McConnell Covered Up CIA Reports That Russian Hacks Were Aimed At Electing Trump
By Karoli Kuns 12/09/16 10:33pm — UPDATED: 12/10/16 12:56am

According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the CIA concluded that Russia actively interfered in the election not just to destabilize our political system, but to actively elect Donald Trump.

This conclusion was not something they just pulled out of thin air. Intelligence agencies had arrived at their conclusion in September, and briefed a bipartisan group in the Senate and House about it then, along with President Obama. The President wanted to go forward with a full disclosure of the report, but Mitch McConnell quashed it, threatening to taint any disclosure with the claim that it was being made merely for political gain.

McConnell was willing to let the Russians meddle in the election because his guy was getting the benefit of their work. This is outrageous.

“It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia’s 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. “That’s the consensus view.”

In other words, there was active interference on the part of Russia not simply to destabilize our politics, but to actively elect one candidate over another.

2. If our sorry Media does not run with this,

nothing matters. This was a Political Coup much the same as 1940's when the Fred Koch and other Rich People went after FDR,only this time they pulled it off.

This is not going to end well,hunch says the Stock Market will reflect this story about 4 PM tomorrow. This could be the tipping point.

It is all about the MONEY BABY!!!!!!

10. There are so many people linked to Putin/Trump

it boggles the mind. I have been following this since the election. Since my dear hubby said something doesn't smell right-he was stunned-shocked-on 11/8 and on 11/9 he said Russians? So I started looking at the ENDLESS connections-the russian trolls-all the Russians involved with Trump-even the neo Nazi guy Richard Spencer has a Russian wife that is a propagandist! It's endless truly. Then I started following this guy on twitter who is from Ukraine and he knows that Putin steals elections. We are not crazy. This is happening.

13. This is a HUGE story too

because the oppositional information that was gleaned from this hack may be what "convinced" Cruz and Kasich to give up and elicited "support" from some of the others which paved the way for trump.

[SHRED]

9. And our Democratic leaders sat on their hands

11. stunning....

jesus fucking christ....

[bucolic_frolic]

18. If Obama and the White House has released the information pre-election

they would have been branded as pursuing partisan politics, and no one
would have believed them anyway

Perhaps they didn't quite have the goods at that point; without the
outcome of the crime, could the efforts be branded a crime?

Now we have a different ball game

12. Covered up? What about Obama-the most powerful man in the world?

He had the info too.

[LiberalLovinLug]

16. Yes....where was the President?

Shrinking back in cowardice simply because McConnell threatened to go to the media with claims of partisanship? THEY DO THAT ALL THE TIME ANYWAY!

Obama has shirked from the bully pulpit from day one, where he could have used his gifted oratory skills to educate and win over skeptics brainwashed by MSM and GOP stooges. If there was any one time to use it, it was this summer when definitive proof came in. Who cares if the Republicans scream bloody murder? This SHOULD be an issue that transcends party loyality. He could have framed it that way and McConnell could have come out looking like the partisan fool.

14. Treason!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. Get his fugly self in prison.

Oh please. And good riddance.

Gee, bet when he told the public that his mission would be to block Obama...I bet Putin thought, "yeah. There's a BFF for me."
