Obama: ‘No Serious Person Thinks You Can Rig America’s Elections’
Democrats are flipping out now with the WaPo story claiming ‘Secret CIA assessment that Russia tried to influence Election for Trump’.
There have been no facts even suggesting that the vote was in anyway hacked or ‘rigged’. As Obama notes, the decentralized nature of the elections makes it virtually impossible to do it as a national effort.
Yet, we’re treated to an untestable amorphous claim from an official saying “CIA said” that Russians might have tried to influence the election to have Trump win, with no evidence as to what that might pertain, no evidence that it even has anything at all to do with the vote itself, right as the electors are getting ready to vote.
Moreover, this beat of Russian influence has been constant since the DNC hack. Yes, the Russians may(or may not have) hacked the DNC. People were aware of that. They gave it what wait they thought it deserved. It didn’t invalidate the information released which was true, and showed the DNC improperly trying to influence the election toward Hillary.
RE: Obama: ‘No Serious Person Thinks You Can Rig America’s Elections’
I have no doubt that the Russians hacked the DNC because the DNC are apparently technically incompetent.
The leaks highlighted the fact that the Clinton campaign and DNC are a cynical bunch with no real thoughts other than the next donor or the next spin cycle...and that they had basically co-opted the State Dept. and turned it into a branch office of the Clinton Foundation/Campaign.
Did that influence the election? Maybe.
Of course we listen to Merkel's phone, tried to influence the Brexit vote, and tried to get Netanyahu defeated in Israel...so its not like we are shocked someone would do such a thing.
