I can't wait until Trump's picks clean house in the intelligence communities. By refusing to speak to Congress and leaking stories to the "press" the CIA has basically become another propaganda arm of the Democratic party. The fact that the people in the CIA would actively look to undermine a democratic election IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY absolutely disgusts me.

And two other things. Podesta is the lowest form of scum, and Hillary is a coward. She won't hold a concession speech the night of; she sends Stein and Podesta to do recounts; and she sends Podesta to stir the pot with the Russia nonsense. Too cowardly to acknowledge the loss and she wanted to be the leader of the free world???

I changed my mind on wanting her investigated. I hope Trump clicks AG Sessions off safe and tells him to go wherever the facts lead. And I hope it leads to dozens of indictments. There is no doubt in my mind she DID break the law.

I heard Olbermann is Glenn Becks brother, is that true ?

What a fucking idiot

Dennis Miller on the Trump tech heads meeting yesterday: "Do you imagine how delicious this is for Trump, to sit in a room full of visionaries who didn't see it coming?"

Over the last few days Fox has had quite a bit of coverage on the Electoral College. The RNC has been all over the Electors it seems as far as keeping them in tow. They said only one Elector (I guess that guy from Texas) is not committed to vote as their state dictated.

It certainly seems they are on them like flies on a rib roast. I am not worried at all.

I thought I read somewhere, maybe in this thread, that Heidi Heitkamp was a way to get another R seat in ND, and that she was fully qualified to do the job anyway.

It's all running together now in my head...

Yeah, I saw that too. Oh, the irony of it all.

When police investigated and found no evidence / no witnesses / no video, Seweid said she made the story up.

She has been charged with making a false report.

police sources have told NBC 4 New York that Seweid allegedly admitted to them she had been out drinking with friends, and made up the attack to distract her angry father.

Para, you asked for an explanation of fake news? Here you go. It is no more fake than this, using social medial to stir national outrage, to distract your dad because you got drunk.

Our President-Elect (just love saying that) raised a VERY interesting and important question today...."If the Democrats are so concerned about hacking by the Russians, why are they just now bringing it up AFTER Hillary lost??" I'm paraphrasing, of course.....

"Intelligence" Officials Refuse to Brief House on Alleged Russian Hacks

..... maybe because there is no info.... I call BS on the whole Russian theory

Quote:
WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes on Wednesday blasted as "unacceptable" the refusal of the FBI, CIA and National Intelligence directors to brief his panel on the Russian cyber attacks that occurred during the presidential campaign.

Nunes had requested that National Intelligence Director James Clapper, with participation from FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan, brief committee members in a closed session on Thursday. That briefing has now been cancelled.

The California Republican, in a letter sent to Clapper on Monday, said he wanted clarification about why the CIA is now saying that Russian hacks of political campaign committees earlier this year appeared to be aimed at helping President-elect Donald Trump and hurting Democrat Hillary Clinton. Nunes pointed to testimony from Clapper in a public hearing in November that the Intelligence Community lacked the evidence to draw such a conclusion.

"It is unacceptable that the Intelligence Community directors would not fulfill the House Intelligence Committee’s request to be briefed tomorrow on the cyber-attacks that occurred during the presidential campaign," Nunes said in a statement released Wednesday night. "The legislative branch is constitutionally vested with oversight responsibility of executive branch agencies, which are obligated to comply with our requests."

However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that "senior administration officials have regularly provided extensive, detailed classified and unclassified briefings to members and staff from both parties on Capitol Hill since this past summer and have continued to do so after Election Day."

"Last week, the President ordered a full Intelligence Community review of foreign efforts to influence recent presidential elections — from 2008 to present," the director's office said in a statement Wednesday. "Once the review is complete in the coming weeks, the Intelligence Community stands ready to brief Congress — and will make those findings available to the public consistent with protecting intelligence sources and methods. We will not offer any comment until the review is complete."

Nunes is a member of Trump's presidential transition team. Trump has dismissed reports that the Russians were trying to help him win the election as "ridiculous."

Nunes said his committee "is vigorously looking into reports of cyber-attacks during the election campaign, and in particular we want to clarify press reports that the CIA has a new assessment that it has not shared with us."

"The committee is deeply concerned that intransigence in sharing intelligence with Congress can enable the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes," Nunes said. "The committee will continue its efforts and will insist that we receive all the necessary cooperation from the relevant leaders of the Intelligence Community."

of course there is no story...

the 'conclusion' was probably fabricated by a single employee

certainly not a consensus amongst the other agencies, otherwise they'd be jumping all over themselves and humping every blonde on the street trying to take credit for the scoop of the century

this has no legs, as does the desire by the entire state delegation from New Hampshire to get a classified briefing

yeah, that's not going to happen - none of them have clearances and its out of their scope of duties.

that would be unfair to Russia

a better solution is to just take him for a nice walk in the Grand Canyon
