The Obama administration on Friday officially accused Russia of attempting to interfere in the 2016 elections, including by hacking the computers of the Democratic National Committee and other political organizations.

The denunciation, made by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security, came as pressure was growing from within the administration and some lawmakers to hold Moscow accountable for a set of actions apparently aimed at sowing discord around the election.

Table being set to declare a Trump victory the illegitimate result of Russian hacking.

Never mind that Obama meddled in the Israeli election.

Hmmm...laying the groundwork to declare the results invalid?

Internal polls must show TRUMP far ahead.

This hacking has nothing to do with Russia....it is probably coming from our own government...it's the only way some of the honest people working there can get information out to the people...

Russia doesn't want to work with Barky, and they cannot stand Hillary, they want to work with some one who has some smarts and common sense, like Trump and Pence...

Our own House and Senate are as crazy as Barky and Hillary, you do remember when she said Trump caused the Hermine hurricane...SMH!!! The woman has serious brain damage and so does Barky...

Well, the only remedy for that is to take all the voting machines offline. We can go back to paper. It will take longer to count, but the cheaters (domestic, mainly) will have to work harder.

If Russia is doing this—THANK YOU, RUSSIA!

The Clintons and the DNC need to be brought down.

Yep, I agree. And ink stained fingers. Alas, it isn’t going to happen.

Hmm, Obozo may be doing this to invite Putin to play. And Putin just might; why not cause as much turmoil here as possible, and what does he care who wins? A delay would piss off Trump BUT ALSO Hildabest, and the only guy in the country happy with a delay in seating the new POTUS is... Obozo. And Reggie.

Coincidence that they made this accusation a couple of hours before the Podesta emails were released by Wikileaks?

“This hacking has nothing to do with Russia....it is probably coming from our own government...it’s the only way some of the honest people working there can get information out to the people...”

I agree. Putin loves Democrats. They have a price for everything. It is much easier and cheaper to pay bribes than to deal with countries who have their own interests to look after. (This is why Russia is selling weapons to Islamists. It is crazy to help Iran get a bomb as they will eventually find their way to Russia. But the sales are lubricated with bribes and those who get those bribes have houses in southern countries that will never see the fallout and deaths those bombs cause.)

That is a startling proposition, but given how much he’s been “in your face” about everything else I fear you may be right.

Get ready for the Reischtag Fire folks - they’re going to do anything they can to game this thing. Can’t let those unwashed deplorables into DC.
