Intel Report On Russian Hacking Is Stunning

“I would say this: Regardless of the outcome of the election, the American people have the right to know what a foreign power did to disrupt our election,” she said after the intelligence community briefed House and Senate leaders on its findings.

Pressed further, Pelosi said she had no doubt ― even before the intelligence officials made their determination ― that Russia was involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee.

who have proof that this did indeed happen. Most of the fake left online, who were all agog over RT and the RW frothy attacks on Hillary that they loved to repeat, perhaps are in denial of how they were ratfucked, by whom and by how easily it was done?

Maybe he should explain why he agrees with Trump about how Putin is telling the truth and the Intelligence agencies, the proof, the facts and the statements of Russians themselves are just figments of our imaginations, while RT and it's denials should be given more weight than the everything else?

The actual left has been sounding the alarm for months now, Bernie and his online followers won't even believe the Russians who tell them how they've been made fools. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with the actual left, they sound quite a lot like Dems on DU, who aren't still regurgitating the frothy hate that featured in the primaries and rendered the so-called left indistinguishable from the RWers.

14. It wasn't just the right, they made fools of the elements of the left as well.

They were anti-Hillary the whole time, and were pushing Bernie. He made many appearances on RT, and Lee Camp is pretty much still frothing on about Hillary and all the anti-Dem talking points.

This was a pretty comprehensive attack on democracy, the Democrats and Hillary. They made some fools on the left as well, they're literally just in denial, despite many who had been calling this out for a year now.

There were Bernie supporters (rational people) and there were these malignant folks pushing a virulent line of attacks on Hillary, the Democrats and anyone who dared to question anything. Those were the bros that everyone ran into online, those were destructive, divisive forces, and we're seeing the damage that has done right here.
