Somebody's got to stop this and some bodies need to hang for this.

I of course know no one will in either case, but this is beyond insane. In times passed, people would have swung for treason and crimes against the State.

In a righteous America, someone would correct this horrible election and put Hillary in office.

I'm so disappointed with the lack of guts.

I guess they assumed Hillary had it but regardless the voter should have been informed - by the democrats over the bitching of the republicans

One thing the Obama Administration doesn't do is break the law, which has proven to be a disadvantage when working against the GOP.

But that didn't stop the CIA from screaming it in their loudest whisper:

And it didn't stop the President from stepping into the race himself, to warn everyone, within the week. The problem is that as soon as he did, the four-out-of-ten Americans who are racist idiots automatically decided the opposite must be true.

One thing that really bothers me is the FBI leak a week before the election. That's now looking to have come straight from Moscow, which suggests that our counterintelligence agency may already be penetrated and turned.

Dark days ahead, no matter what.

of some of those turned agents.

Good point that Obama and admin do not break the law. But in this case getting the information out would not be breaking the law as far as I understand.

... Theoretically, the FBI is in charge of domestic counterintelligence, while the CIA's province is supposed to be outside of the US. The last Clinton smear emerged directly from the FBI, not the CIA.

The popular vote winner needs to be the president because she is ready to do the job. There is nobody else available who would not be seen as completely illegitimate because that person never was a nominee for the job.
