[Attention Surplus Disorder]

What if the real number is zero? You’d believe it anyway.

[SaveFerris]

My gosh, John Bolton was almost unwatchable on Lou Dobbs last night.

I could not believe it.

Seemed like he was obsessed with leftist talking points.

Did the pod people snatch his body?

He admitted nothing meaningful happened but that it was still a big deal. Lou Dobbs just kept interrupting him because Lou was so stunned, too. You could read Lou’s face.

Comey’s guys talked with the guys hired by the DNC. Russian hacking. Case closed. Seriously, they are welcome to keep going with this dead idea.

[sourcery]

Even if all 17 agencies agreed, and even if all of them actually had expertise and responsibility in the relevant areas (which almost none of them did,) they still have no evidence that can’t easily be forged, misinterpreted or otherwise strongly challenged. One such challenge is that they aren’t even willing to show what they claim to have. “No show” means it’s not admissable.

And there is much stronger evidence that the “hacking” was done by DNC insiders and agents of the US deep state.

[rktman]

Statute? Crickets.

[zeestephen]

Based on the publicly disclosed information, I have seen no evidence that the Russian election hack was a sophisticated, government sponsored effort.

All the “attacks” resulted from Russian phishing emails. I get Russian phishing emails almost every week!

The only example of premeditated cleverness was that one of the phishing emails was falsely “sent” from an executive at a company that sells election software and hardware.

This entire hack could have been pulled off by a group of Russian university students.

[samtheman]

Why the Clintonistas push the Russian Election Myth so obsessively: trying to distract from the Clinton Corruption Facts.

[Principled]

Just exactly what was the conclusion of the “17 or so” agencies? What exactly did they find??

[Ray76]

It wasn’t even three agencies. DNI James Clapper chose a panel of intel operatives from 3 agencies: CIA, NSA and the FBI.

Don’t forget, Clapper is a known perjurer.

Don’t forget also, they relied upon an assessment provided by Crowdstrike - a company which is funded by tens of millions of dollars from Clinton associates and which retracted major parts of its assessment. These intel operatives never did an independent assessment.

[camle]

i’m reminded about joe macarthy’s 57 communists. why does the left pillory him and not these guys?

[x]

This doesn’t mean the remaining 13 intelligence organizations disagree with the January assessment, nor does it mean the report was insufficient, according to multiple national security experts.

The 17 organizations differ on their missions and scope, so they wouldn’t all be expected to contribute to every intelligence assessment, including one of this import.

This is spin. The glass is half-full.

Surely, the point is that 17 agencies didn't say Russia was to blame and that Clinton was wrong when she said it.

If you disagreed with her assessment, you probably pointed out that the Coast Guard, the Energy Department, the DEA, and Geospacial Intelligence probably didn't investigate the matter and conclude that Russia was to blame.

Now Politifact is trying to use the fact that those agencies weren't involved -- something they didn't see fit to mention at the time -- to support their false assessment of the facts.

Shameless.

Politifact Rates Own Fact Check False In Reversal On Russia

[UCANSEE2]

“I agree, I think it was Russia, but I think it was probably other people and/or countries, and I see nothing wrong with that statement. Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows for sure.”

Perfect.

[TigersEye]

We believe our lack of evidence is absolutely true.

[publius911]

Retard comment. The progressive morons actually think three anon sources is strong so 87 makes it absolutely true!
These people are not playing with full decks...

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Russia DID try to influence the election but they did so to help HILLARY get elected, not Trump.

The people whom you have evidence of illegality on are the ones that you TRY to get elected. For example, China-Clinton. The Trump-Russian narrative doesn’t support this.

None of the deleted or damaging Hillary emails besides DNC or Podesta ones have surfaced suggesting people that have them like the FBI or enemies want to leverage them.

Didn’t she delete over 30,000 of them? I am going out on a limb her but I think Russia HAS these deleted emails. If they were trying to damage her, why didn’t they leak them? Russia like almost everyone else expected Hillary to win which would put them in the catbird seat.

But think of other Russian interests.

They would like us to remove tactical nukes from Europe.

They would like us to let the military deteriorate.

They would like us to NOT develop our energy resources. A drop in oil price would have a massive impact on Russia economically.

They would not want us to build up our military intelligence.

They would not want us to develop our military technology.

They would not want us to be secure from terrorist attacks.

On each and every one of these issues, the candidate the Russians would NOT want to get elected would be Donald Trump.

I think most people who believe this story was falsified by a politicized intel community instinctively know this, but I think it is worthwhile to state it unequivocally.

[Political Junkie Too]

From the movie The Manchurian Candidate:

---

Mrs. Iselin to Sen. Iselin: I keep telling you not to think. You're very, very good at a great many things, but thinking, hon', just simply isn't one of them. You just keep shouting "Point of Order, Point of Order" into the television cameras and I will handle the rest.

Sen. Iselin: I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot."

Mrs. Iselin, holding a newspaper: Well, you're going to look like an even bigger idiot if you don't get in there and do exactly what you're told...Who are they writing about all over this country and what are they saying? Are they saying: "Are there any Communists in the Defense Department?" No, of course not, they're saying: "How many Communists are there in the Defense Department?" So just stop talking like an expert all of a sudden and get out there and say what you're supposed to say.

Sen. Iselin: I have here a list of the names of 207 persons who are known by the Secretary of Defense as being members of the Communist Party... I demand an answer, Mr. Secretary. There will be no covering up, sir, no covering up. You are not going to get your hands on this list. And I deeply regret having to say...

"I have here a list of 17 Intelligence organizations PROVING Russia interference in the elections!"

-PJ

[CarolAnn]

Am I missing something here? Why is the word “collusion” in the title? You can have all 17 agencies holding irrefutable proof that Russia interfered with our election and that still isn’t collusion (as in with the Trump campaign). I know it is their leftist wet dream for them to find collusion, but it ain’t gonna happen!

[Rashputin]

People need to recognize the fundamental fact behind this never ending meme from the democrats. They consider Putin refusing to put money into the Clinton Machine a form of meddling in the election.

Hillary lost. She can't accept it. Putin without a doubt was approached for money to help her and refused. She'll tell whatever lie she thinks fits in order to try and harm Russia until the day she dies because for her, not backing Hillary is by definition harming Hillary.

How many attacks on other countries, including Russia come from the US Government? Oh wait that’s different.
