Hayden is such a moron. He says the Russians did such a good job, we didn’t even know they did it. And this fool was a leader.

Trump should have Sessions appoint a second special prosecutor to investigate Seth Rich’s death & the DNC server,....it could be broadened to include Clinton fundraising crimes, unmasking for political espionage purposes, the Lynch/Clinton Obstruction of Justice, leaking of classified info out of the Deep State, Mueller & Comey’s ties to the DNC....turn the FBI lose on real criminality....

Sure, Russia wanted Trump to win despite Trump’s promise to do all he could to bring the price of oil down and expanded fracking while Clinton wanted oil prices and all energy cost to rise. Not to mention Trump’s stance on a stronger military. Hmm, what frequency are liberals on?

Absolutely correct... “covert” is a code word for we can’t figure out what they did and how they did it. i.e. we’re making it up.

most successful covert operation in history

So covert that those obsessed with it will never get to the bottom of it. We need a lot more details of this alleged "covert operation" from Hayden.

In history? Really? Soviet acquisition of US nuclear secrets and consequent acceleration of their nuclear program wasn't as important as the DNC’s emails? A former head of the CIA said this?

“Hayden told a national security panel in response to a question from moderator Yahoo News Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff.”

...

“Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, also on the panel”

You are both absolutely correct. Which is why I believe they refused to allow the FBI to have access to their computers. For that would have shown that their was no hacking done to their computers as they have and continue to claim. If it truly was the most successful covert operation in history as he claims then how do we even know about it? What it actually is, is the greatest slight of hand diversion to lay blame on others for something unrelated with implications national security to take focus off of what the content of the emails revealed. BTW, I have no doubt that all of those computers were destroyed by now, thus rendering a reliable investigation impossible.

Guess Hayden should know since Wikileaks is a CIA op.

Sessions could redeem himself considerably if he did do that. Not only would opposing independent prosecutors be looking into the candidates both both political parties simultaneously but they could also have overlapping areas of interest in the Russian involvement issue, yet Sessions would hold true to his recusing of the Russian involvement issue.

I think that could take a lot of the bite out of Mueller.

The embarrassing thing is how many leftists believe a novice guy with one cracked email account and a couple hundred bot Tweeters could outfox HRC’s $2 billion professionally run election machine staffed by only the top seasoned pros.

While Sessions has recused himself directly from this case, he still runs Justice and has plenary supervising authority. How about if he issued a preservation order on ALL electronic devices used by all the investigators and staff, including private email accounts. The emails would be copied and turned over to a new investigative body, which would be singularly tasked to ascertain the indentity of the leaker(s) who are divulging privileged information. Guarantee full prosecution.

Are you talking about the investigation being run by Robert Muwller?
