Proof Russian hacking of US Election Campaign

of

What was the proof ?

Just clicked.  It is yet another tool to clobber trumpt with.  Watch sky's version.  NSA boss talking about faith in politicians.  Veiled criticism of trump because he has dismissed these stories. How have they interfered with the vote??  What have they actually done.  Would be good if they told us. Why don't they say.  Or is it a state secret.
I am glad the USA has never interfered  in another countries affairs.  Obama never did.  He was just helping us to make the right decision over Brexit, which was very kind of him.

The US intelligence chief has promised to explain why Russia allegedly meddled in the US presidential election.

Director of National Intelligence General James Clapper said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the hack of Democratic Party emails, and the motive will be revealed next week.

But Mr Clapper stopped short of saying it was "an act of war".

Russia has denied involvement but the US has announced sanctions against Russian officials.

A report on foreign meddling in US elections was given to President Barack Obama on Thursday.

President-elect Donald Trump is to be briefed on the report on Friday and the unclassified version will be made public next week.

Top US intelligence officials were giving testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee investigating the alleged interference.

In their assessment, Moscow interfered to help Mr Trump, the Republican candidate, beat Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Asked by a congressman if they "will ascribe a motivation to Putin", Mr Clapper replied "yes, we will ascribe motivation".

Mr Clapper described the Russian efforts as a "multifaceted campaign", which featured "classical propaganda, disinformation, [and] fake news".

In joint testimony prepared for the hearing, officials said Russia had an advanced cyber-programme that posed a major threat to a wide range of US interests.

"Russia is a full-scope cyber-actor that poses a major threat to US government, military, diplomatic, commercial and critical infrastructure," the testimony said.

It was written by Mr Clapper, Marcel Lettre, Undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, and Admiral Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency.

Senator McCain, in opening the session, reminded the panel that they were not there to "question the outcome of the presidential election".

Obama never did.  He was just helping us to make the right decision over Brexit, which was very kind of him.

Bang on.

Despicable C4 as usual. They hate democracy.

The above c&p was from BBC

Channel 4 news is a total joke. Have they covered the black people beating up the white disabled guy shouting anti-trump slogans yet?
And if they did - did they turn it around to blame Trump for making black people so angry? That's the sort of thing I'd expect them to do, no joke.
And of course also throw a bit of side blame at brexit and assad.

If 4 white guys beat up a black disabled guy shouting pro trump slogans, they'd devote the first 30 minutes of the program to it.

if the news doesnt happen just make it up

Trump is the anti-christ.....let's get that straight !

Some very naive types on here.

Forget party politics for a moment but do you really believe that a Russian asset will have an easy ride being POTUS?

^ I think we can ignore that nonsense

Trump will not last 3 months

2.0 he will not get to be president

the funny thing about trump was the stories he was in hock to the chinese

now its the russians

its like the plot for a film that nobody would dare write

Putin is looking forward to having a POTUS who will turn a blind eye to his expansionist ambitions

^ You think the CIA will let that happen ?

why should it worry America what Russia does ? it's not a problem to them.

lfc1971 the forum autist

The world has changed and trump is ahead of the game

Trump is a loose canon.

The enemy is no longer communism or Russia, its terrorism and religious maniacs. I think thats a problem for Europe now

If Russia was to invade Eastern Europe and bring back a form of communism and put a stop to Islam would that be something to worry about ? no

What would Trump do then, well why should he do anything ?

Putin certainly hopes he won't do anything

So Putin invades Nato countries and Nato does nothing thus negating it, or world war 3 kicks off?
You do realise we already have troops over there?

Trump doesn't want NATO it's too expensive

It's not americas problem, it's Europes problem

Oh dear Trump threatening Toyota

TBH LFC from your viewpoint it's not the east european countries who are the problem in the first place, countries like Poland and Hungary etc are showing a lot of common sense during the recent migrant disaster and the EU give them stick for it. It's idiotic countries like Germany and Sweden and our home grown lefttards like Labour and the SNP who are the problem. Putin would be better skipping Eastern Europe and invading Germany and Glasgow to enforce some common sense

Trump never said he didn't want nato he just wanted the slackers who weren't pulling their weight to up spending to the agreed levels, instead of making the US pay the bill for their own defence as is the case now. And he's right.

Yes that crossed my mind, it would be all of Europe and Britain, now what would be gained and lost for America, or ourselves.
Don't forget that in Europe and Britain there are millions of people who would like to bring about s system snd way of life totally foreign to western freedom and democracy.
So who and what would be saved and why ?

"Don't forget that in Europe and Britain there are millions of people who would like to bring about s system snd way of life totally foreign to western freedom and democracy."

Enough about Corbyn, the Greens and the SNP, that's a different discussion

: )

"A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent."

Exactly. Like saying Trump doesn't want Nato, your only other contribution to this thread.
