Eight Facts on the “Russian Hacks”
by Sharyl Attkisson
{sharylattkisson.com} ~ There’s no standing allegation by U.S. officials that the Russians (or anyone else) “hacked” into our elections system or altered vote counts... So what are the allegations and facts as we know them? The FBI and DHS released a brief joint report Thursday describing “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity.” It doesn’t include forensic proof of Russian government involvement in hacking efforts, but the administration is rushing a detailed, classified report to be delivered, at President liar-nObama’s request, prior to President Trump taking office January 20...

Muslim Migrants Try to Enforce
Sharia Law on Florida Family
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Islam is not a religion of peace. Sure, some followers are peaceful, but the main idea behind the religion is converting or killing infidels (non-believers.)... They believe they are superior, believe the west is decadent and the problem and wish to convert every last human being to Islam and Sharia. Sharia, in case you don’t know, is an abomination. It is a throwback to the dark ages, literally it hasn’t changes since the dark ages when barbarism ruled the world. To say Sharia is barbaric is an understatement. It’s treatment of women a true horror. This is what liar-nObama will never understand, the refugees want sharia here. And they are bringing it with them as this video clearly shows...

Putin Sends CLEAR Message
To liar-nObama During New Year’s Address...
by Sassy Liberty
{americasfreedomfighters.com} ~ Despite liar-nObama’s desperate attempts to “reset” relations with Russia they never got off the ground. Now, with President-elect Trump we have a new opportunity to GET ALONG with Russia and use them to our advantage... In his annual New Year’s message to foreign leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump. Noticeably missing from the message was any mention whatsoever of liar-nObama. In this case, what was NOT said spoke louder than anything else. In Putin’s message, he stated he looks forward to working together with the incoming Trump administration and he has high hopes that the U.S. and Russia can act together in a constructive and pragmatic manner...

liar-nObama's anti-Trump quest
to crush America
by Jesse Lee Peterson
{wnd.com} ~ With just three weeks left in his final term as president, Barack Hussein liar-nObama is behaving like a maniac; his desperate actions to salvage his disastrous legacy are unnerving the American people and our closest allies... liar-nObama is doing all he can to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump to prevent him from successfully undoing the failed socialist policies of the last eight years. But he didn’t start this quest yesterday. This past year liar-nObama covered a lot of ground in his bid to diminish and jeopardize America:...
.How Putin’s Response Was
A ‘Masterstroke’ Of Political Genius
by Saagar Enjeti
{dailycaller.com} ~ Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision not to expel U.S. diplomats in response to U.S. sanctions strengthens his chances of improving relations with the incoming Trump administration... President Barack liar-nObama officially sanctioned the Russian government Thursday for purportedly trying to influence the 2016 presidential election. These sanctions included expelling 35 Russian diplomats and seizing Russian government property. Putin’s Foreign Minister indicated the Russian government would respond in kind, until he made a surprise announcement Friday that Russia would not take any punitive action... http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/31/how-putins-response-was-a-masterstroke-of-political-genius/

Hacking the DNC Is Not Hacking the Election
by Erick Erickson
{theresurgent.com} ~ Perhaps the biggest foreign policy failure of the liar-nObama Administration would be their so-called Russian reset. So determined to show their competence compared to the Bush Administration, Barack liar-nObama had liar-Hillary Clinton give the Russian foreign minister an actual button, mistranslated in Russian no less, that symbolized a fresh start to the relationship.
In 2012, when Mitt Romney noted Russia was a significant geopolitical threat to the United States, Barack liar-nObama and his courtiers in the media ridiculed Romney and denied it was so.
Now, Barack liar-nObama is expelling Russian “diplomats” who are most likely Russian intelligence officers, which makes one wonder why he was fine with them in the country until liar-Hillary Clinton lost.
On top of all of this, the media would have you believe the Russians hacked the election. This is simply not true nor is there any evidence of it. Hacking the DNC and phishing John Podesta’s emails is not hacking or rigging an election.
At the same time, this does not mean we should dismiss the issue. It is still a serious issue. A foreign power hacked the email accounts of a major Western political party intent on disrupting that party during the election for a new national leader. This needs to be investigated and there should be repercussions.
But to say the Russian hacking of the DNC cost liar-Hillary Clinton the election is not only not provable, but more likely than not simply not true. liar-Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate who ran a terrible campaign with a terrible strategy based on the presumption that people already agreed with her when they did not.
Notwithstanding that, I think it is a safe assumption that had the Russians hacked NBC and found the Billy Bush-Donald Trump video and released it, the Republicans would be demanding an investigation and retaliation. They would be just as justified in doing so as Democrats are now.
But, again, to think hacking the DNC cost liar-Clinton the election is an unserious proposition. Consider that the NBC tape, which had much more sustained multi-day coverage and repeated repudiations of Trump by prior endorsers than the DNC emails did, did absolutely nothing to stop Trump. liar-Clinton was a terrible candidate.
There is no evidence of the Russians hacking into ballot boxes, voting machines, or anything else. We must absolutely take this seriously though.
Republicans who are flippantly saying the Russians just did what the media should have done are setting a dangerous precedent. When the time comes that China or Russia begins leaking damaging information about Donald Trump, the GOP will have surrendered any moral high ground on this issue.
Russian hacking should not be a partisan issue. It is serious. But it is also not a plausible excuse for a terrible and terribly disliked candidate losing an election.
