Obama Crushes Conspiracy: No Evidence that Russia Tampered with Votes in Election
Breitbart ^ | December 13, 2016 | Charlie Spiering

President Barack Obama emphatically denounced the conspiracy theory saying Russians successfully tampered with the American voting process.

“We were frankly more concerned in the run up to the election to the possibilities of vote tampering, which we did not see evidence of,” he said. “And we’re confident that we can guard against.”

During an interview with the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, Obama downplayed the hack of a private email account of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta, defending his administration for revealing in October that the Russian government was connected.

“None of this should be a big surprise,” Obama said, “Russia trying to influence our elections dates back to the Soviet Union.”

Obama dismissed the hack and the leaked emails as “not very interesting” and lacking “explosive” revelations. He puzzled as to why it was an “obsession” by the news media despite the knowledge that the Russians were responsible.

The democrats do not want people looking at actual vote fraud. We would find it, and it would be from our own communists and socialists, not from the Russians.

That’s what a guy on Trish Regan’s show said yesterday — that Putin hacked Hillary’s plane’s GPS and it couldn’t land in Wisconsin. It kept returning to Chappaqua. :)

Haha! I read it on The_Donald. I saw another hilarious one over there too. An aide tells Hillary she needs to campaign in the rustbelt. She says ‘OK, I just need to check my email.’

A shadowy image of Putin appears on her phone.

She looks up with hypnosis-eyes and says, ‘On second thought, the blue wall is fine. Now, get my speechwriter on the phone; I want to talk about the basket of deplorables in my next speech. ‘

No, no, no - the Russians put Trump in office.

I know this because the media told me they heard it from agents at the CIA, based on no evidence whatsoever except their word, and they never lie!

It’s a mistake, I think, to believe Team Obama and Team Clinton are aligned during this time.

It as a DNC insider. He can’t handle truths well.

EXACTLY. In other words, "We know who leaked the emails and look over there at that shiny squirrel."

Seth Rich, an insider found shot dead on a D.C. street in the very early morning with all his belongings still on his corpse. Many surmise that he was the Leaker and had to be silenced. In fact many suspect he was on his way to a meeting with the FBI when he was gunned down from behind.

Didn’t 0pingpong just say he was going to start an investigation into the “Russian hacking” a couple of days ago?
