Unless you catch "hackers" in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn't this brought up before election?

@realDonaldTrump It was. You knew about it, the RNC knew about it, the CIA knew about it, the FBI knew about it. #CrookedDonaldski

Trump Told Russia To Blame for Hacks Long Before Debate

by Robert Windrem and William M. Arkin
[Clinton: 'We Deserve Answers' on Russian Involvement]




Clinton: 'We Deserve Answers' on Russian Involvement 0:46

During Sunday's debate, Donald Trump once again said he doesn't know whether Russia is trying to hack the U.S. election, despite Friday's statement by the U.S. intelligence community pointing the finger at Putin -- and despite the fact that Trump was personally briefed on Russia's role in the hacks by U.S. officials.

A senior U.S. intelligence official assured NBC News that cybersecurity and the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election have been briefed to, and discussed extensively with, both parties' candidates, surrogates and leadership, since mid-August. "To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation," said the official. "..................

On Sunday, Trump disputed the idea there was any hack at all. "I notice, anytime anything wrong happens, they like to say the Russians are — [Hillary Clinton] doesn't know if it's the Russians doing the hacking. Maybe there is no hacking," Trump told moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News. "But they always blame Russia. And the reason they blame Russia because they think they're trying to tarnish me with Russia. I know nothing about Russia."
[Trump: 'I Don't Know Putin']
Trump: 'I Don't Know Putin' 2:12

It's the second time in two debates that Trump has declined to acknowledge that the hacks, mostly on Democratic targets, are real, much less that Russia is behind them.

"I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC. She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't -- maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China," he told NBC's Lester Holt on Sept. 26. "It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK?"

But weeks prior to the first debate, Trump had already been told privately by the intelligence community that the Russians were implicated. ..........................

1. Didn't Hillary bring it up in one of the debates?

I remember her saying that "seventeen intelligence agencies" were behind the hacking.

4. Yes she did, the good thing is he's tweeting about it means its getting to him to some degree

... and it looks like around the mixed isle forums its getting to his Band Of Bigots.

They understand he's illegitimate now... the problem with that is illegitimate leaders often feel they need to shut patriots up with false flag ops so they can do what the fuck they want to.

[wordpix]

9. he's really lying it up for all to see, not that Trumpsters care

[KittyWampus]

35. with him slagging the CIA, I think false flag is unlikely. Trump and his Flying Monkey

are being watched.

IMO, this has decreased the likelihood of another Sept 11th.

And if anything happens under Trump, his not taking Intelligence briefings and his antipathy towards the CIA would rebound on him and his entire coterie.

[NewJeffCT]

26. I think she brought it up in two of the debates

but, who cares, she sent emails from her own server.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Oy...Someone brought it up

[femmocrat]

5. Thank you!

That clip should be shown over and over on every news show. (Like that would happen.)

[BeyondGeography]

14. He's a clown and most of his supporters lost their political minds a long time ago

Cynical as I am, it amazes me how far we've sunk in this country.

[femmocrat]

21. Stephanie Miller played an audio clip this morning.

She's been doing a better job on this travesty than a lot of MSM.

[oldtime dfl_er]

27. It pains me to say this

but I think her words were not taken serously for two reasons: first, Trump had lowered the bar on truth so far that there was a false equivalency that nothing anyone said in the debates could be taken as true, and second, she's a woman. Nobody listens to women when they raise these kinds of alarms.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

7. He was too busy trying to remember what Aleppo was to focus

[NastyRiffraff]

16. I don't see how she could have been more clear

She called out Trump as a Putin puppet, which of course he was and is.

[maddiemom]

17. No, SHE'S the puppet!

What did this even MEAN? (except "Nyah, Nyah, Nyah. So's your mother.&quot

[cilla4progress]

29. Is there a name for this? Projecting, maybe?

It's the same thing kelleyanne conway does when she routinely turns everything around to a diss on HIllary, when reporters, etc. try to throw stuff at Trump.

They must have it on a big white board in their headquarters.

How did they succeed at this? It's so obvious and so stupid.

[BeyondGeography]

24. It will go down as one of the best responses in presidential debate history

For the saddest of reasons.

[SamKnause]

3. I hope he is too dumb to be a successful dictator.

[femmocrat]

22. The problem with that is that he is surrounded by evil people who are smarter than he is.

And we all know he is easily manipulated by praise, fawning, and adoration. They know how to play him.

[etherealtruth]

33. He is, but his henchmen and henchwomen are not :-(

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

6. Twitter needs to add a fact-check system for tweets getting more than 5000 likes

A link to the 3rd debate will autoplay when you read his tweet

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. that would be great. Maddow showed a poll last week that said Trump voters

believe unemployment had risen under Obama. We have GOT to figure out a creative way to combat the disinformation and propaganda in a simple, very simple, way that won't cause these people to have to actually read too much.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. See, I think he is such a megalomaniac that he can't help

himself but to leak out some little innuendo about a future event. Isn't that a very odd way to speak?
"I hope they do...because you'd see some beauties there."

Think the natural comment would be "because you'd probably see some beauties there."

Didn't he make a similar comment on the Wikileaks comment before the DNC/Podesta hack?

[spanone]

11. this guy trump is dangerously ignorant.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. He should ask Mitch McConnell.

[Protalker]

30. McConnell got paid off

Odd that his wife is now a cabinet member. Croney capitalism or traitor?

[riversedge]

13. The intelligence community issued a warning on October 7. More than a month before the election.

15. The fake news trolls are out in force on twitter for Twitler.

It's easy to see who they are--they have thousands of tweets, few followers, and their names don't match their @ "addresses" because they have changed up the avatars and display names.

[riversedge]

31. and lots of them have 'deplorable' as their names!!

[MADem]

32. The other "tell" is the "TrumpWon" #hashtag.

Following some, but very few followers.


Also, the names will often not match the @address. You'll see an avatar of a buxom woman, with a title name of Ann or Sue or something like that, and the @ name (which cannot be changed) will be "Joe SixPack" or "UnionMan" or something like that.

Those trolls at least believe in sustainability--they "recycle" their accounts routinely.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Gaslighting. eom

[cab67]

19. Donald the Laughing Stock

I've always thought we should adopt the convention of using a descriptive term after a president's name, the way European kingdoms and empires did for their rulers - Richard the Lion-Heart, Peter the Great, Charles the Bald, and so on.

Donald the Laughing-Stock works for me.

[usedtobedemgurl]

20. I honestly thought that was someone mocking Trump....

because I did not think anyone was stupid enough to say that.

25. Just to show what a farce is in the media

60 Minutes for the last two weeks has been reporting what BS.

They bring Netanyahu on concerning the Iran.

While back in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Florida we have (3 possibly 4 ) state governments basically shutting down a recount request by a individual that was on a presidential ballot that wanted a recount, but nope, no investigation as too why and how, the political corruption is taking the system down the rabbit hole, hear any news on that issue, to give a full detailed debate--------------nope, it Les Mooves wanting to make money on his commercials of selling a drug for sex and making money for the shareholders, after all that's whats important, making money on Wall Street.

They could have brought on Steven Rosenfeld to just discuss this for the 60 minutes, and "republican fascist to explain why not, but nope, we get dancing or some other item or story

http://www.nationalmemo.com/foreign-government-hack-election/

Then we have the "the" possible and strong evidence that Russia interfered in a presidential election, like hacking the DNC servers, thru Wikileakes ( has anyone heard anything from that site lately------nope, because that is really strange, like finally 2+2 does =4 ) possible vote rigging in the three above states. Is it just me or am I really don't see the link, because it does look like there is a link.

Nope they could have brought on Steven Rosenfeld to discuss this also for the 60 minutes

http://www.nationalmemo.com/russian-hacking-harmed-clinton-campaign/

Then we have this serial predator who thinks, the CIA is lying about the hacking ( hell he doesn't go to intelligence briefings, 2 only and counting the last time anyone reported on this matter, because what he said was, that if he goes to them they tell him nothing has changed from the last meeting, what an ass****), if that was the case why is Comey FBI and his cronies trying to create mis-information on the meeting by everyone in the secure room in Washington, that the CIA says there is a very strong evidence that this election was tainted by a state actor called Russia, and then turtle lips fascist McConnell, says there is no veracity. Let me think this f***er turtle voted for a war based on information from the CIA, during the Bush years, that was made up, and he was given information that the dead terrorist was going to do something and he just blew it off.


The serial predator and everyone involved knew what was going on and they quashed the information from the public, they didn't want to disrupt an election that was already tainted. And then after the fact we now get the information, this is total BS.

I believe that we should re-vote on paper ballots and have it done by hand on the re-count, this is outrageous.

This is just BS, it really is, total BS

34. Nothing to see here. Trump is completely normal. Yup.

Totally normal. Like a polar bear on the streets of El Paso or tofu & vegetables at a cattle rancher's dinner.
