Early last August, an envelope with extraordinary handling restrictions arrived at the White House. Sent by courier from the CIA, it carried “eyes only” instructions that its contents be shown to just four people: President Barack Obama and three senior aides.

Inside was an intelligence bombshell, a report drawn from sourcing deep inside the Russian government that detailed Russian President Vladi*mir Putin’s direct involvement in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the U.S. presidential race.

But it went further. The intelligence captured Putin’s specific instructions on the operation’s audacious objectives — defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and help elect her opponent, Donald Trump.

Interesting read.

We keep hearing from some here "Where's the evidence?" Well, I don't think we (the public) know 99% of what's going on and we may never know.
 
Well, if our intelligence was able to get deep enough into Putins inner circle to find out that he had direct involvement in the hacking of Podesta and the DNC, then our intelligence agencies would also have come up with the goods that Putin was colluding with Trump if such collusion existed. They haven't, so obviously there was no collusion.

So this source deep in the Kremlin leaks out that Putin was directly involved in the hacking--something no one really doubts or cares about--but keeps quite about info on collusion with Trump. Right.

Who says they've kept quiet? Just because the press doesn't have the info doesn't mean the IC doesn't have it. Like I said, you, me, and everyone here don't know 99+% of what the IC knows and there are still investigations going on. Remember, Watergate took years. The part that no one really cares is horse ****.

So you, like 45 don't believe the 17 Intel Committees and are okay with Russian cyber warfare against our democracy?

Good to know.

That's not what I said. I posted a single sentence and you got it completely wrong. How is that possible?

The question at this point is, "Why did this remain a secret until AFTER Hillary lost?".

Why was the sacred election process held to be inviolable and accurate until Trump won?

Why was the mere idea that a candidate might not accept the official election results held up as PROOF that Trump was a dangerously self interested maverick who would destroy the country?

If Trump questions it, that's dangerous. If every Democrat who can find a microphone questions it, that's Democracy.

Our Media is a hypocritical, political motivated gang of partisan hacks intentionally lying to the American People.
