    Pretty much accepted fact that Putin is screwing around with the west's democratic processes but this is just another exhibit in the stockpile of evidence that will bring about the end of this administration.

    I see a lot of claims.

    What I'm not seeing is any facts.

    And Obama tried to influence the Israeli election results, plotting against Netanyahu.

    "The current and former U.S. officials spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the Russian documents' classified status."

    Same evidence you have that Susan Rice ordered "tapps" on Donald Trump's phone.

    I don't know who Susan rice is or anything about "tapps" on a phone.... so I don't have any clue what you are talking. I do notice though that you can't provide any evidence.

    "The current and former U.S. officials spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the Russian documents' classified status. They declined to discuss how the United States obtained them. U.S. intelligence agencies also declined to comment on them."

    Yaaawwwnnnnn....more madeup nonsense....

    Read the article and use your ability to think critically. It will be apparent.

    Wasn't the DNC hacked long before Trump was the Republican nominee?

    ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

    If there was Russian influence what are you guys going to do about it? It's too late, the election is over, your side lost.

    This is not an admission that Russia did anything, it's to see where you guys ultimately want to take this. Do you even know?

    "Russian government think tank controlled by Vladimir Putin developed a plan to swing the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Donald Trump and undermine voters' faith in the American electoral system, three current and four former U.S. officials told Reuters."

    And the GOP doesn't care. I think their American flag lapel pins need to be confiscated. You can't have it both ways - either country first or party first.

    Yawn. Dubious accusations from the right-wing to try and misdirect attention away from Trump's corrupt administration.

    It's getting hard to tell who are the Russian bots and who are simply deluded right-wingers these days.

    Actually, its getting harder to go through a 24 hour news cycle that isn't hijacked with "bombshells" that full of claims but void of proof.

    But hey it appeals to your confirmation bias and lets you hurl comments like this so you're all in, am I right?

    Here's an overview of this article...
    So, basically it's just more #fakenews from unnamed unidentified anonymous sources.

    The alt-left have completely lost it.

    All very important breadcrumbs leading us to the nefarious actions of the highly corrupt Trump Administration.

    Shouldn't you be starting another thread on how Susan Rice personally ordered the surveillance of the Trump Admin on a purely partisan basis?

    YOU'RE accusing ME of confirmation bias? Have your read ANY of your own posts? :roflol:

    I'll be standing by, awaiting any proof of any kind to support any of the fake news driven conspiracy theories the Leftist media has drummed up since taking their complete and much deserved ass whooping on November 8th.

    The US screwed around with the democratic processes of 81 foreign states, between 1946-2000, not including coups.

    You might want to "do unto others" before whining.
