exists. If there was such evidence, it would already have been made public. And of course, by its very nature, a successful hack leaves no trail it ever took place.

The US has interfered in Russia's domestic affairs and is now huffing in outrage about alleged foreign interference in its domestic affairs. This is too funny even for words.

Above all, the risible notion floated the US cannot assure the integrity of its own elections says a great deal more about the motives of those pushing it forward than it does about Russia.

This is very dangerous what the Fake News Washington Post and NY Times are saying.

This would lead to war with Russia.

The CIA made no such claim that I have seen. A leaker that is likely a DNC apparatchik embedded in the CIA leaked the lie to the DNC apparatchik at the Washington post.

Remember when we could trust the U.S. news media but not the Russian?

The notion Russia knew how many votes to change in certain states on behalf of Trump and changed those votes is simply too absurd to entertain.

Not just certain states, certain counties and in fact, certain precincts!

There are more than 3,000 counties in the United States of America with TENS OF THOUSANDS of polling places (precincts.)

That the Russians would know which counties and which precincts to manipulate to swing the election to Trump is simply laughable.

It's an extraordinary claim by those making it, and an extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence to back up the claim.

Thus far, no evidence has been produced. Only unnamed sources. Let's have names, let's see the evidence. Barring any, those making the claim need to simply STFU.

I’m sure the Russians have juicier stuff than John Podesta and Chelsea Clintons emails.

Time to drop us some real truth to power
Maybe some videos
Maybe some of Barry’s personal email and chit chat about where he actually was and with who when Benghazi was burning

It seems what the NYPD found in Weiner’s home laptop is still in the hands of someone ...

Vlad knows it’s lies
Trump knows it’s lies

The obvious Russian move would be to snuff Hillary and Wapo reporters, not go to war

It could be the DHS behind pushing the leak.

Elements in the CIA, Obama White House and Congress do not want Trump to build constructive relations with Russia.

Tying his hands on Russia policy before he takes office by alleging Russia helped him win is the perfect step to ensure it.

Such elements want to continue a Cold War with Russia. Russia won’t lose if the US continues its confrontational and counter-productive policies towards it.

The only loser will be the US which cannot continue to be a unipolar superpower, as its stretched thin both abroad and at home. This notion the US can continue to decide the destinies of other peoples is an exhausted one.

Whether this can be sustained for the future, remains to be seen.

Nobody with a half a brain in his head believes this democrat controlled CIA Bullshiit. The fact that senile McCaine and “Nancy boy” Graham jumped on this bandwagon it giving the story some very wobbly legs.

It's been a long time, but once--long, long ago--Russians pressed their ears against clandestine radios to learn the truth from Western news outlets.

Today those Western news outlets are propaganda machines comparable to the Russian propaganda machines of those long ago days, and Americans more and more search Russian news outlets for truth, knowing that they will not learn it from the American media.

Current Interfering Agency claims Russia interfered with our election.

Must be because Putin wants America to be, once again, the most powerful country on the face of the earth?

The CIA made an extraordinary claim. An extraordinary claim require extraordinary proof.

IF the CIA made that claim, I find nowhere it officially did so or even commented upon. We have the NYT, Washington Post and a dozen other hangers on leech newsers all spouting the same unproven innuendo and 'claims' by 'unidentified sources.' Oh! I forgot! Some retired CIA goober said we need to redo the election.....yeah. Advice to these interlopers should be "be very careful what you do, you might be getting a Civil War to report on."

True that

...doesn't fit the profile the dims promote about Bolton.
