RED ALERT: The common FUD meme across multiple forums on this bombshell is now "evidence"

Here's the retort

FUD's main counter to the WAPO story is the false argument of setting a high or false bar

- There was ENOUGH evidence for the CIA to go to congress on the issue, no one is disputing that at all... that there's ENOUGH evidence to talk about it is actionable ENOUGH.

- That there was an outside state actor who weighed in on one of the candidates is HORRIBLE and actionable in and of itself. Whether or not they were a factor is IRRELEVANT (kinda like attempted murder is a jail-able offense in and of itself) that it was done is though.

- Benedict Donald and his Band Of Bigots is NOT... NOT denying any of the reports that Russia helped him at all.

- Benedict Donald INVITED the Russians to intervene on behalf of himself before election day

Side notes

- In the WAPO story Turtle McFuckLips not only denied a joint statement but a bipartisan effort in PROTECTION OF THE STATE LEVEL BALLOT MACHINES !!!


P.S. CIA RETORT - Today's CIA is not the same CIA as 13 years ago... that has worked so far in shutting the red herring of an argument up

That some of DU's alt-left are now promoting the Republican defense is, sadly, unsurprising.

it was a bit curious to watch Sean Spicer employ this laughable defense, then to log on and suddenly see it deployed in a handful of OPs.

I'm guessing that the DU swamp has been restocked?

... because he couldn't help himself to totally keep the secret that they were already involved. A little bit of gleeful braggadocio... Same as claiming the election was rigged, right out in the open, because you knew it was in fact rigged for you.

His ego is so great he could not possibly restrain himself from alluding to the 'rigged' election. This is the nature of DFT; the bullshit and bluster always has a deep grain of truth.
