“The FBI is planning to create a special section based at its Washington headquarters to co-ordinate its investigation of Russian activities designed to influence the 2016 presidential election,” the Financial Times reports.

“The move, a sign of how seriously the bureau is taking allegations of Russian meddling in American politics, is also aimed at giving FBI director James Comey greater visibility into the investigation’s granular details.”

Said one FBI agent: “It’s meant to surge resources.”

This actually makes a lot of sense from a bureaucratic standpoint. If you create a special investigative unit where you can park all the agency moonbats and they'll be happy you could, potentially, leave the rest of the agency free to do actual work.

I think so too. With the volume of information the committees are requesting alone is a huge task. Grassley's request which he has given Comey till the 11th to comply is huge amount of info that all relates to the Trump Dossier. He has honed in on Andrew McCabe and wants all McCabe had to do with the Dossier from surveillance, unmasking of names, working with Steele the former Brit spy etc. It turns out that the one who over looked the creating of the Dossier Glenn Simpson founder of Fusion GPS at the same time was working with a pro Russian lobbying group to get the Manitsky Act overturned. There just seems to be all kinds of Russian influence going on out there.

Russian meddling in the election is lower on my list of priorities than knowing what Bill Dawson in Ashtabula had for breakfast.

If Trump lost you'd be screaming the election was rigged.

No. A Hillary win was kind of expected. It was the Trump win that was the surprise.

Tell me about it. I'd hoped we'd seen peak partisan absurdity when the first bla..... when we had the first President who lied about his place of birth, religion, who hated America, who wanted to destroy America, etc etc etc, in office.

But now, even national security can go **** itself. Anything to protect the guy with the right letter next to his name....

Amazing how Russia can go from "our greatest geopolitical foe", when a certain D was in office, to being such good buddies that we don't even want to find out if they tried to **** with our elections.





It truly is astounding what a letter next to a name can do.

If there was any evidence whatsoever that they hacked a voting machine or submitted fake ballots or paid people to vote one way or the other I'd be pissed. Exposing an email account of a guy most voters never knew existed and showing how the Clinton campaign was tied at the hip to certain media was hardly a revelation, much less "****ing with elections".

The stupidity of your argument cannot be overstated. Have you ever heard of a strawman fallacy?

Rule #5 arguments get really, really old in a very short period of time.

What the hell are you talking about?

You are applauding the fact that a foreign adversary committed crimes on our soil for the purpose of manipulating our politics. How you could applaud such crime while wildly throwing the goalposts to random **** about hacking voting booths or paying voters is something so unconscionable that i'd rather not speculate.

I'm not applauding anything and hacking an email account is, in most states, either a really low felony or a mid level misdemeanor. The key factor seems to be whether monetary damage was done or whether the act constituted some form of stalking or harassment.

If you look at what happened objectively, you'll see that the "damage" caused by the hacking, at worst, resulted in 3 million more voters for Hillary than for Trump. That makes a pretty damned tough task of proving that the hacking caused harm. Furthermore, Democrats are implicating Trump and his staff in collusion related to the hacking which resulted in Hillary losing the election. To prove that they would need to show that somehow or other the hacking influenced electoral votes. That means influencing vote totals in specific states. Have we seen ANY evidence of that? How would the hack of the DNC and of Podesta have possibly SPECIFICALLY influenced votes in Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin PLUS how would the Russians (and Trump) have known ahead of time to target those votes?

You guys are talking about a conspiracy of epic proportions just in the concept. Actually pulling off such a stunt would be comparable to capturing a bigfoot and then proving that he (or she) faked the moon landing.
