Showing Original Post only (View all)This is forensic! Its indisputable: Former CIA operative slams Trump for dismissing Russian hacks [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/this-is-forensic-its-indisputable-former-cia-operative-slams-trump-for-dismissing-russian-hacks/Former CIA operative Bob Baer is shocked that President-elect Donald Trump and his Republican allies are ignoring what he calls forensic information and computer DNA.
I think he hacked the elections, Baer said of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The FBI came out today and put out a report. This is forensic information. He manipulated our election and now hes manipulating our politics. The fact they didnt expel any American diplomats from Moscow and he turns around and says, Trump is just the man we can deal with, this is just extraordinary.

And the fact that Trump has not reacted is incredible, he continued. This FBI information is forensic. It is the same sort of evidence they send people to jail on. It is computer DNA. It is indisputable at this point.
CNN host Kate Bolduan remarked that it was interesting Baer laid out the argument that way because former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani questioned the evidence, claiming it might be political. Giuliani said that Trump will get his own team to look through the intelligence report given the politics or the possibility of the intelligence being wrong.
It is going to be the same stuff, Baer explained. But what Giuliani misses, this isnt intelligence. This isnt assessments. This isnt people trying to get into Putins mind. This is forensics. It is DNA. And this is what they are all missing and it is every single intelligence agency in the United States government that this is just a fact.
