Trump favorite for State Dept. John Bolton tries to shift 2016 hacking blame from Russia to Obama



http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/trump-favorite-for-state-dept-john-bolton-tries-to-shift-2016-hacking-blame-from-russia-to-obama/

TheHill.com reported that Bolton told Fox News’ Eric Shawn, “It is not at all clear to me, just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC was not a false flag operation.”

“We just don’t know,” he said.

A “false flag” attack is when a government or armed group attack their allies or stage a phony attack in order to stir up aggression against an enemy.

Bolton — who Pres. George W. Bush appointed as ambassador to the United Nations in a 2005 recess appointment after Congress refused to confirm him — professed to believe that Russia is being unfairly maligned as part of a master plan by Democrats.

This country has never faced the rise of a dictator like this. It's at the stage where Obama might have to step in. This is getting really insane.

Republican minds get stuck on the stupidest fucking
buzzwords and then proceed to overuse them into inanity.
Hey rightwingers, go false flag yourself.
