Senate Upholds Intelligence Community Russia Assessment

[CSCOTTOSUPOKES]

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...-to-dispute-ic-assessment-of-russian-election

“The ICA relied not only on public Russian leadership commentary and state media reports, but also "a body of intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for Trump," the committee found.

Senate investigators also rejected the notion that the ICA was inappropriately influenced by politics, as some of Trump's supporters have alleged.


“In yet another contradiction to Trump allies claims, the Senate panel also found that a piece of Democratic-funded opposition research known as the Steele dossier did not "in any way inform the analysis in the ICA — including the key findings."

This was "because it was unverified information and had not been disseminated as serialized intelligence reporting," the Senate report found.

Makes me want to root for Russia in the World Cup. They are still in it aren’t they?

 

[PDT816]

That's some weak stuff. When are they going to give us something that we didn't know more than a year ago?

It's a rehash of a rehash of a rehash.

This is more, IMO, a direct rebuttal of Gowdy’s BS diatribe the other day.

Libya was a huge Clinton blunder that continued to give Clinton payback for her complete dumbassery. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Of the laundry list of things she did to piss off Putin, that was probably the worst.

But Russia didn't elect Trump. The American people did. Oops, another lame excuse scratched off her lengthy list.

“She noted that her ruling is based on the technicalities of the lawsuit and doesn’t take a position on whether the Trump campaign and its officials actually conspired with the Russians during the election.

"It bears emphasizing that this Court’s ruling is not based on a finding that there was no collusion between defendants and Russia during the 2016 presidential election," Huvelle wrote. "This is the wrong forum for plaintiffs’ lawsuit. The Court takes no position on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims."

But Russia didn't elect Trump. The American people did.

Actually he got 3,000,000 fewer votes.

Bush didn't win a majority either, and his Daddy's appointments got him elected. Remember how that one ended?

Think what sellouts and how disloyal that House crew is. How are they not criminally charged for this? I have been so right, for so long, about how these "conservatives" could give two shits less about this country.

It's just too bad that the popular vote doesn't elect the president. Why didn't somebody tell Hillary?

 

[purkey]

you just can't explain it out for some of these guys...it's like stats from a baseball game (or any competitive sport)...they don't matter, only the score. It's called "WINNING". Winning the popular vote means little...but keep hanging your hat on that accomplishment that means nothing. You don't want to sound like some big loser who can't come up with a real reason why they lost. The constant repeating of that just makes you look dumber and dumber...it's like a child who doesn't understand the word NO.

I love the victory laps... still.

So speaking of basic question, why do you guys think Russia wanted Biff to win?

 

[CowboyPhil]

Putin has met Hillary and wouldn't wish her on even his worse enemy.

well, they agreed with us...thank goodness. Can you imagine the corrupt mess that would be going on if she had won. Those russians are true Patriots.

 

[Medic007]

You brought it up... again.

So speaking of basic question, why do you guys think Russia wanted Biff to win?

Are you purposefully devoid of knowledge of Hillary's history with Putin? And after Iraq, Libya was a terrible idea.

I love how Purket and Phil go for pure snark in the face of such an obvious question. Medic came closest to a real answer -- the thug had personal animosity towards Hillary (but apparently not Biff.) Of course, there's several other countries where Russia went with the authoritarian thugs too, but that's for another day I suppose.

 

[Medic007]

That's not much of an answer to my question to you. Why would Putin have any animosity toward Hillary?

Has Biff previously held an appointed government position like SOS where he would have had the opportunity to overthrow a sovereign government or meddle in the foreign affairs of others?

3/10. Might get some bites.

Necause she's pro-democracy and opposed to his fellow authoritarian. Duh. He wants america and western democracies to fail and Biff = just that.

Have you zero sense of history and reality? Why are you people going into fits over things Russia does that our country has done and will continue to do? Don’t you see you are being used by this story? Van Jones told us it was nothing. Wake up and get after the real grievances your side should be getting into.

Russian Nazi white ice agents hunting down the browns drowns out legitimate beefs with this administration. See scott Pruitt. Dude should be fired but your media can’t get it to stick because there are nazis running around everywhere!!

But, she wanted her participation trophy.

 

[anon_xl72qcu5isp39]

aaaaand nobody can give you guys a better softball to explain why Putin was so pro-Russia. ICE, immigration, Van Jones, nazis, everything but an answer to such a fundamental question.

President Trump

Hail to the Chief

Why do you think Mexico wanted Hillary to win

 

[Medic007]

Huh? Is that what Think Progress told you? It's a little more complicated than that. You will have to look at actual history and be able to understand that Hillary isn't actually perfect to be able to grasp it though.

 

[anon_xl72qcu5isp39]

Why do you think Mexico wanted Hillary to win

Because she's not the one that called them thieves, murderers, rapists and swore up and down she'd make them pay for a wall? Just a guess. Why do you think?

If someone ever deprives you of strawmen you'll have nothing to say.

Maybe he thought she would make a terrible president??

 

[Bitter Creek]

I'm guessing they wanted unbridled access to the US and knew that the libs would push Hillary to provide it

 

[anon_xl72qcu5isp39]

Maybe he thought she would make a terrible president??

So he wanted what's best for America?

I'm guessing they wanted unbridled access to the US and knew that the libs would push Hillary to provide it

Ah. Had nothing to do with him saying he'd make Mexico pay for the wall. It had nothing to do with his "rapists and murderers" comments.

Wait... did Mexico help Hillary?

 

[Bitter Creek]

perhaps she won that all important popular vote runner up trophy because of them

Yes, Mexico helped Hillary.

Illegal votes had a more tangible impact on the election than twitter bots.

 

[HighStickHarry]

Having hillary as President was only going to be good for those linked to the clintons financially. It was better for Russia and America.

I think we have now reached the answer you were seeking.

Yeah, but the Russian dudes handing out the $50 bills outside the polls didn't hurt, either.
