Former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign manager Robby Mook dug up an old excuse for why Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election late Thursday on Twitter: the Russians. Mook took advantage of the national debate of President Donald Trump’s handling of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski in a Thursday tweetstorm, to bring up his old argument that officials with the president’s campaign colluded with Russian leadership. “Good people in both parties agree: politics is a rough business, but it’s never ok to team up with foreign criminals to gain an advantage,” Mook wrote in his tweet, before adding an emoji...

I know I am not alone in being sick and tired of the nonsensical Russian hacking brouhaha. Give it a rest--please. The only ones still buying into it are brain-dead liberal zombies who take as gospel anything their various propaganda outlets spew out You brought this up [Russian hacking] and you act as if we all know this—and I don’t think we do all know this, actually. ....What’s this about? We all assume we know that Russia hacked the election, and I’m just asking why has not one person, not one explained exactly what that means. I’m getting very frustrated....

Center for American Progress and Arabella Advisors have reportedly been targeted Russian hackers are blackmailing U.S.-based left-of-center organizations after hacking their email in search of embarrassing information, Bloomberg News reports. “At least a dozen groups have faced extortion attempts since the U.S. presidential election, said the [unnamed sources], who provided broad outlines of the campaign. The ransom demands are accompanied by samples of sensitive data in the hackers’ possession.”

The Russians did it! That’s probably what liberal media would be shrieking if the epic Oscars gaffe had not been captured on live TV. After spending two hours needling President Trump, Hollywood got egg on its face bigly after the wrong winner was announced for best picture. The bizarre turn of events unfolded when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were presenting the Academy Award for best picture. Beatty was handed an envelope that was supposed to contain the winner.

Video has John McCain conducting foreign policy without President. I don't know if it is real or not, but it sure sounds like McCain

If you remember earlier we posted the prank call to the buffoon Maxine Waters. Not to be outdone, here is RINO John McCain in a pranked call with the same fake Ukrainian PM. Evidently all you need is a slavic accent and a few well placed calls to convince our high officials of fake identities. Listen to what he asks abotu Trump.

Never in the last half century has the American left believed the Soviet Union or Russia capable of a single nefarious act against the United States or the West. President Obama, and even some Republicans in Congress, have given credence to the notion that Vladimir Putin directed his intelligence services to hack into the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's top aides and then directly or indirectly pass them on to Wikileaks. By so doing, we are led to believe, this has brought Donald Trump the presidency. It is of little consequence that few, if any, of the hundreds of...

Trump’s policies in favor of free enterprise and freedom of speech and in favor of all the Amendments to and protections of the U.S. Constitution and Trump’s positions against terrorists and criminals and repressions of freedom of thought Those who argue that the Russian hackers gave Donald Trump an unfair advantage would do well to consider that the unfair advantage argument actually favors Trump over Clinton since (1) Hillary had far more unfair advantages than Trump; (2) Most notably, the mainstream press gave her an unfair advantage;

"DISINFORMATION!" cries Congressman Peter King as claim Russian hackers helped elect Trump falls apart The absolutely incredible claim from the Central Intelligence Agency that Russian hackers somehow put Donald Trump over the top in the election is falling apart. Both the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which oversees all the U.S. intelligence agencies, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reject the CIA’s analysis.

The latest liberal dog that won't hunt in the never-ending quest to explain away Hillary's defeat First, it was the utter shock to liberals that Donald Trump won the presidency. Second, it was the persistent denial that it actually happened. Then, there came a series of distractions about the results of the election to cast doubt on the results, and to try and de-legitimize the election of Trump.

The latest media offensive against Donald Trump is underway, this time with the help of the CIA and President Obama, as a single unnamed source cited in a Washington Post article has cemented the idea that Russian hackers influenced the election in the heads of left wing journalists everywhere. Not only does The Washington Post article claim that the Russian's tampered in the election, but they specifically did so with the objective to help Donald Trump win the election. Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the...

The FBI did not corroborate the CIA’s claim that Russia had a hand in the election of President-elect Donald Trump in a meeting with lawmakers last week. A senior FBI counterintelligence official met with Republican and Democrat members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in order to give the bureau’s view of a recent CIA report. The official did not concur with the CIA, frustrating Democrats. The CIA believes Russia “quite” clearly intended to send Trump to the White House. The claim is a bold one, and concerned Democrats and some Republicans who are worried about Trump’s desire...

Russian Hackers Altered Emails Before Release to Wikileaks Source: Motherboard Vice, NPR, and MSNBC New evidence is emerging that content from the DNC emails accessed by Russian hackers may have been altered before being released to Wikileaks. This added layer of information joined with the timing of the release and TrumpÂ’s cozy relationship with Putin paint a picture of deep collusion and planning aimed at fracturing any potential Democratic unity at the most crucial point in the 2016 presidential election cycle. Thomas Rid at Motherboard Vice reported on the discovery this morning: The metadata in the leaked documents are perhaps...

The Obama administration is scrambling to assess the impact of an unprecedented data breach involving the agency that handles security clearances and employee records. According to the Washington Post, Chinese hackers breached the Office of Personnel Management in December and gained access to personal information of up to 4 million current and former employees. A congressional aide familiar with the situation, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to discuss it, says the OPM and the Interior Department were hacked. A second U.S. official who also declined to be identified said the data breach could potentially affect...

With barely time to savour his triumph, Barack Obama has been confronted with various international crises to test his mettle. The U.S. President-elect faces threats from Russia, Israel and Afghanistan as it emerged his election team's computers were hacked by a 'foreign entity' during the election. Officials at the FBI and the White House believe the hackers sought to gather information on the evolution of both his and Senator John McCain's policy positions with the idea of using that information in negotiations with the next administration. Obama technical experts later speculated the hackers were Russian or Chinese, and security ended...
