Good thing the illegal invaders from south of the border do not mess with our elections.

The Russian’s apparently have more American patriotism than Democrats.

Democrats should be VERY worried. “Russia” is going to “steal” 2018 and 2020 just to be entertained by watching Democrats’ emotional meltdowns.

Democrats should just go ahead and accept defeat and save themselves the embarrassment.

China is the country that will interfere on behalf of the Dems who have no reservations about being funneled money by an enemy of the US to them like in the old Clinton days. China wants Trump and the Republicans out in this trade war. The phony story line the dems tried selling that Trump was compromised by China because he owned properties there obviously did not work for them.

“There was no ‘Russian meddling’ last time and there won’t be next time. I’m still waiting for the proof that there was. Based on FBI word?”

I spoke with an FBI investigator a couple of weeks ago who was assigned to the Russian hacking issue during the 2016 election and on an ongoing basis.

I asked him if it was true that Russia is always attempting to do these things. He said yes but that there was a significant uptick in 2016. Even though I am dubious of his politics (which we didn’t discuss) I believe he was being honest.

It is very possible that Russia or Russian hackers increased their ongoing efforts. It is also possible that the NSA spoofed this uptick using tools we know they posses.

It is important to remember that no evidence exists for this affecting the outcome of any election or even a single vote being changed.

Whether Russia did anything unusual or not, it is clear that the Obama administration, in coordination with his political party’s presidential candidate, used anything it could find as a pretext to spy on private citizens connected to the presidential campaign of a rival party.

None of the smoke and mirrors propaganda from the media changes this reality.

Very well stated summation. I’d pose also the following? Is it hacking if said organization (DNC) leaves the door wide open Or in the case of Hillary non locked down non governmental server? It’s also possible DNC in the act of “diversity” hired staffers who are infiltrators. It’s likely plausible considering Feinstein and he China staffer for years

Good point. I wish I’d thought to ask him about the DNC server. I doubt that was actual hacking. As far as Hillary’s server, logic dictates that she did not intentionally allow her server to be “hacked” by China or others since the very existence of the server is something she did not want the public to know about. If she wanted to hand off state secrets to the Chinese government, she would have used less-risky methods.

DiFi’s case is a little different. It does seem reasonable to question whether this was convenient way to pass along classified information for sale. Same could be the case with the foreign nationals of radical ideology given access to (actually put in charge of) highly sensitive computer data.
