Harry Reid: The Trump Campaign ‘Was In On’ Russia’s Election Hacking
The outgoing Senate minority leader says the Electoral College has a “tremendous responsibility” on its hands.

Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with WikiLeaks in the runup to the presidential election to damage Hillary Clinton, outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) charged on Monday.

Reid, who has sharply criticized FBI Director James Comey for sitting on intelligence connecting Russian operatives and the Trump campaign, said he was unsure if Trump himself was aware of the activity. But he said people in Trump’s orbit certainly were.

“Someone in the Trump campaign organization was in on the deal. I have no doubt. Now, whether they told [Trump] or not, I don’t know. I assume they did. But there is no question about that,” Reid said in an interview with The Huffington Post. “So there is collusion there, clearly.”

“Don’t put blindfolds on,” he said. “Here is the deal: We have a situation where during the campaign, especially the last few months of the campaign, WikiLeaks was heavily involved in trying to hurt Hillary Clinton and it helped Trump. And you have Trump who said he likes Putin better than he likes Obama.”

1. THIS IS HOW WE NEED TO FIGHT THEM.

MORE OF THIS PLEASE!

[thejoker123]

8. I mean one can't even fathom

if this was Hillary Clinton and her campaign. It's literally unthinkable what the right and the media would do.

Not only would it be laughable to think her campaign would be over, but she'd likely be in federal court.

[Maven]

10. Yup. They'd be on air talking about everything from impeachment on day 1 to firing squads. nt

[uponit7771]

11. Yes, continue to make noise... fuck their responses... AT THE LEAST delegitimize Benedict Donald's

... whole fuckin admin under a cloud of treason.

[workinclasszero]

15. "whole fuckin admin under a cloud of treason"

That's exactly right, Sen. Reid.

Wake the eff up, America!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. There you are folks.

And Harry would not go public on his own.

[NastyRiffraff]

6. Harry Reid is making the most of his waning moments

in the Senate. He's also calling out James Comey.

[uponit7771]

12. +1, per WAPO it looks like the FBI is the lone agency on who the hacking helped or who it was for

[world wide wally]

7. As long as you got a backbone,

We got your back

[Leith]

9. That's My Senator

Man, I'm going to miss not having him in the Senate. I hope that Masto will be a firebrand like Reid.

13. subpoena

Is there anyway subpoena records and induce testimony under oath from Trump's campaign?

Harry Reid is telling it like it is because he is outgoing and has no political restrain. I trust him wholeheartedly.

Electors need to fulfill their constitutional duty. If their duty was to simply cast vote in agreement with the state then their existence is not needed. Once in the US history, they are asked to follow constitution and not state law.

14. Every Democratic Congress Person

needs to be out front talking about the Treason of Donald Trump, on every news outlet in every paper, in every blog, and they need to start demanding Republicans in Congress start serious investigations into this, this makes Watergate pale in comparison. What did Trump know and when did he know it?

[Generator]

16. Of course they were

Russians owning us? No prob. Who knows-some of these craven people would do anything for power. Anything. They are scum.

[workinclasszero]

18. Republicans choose party over country

They have sold out America for decades the dirty traitors!

[kentuck]

17. Holy Crap!

That would be treason! For real.

[yardwork]

19. LOCK TRUMP UP.

[mchill]

20. My immediate gut feeling

He cannot survive this if true. He was basically using Russian espionage to defeat his opponent.

[workinclasszero]

21. Which is treason or possibly sedation

What is the penalty for treason?

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and ...

18 US Code § 2381 - Treason - Legal Information Institute
www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2381

Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a crime under United States law. It is stated as follows:

“If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

22. Does he have any evidence?

If so, now would be a grand time to present it.

[mchill]

23. Harry seems to know

Thinking about Romney's taxes. He probably cannot release the evidence, but if Trump receiving briefings, would the Intelligencia brief Trump on his campaign consulting with Wikileaks?

[humbled_opinion]

24. Can we launch a legal appeal of the election

based on CIA analysis that it was hacked?
