Did Russia Interfere With The U.S. Elections?

     Since their defeat on November 8 liberals have been looking for scapegoats to explain how Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump—an unexpected outcome that many on the left seem literally unable to process and accept. First, Hillary and her minions blamed the FBI and its director, James Comey, for allegedly throwing the election to Trump by announcing that the Bureau was reopening its investigation of Emailgate—then pulling back.  When blaming the FBI proved insufficient to explain away Hillary’s defeat, her allies in the mainstream media turned their spotlight on an alleged plague of “fake news” that supposedly transformed millions of low-information citizens into Trump’s dupes. While there undeniably is a problem here—as in the age of the Internet wholly false, indeed absurd stories can gain traction for a time before they are debunked—this problem is hardly present on the right-wing only. Not to mention that more than a few MSM mavens are willing to term as “false” certain stories which they merely don’t like and don’t want to talk about.




     This brings us to the Russians, the ultimate election bogeyman. Since it’s a fact that Putin and his covert operatives interfered with our election in a propaganda sense  bitter-ender liberals have now decided that Kremlin hacking threw the election to Trump. The president-elect is therefore illegitimate and, presumably, Hillary can now move into the Oval Office which the left considers rightfully hers.  A secret assessment conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency confirms that yes, Russia deliberately meddled in the U.S. presidential election. And no, they didn’t do it just to undermine confidence in the American election system, they did it to help Donald Trump win.  And all before Dec 19 so that the electors can make a decision that won't haunt them for the rest of their lives.  Some of the most ardent advocates of this Kremlin-did-it conspiracy theory were big fans of Snowden and Wikileaks—right until clandestine Russian shenanigans started to hurt Democrats. Now, they’re panicking.  The Liberals sure seemed fond of Russia when the country was redistributing wealth, suppressing free speech, and on a crusade to end capitalism. Lately, not so much.



     President Obama  has been completely inept president in foreign affairs, talking complete nonsense about US decline, weakly dealing with the Middle East in a horrible way, and Putin stepped into the vacuum.  Obama promised to “reset” the U.S. relationship with Russia, and he succeeded: Russia went from disliking, but respecting, America and President Bush, to loathing, and looking down upon, America and, especially, her president.  Obama promised that he would fundamentally change America. Those who weren’t paying attention were stupid to think that this promise was a good thing. It’s not. It’s a very, very bad thing, and the jackals, including the big, bad, oil rich Russian jackal, are beginning to circle.  Obama has gutted the US military . America will no longer be a superpower if we continue with this course. But that's what Obama wanted to level the playing field were there is no superpower anymore.

 

     And Hillary Clinton has the same worldview as President Obama, so she would act much the same way.  So ask yourself why Russia would not want another president just like Obama?    Would not the Russian's want someone like Hillary that would continue the gutting of the US military?



     Our Intelligence Community has been on high alert for months, looking for evidence of Russian interference in our election. If they have any—it would almost certainly come from NSA and be classified Top Secret-plus—it has beyond any doubt been shared with the White House. And that information would be so politically significant that the spies would find a way for President Obama to share that information first with Congress, then with the public (the latter albeit in highly redacted form).
To date, we have heard nothing but rumors. Without any delivered evidence what-so-ever, the Times and Post are selling the deflective White House/Democrat “blame Russia” narrative by pointing to intelligence agencies including the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper – and the Director of the CIA John Brennan.   Even if there is no direct connection between the Russian government and those who supposedly acted to interfere in the U.S. elections, it makes perfect sense that Moscow might have been orchestrating such a scheme from behind the scenes. There’s one simple reason to assume this: It’s common for governments to interfere with elections in other countries. The governments of Russia, the United States, and several other nations do so all the time.

     Therefore, either the Intelligence Community has no evidence of Russian hacking of our election, or the president has decided to sit on that explosive information. Which would make Obama part of this Vast Right Wing Plus Kremlin Conspiracy. It’s binary, there is no third option here. Liberals need to make up their minds.
