    CNN reported that US intelligence chiefs presented President-elect Donald Trump and President Obama with documents that claim Russian operatives believe they have “compromising personal and financial information” about Trump. The report also included allegations that a “continuing exchange of information” occurred “between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government” during the 2016 presidential campaign. Veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein reported that FBI officials are currently “investigating the credibility and accuracy of these allegations.

    Say hello to President Pence

    Radio host Alex Jones recently appeared on a Russian television program where he was feted by pro-Kremlin commentators as a “hero” who exposed "the war crimes of Hillary Clinton” and “told the truth while everyone else lied” during the 2016 presidential campaign. The station’s editorial director, who has been nicknamed "Putin's Rasputin," also described Donald Trump’s electoral win to Jones as “when you and him and all of us won.”

    Jones, a prominent conspiracy theorist and one of President-elect Donald Trump’s key media allies, appeared on a late December broadcast of Tsargrad TV’s Our Point of View. In a segment on his show about the appearance, Jones bragged about the alleged influence of the Tsargrad TV program, claiming it was “Vladimir Putin’s favorite TV show” and “it’s private media -- a couple of these guys are Putin advisers, I mean, top Putin advisers.”

    Foreign Policy wrote in October 2015 that the recently launched Tsargrad TV aims “to put a conservative yet modern spin on global news.” Founder Konstantin Malofeev is a Russian tycoon who is “one of Putin’s loudest ideological supporters.” The magazine reported that “while some oligarchs who tried to get involved in TV in the early 2000s were exiled or jailed under Putin’s new regime, Malofeev is so far enjoying carte blanche with his channel, which he boasts is even more patriotic than the Kremlin’s own state-run TV stations.” Slate called Malofeev “one of Vladimir Putin’s favorite businessmen” and said he has “close ties to the Kremlin elite.

    FBI Director James Comey confirmed that state and local voter databases were breached by Russian hackers and data obtained.

    They stopped short of saying that the data had any effect on the election, claiming they saw no evidence that the databases were used on Election Day.

    There are a lot of ways to use voter databases, and one of the most effective is use in data modeling for GOTV efforts and microtargeting individuals. It only takes 1 or 2 voters peeled off in each precinct to drastically change election outcomes, and it's not easily provable.

    Do tell. Is this Russia's method of loading up the homeless and illegals on buses complete with free bottles of Mad Dog 20-20 and delivering to the polling place? Guess Dims need to step up and innovate from their old low-tech methods.:roflol:

    Say hello to the military industrial complex's intelligence arm trying desperately to hang on to their Jobs.

    Is it not amazing to see this sudden burgeoning love affair between the American Left and America's intelligence apparatus? Politics do indeed make strange bedfellows.

    I wouldn't go this far with predicting the future. First of all, I do not believe in these allegations due to their immediate appearance after Hillary's defeat was proclaimed and not during the actual election! Secondly, I highly doubt that there is going to be some sort of impeachment as there will no evidence (either because there was no hacking at all or simply because it's impossible to gather evidence).

    No confirmation just opinion when they say high or medium confidence.

    Don't you think that is how Hillary actually won the popular vote?

    Desperation, party of one, your table is ready.
    Originally not being a Trump supporter, I have become a great fan. Not because won, but because he has exposed lefties for the idiots they really are.
