this is also Breaking News @ WaPo
The CIA shared its latest assessment with key senators in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill last week, citing a growing body of intelligence from multiple sources.
Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others, including Hillary Clintons campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials. Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clintons chances.
It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russias goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected, said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators. Thats the consensus view.
The Obama administration has been debating for months how to respond to the alleged Russian intrusions, with White House officials concerned about escalating tensions with Moscow and being accused of trying to boost Clintons campaign.

"Ivanka Trump is vacationing with Rupert Murdochs ex-wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, who is rumored to be dating Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump posted a photo of the two in Croatia on Sunday."
Of course, there's the usual "plausable deniablility" swirling around Deng's association with Pewtie, but, there's no denying her association with Murdoch and by extension Roger "Serial Rapist" Ailes.

I don't know this country anymore. I feel like we should do something but I don't know what. I'm just lost.

A public letter released by FBI Director Putin Operative James Comey about some inconsequential unrelated emails rumored to be on a third party computer. We never really knew HOW Comey learned those emails were possibly on there... Maybe, Putin told him?
I am sick.
