Obama argued that once his administration had “clarity and certainty about what in fact had happened, we publicly announced that Russia had hacked into the DNC” during the campaign — making sure the public was informed of Russia’s culpability before the election.

But he argued that complaints from the media that he should have done more fall short of the mark — and neglected media’s own role in amplifying the damage to Clinton. “The truth is that there was nobody here who didn’t have some sense about what kind of effect it might have,” Obama said. “I’m finding it a little curious that everybody’s suddenly acting surprised that this looked like it was disadvantaging Hillary Clinton — because you guys wrote about it every day! Every single week!”

As his voice dripped with disdain, Obama said the press covered “every little juicy tidbit of political gossip. Including John Podesta’s risotto recipe. This was an obsession that dominated the news coverage. So I do think it’s worth us reflecting how it is that a presidential election of such importance, of such moment, with so many big issues at stake and such a contrast between the candidates, came to be dominated by a bunch of these leaks.

Obama: I handled the Russian hacks properly. It?s the media that didn?t. - Vox

I gotta go with The Professor Prick Extraordinaire in this one, though he sure failed too. These assholes in the press need to get their asses handed to them every single day till/unless they decide to get back to doing journalism. With as dishonest as they are, and judging by their work stupid too, we'll see.

Obama first claimed it was a hack and now he's saying that they were leaks. Whoopsie!!!! Obama is having trouble keeping his lies straight.
 
Obama's been getting attacked by some people in the GOP for the last 8 years,and it's still going on.

Maybe they'll find a new target next year,eh?

He was referring to WikiLEAKS, Einstein.

It was a fair down-dressing of a media that first lifted Trump up and then began running around in shock when he won. The media could have taken him out a year ago, but he was too good for business. He still is.
 
Just more liberal deflection away from the information that the leak contained.

The leaks were obtained illegally, by a foreign power. If that doesn't bother you because your boi won, then I know for a fact that you are no patriotic American but rather just a partisan hack.

+1000.

There are just so many gutless clowns around these days, and they shout at the top of their voice to make up for their lack of stones.

And exactly what was so damaging in the information that they contained, that would not have been at least as bad if not (more likely) much worse in the GOPs emails ? You'll have to be a real hypocritical buffoon to believe otherwise.

The only thing remotely objectionable in the wikileaded emails was news that she received one ORDINARY debate question in advance. Have you seen debate prep? Do you know how well prepared they are ? And these are seasoned politicians. They'll be able to draw on their prep and respond to practically every situation they are asked. That was no big deal though it was, of course, wrong.

No US agency has provided anything except a disputed claim of a belief it was Russia, but no actual evidence regarding how they came to those beliefs.
Just speculation because it is similar to how Russia has acted in the past. Which is really a ridiculous claim as there are only so many ways to gain access to servers, and hackers use all of the techniques, not just Russian hackers.


On the other hand we have Wikileaks explaining exactly how they obtained the information and that it came from a source who had legal access to it.


As for the illegality of it and what you think in regards to "my boi"?
First of all you have no clue as to what you speak in regards to me. So stop with that nonsense.
Secondly, that information was released, period. It shows behavior on the part of the Dems that people are most definitely allowed to use to sway their opinions.
No difference if other illegally obtained information is release to the public. Once it is out there it is out there.

As for actual legality? Please show that an illegal act occurred.
You know, like the stuff Manning did. He violated law.

But if it was an internal breach like Wiki suggests, it may not have been illegal at all.

1. Stop with the RNC email bs. You have no information to suggest any such thing is reality.

2. As for it's impact?
Exactly.
This didn't have that much an effect on this election and is thus irrelevant to it.

That's like you committing a crime and then getting caught because you kept your password "p@$$w0rd" and someone got into your information and it all came to light. Blaming someone else's criminal behavior from exposing your own criminal behavior has got to be one of the worst, most pathetic excuses I've ever heard. Own up to your **** and admit what you did. Don't blame some mythical hacker because you were caught breaking the rules.

Actually, they found Russian artifact in the code. But, why I would bother explaining something like that to you is a mystery. Anyway, if you know better than the FBI, CIA and DOJ...maybe you should run for President, or just put in for Deputy of Cyber Security.

Actually, they found things that so blatantly pointed to Russian hackers that it most likely wouldn't be them, seeing as any decent Kremlin hacker wouldn't have left any of the stuff behind that they did. IP addresses from VPN's going back to Russia? Give me a break.

You're giving them too much credit. But, I agree that was my first thought too---you mean these morons wrote the code in Russian and then translated it to English? Appears so.

What criminal behavior was exposed by the hacks? Pizzagate?

Coordinating with the DNC, as well as coordinating with Super PACs.

"Coordinating"? Wow. What is that, like murder or something?

Not all criminal actions end in murder. But go ahead, continue to play off political corruption like its nothing while you complain that Russia somehow influenced our election. Do you see the irony yet?

It's not political corruption to "coordinate."
