It's not every day you have a political party so corrupt and unguarded. Play the slots everyday and nobody notices until you hit the jackpot

A couple things Dems could have done to completely eliminate any Russian power to influence

1: Don't rig your primary, collude with your MSM, stage false flags

Or

2: Don't employ shite cyber security to defend the evidence of said unethical practices

^ if 1 or 2, no Russian influence

how should the rest of the world react to the USA for doing it to them for the last 50 years?

How should the US respond to Obama interfering in the election is the better question.

This really is a MUCH bigger deal and it is obvious that his admin flat out did it.

I mean, I expect our global competitors to not give a frick about our electoral system.

We know that some IPs seems to show this.
We also know that the CIA and NSA can mask IPs and actually leave foreign "fingerprints" to hide their own activities
We also know that DHS attempted to illegally access two state election systems (IN & GA)

So, the US should respond with caution.

Let's forget about the Trump angle. Let's pretend nobody on his team was involved. Russian Cyber Hacks on U.S. Electoral System Far Wider Than Previously Known What we do know for sure is that Russia attempted to interfere in the last election on an unprecedented scale. Everyone on both sided of the aisle, who have access to the evidence, has acknowledged that Russia interfered in a major way. How should the US respond?


Is this the only election Russia ever interfered in? I'd say no and I'd also say they will interfere in almost all elections going forward.

So what's your idea to stop them? Even more constricting sanctions? War?

We should prosecute the administration that allowed it to occur. Our government was out of control!

Why? Because they hacked the DNC server? They didn't. Because they leaked emails to wikileaks? They didn't. Because they showed us the corruption of the DNC and Hillary? They didn't. Because they tried to screw Bernie? They didn't. Because they conspired to rig debate questions with media outlets? They didn't. Because they surrounded the Clintons with decades of scandal, lies, money, and dead bodies (including our ambassador's)? They didn't. Because they obstructed an investiation into the Clinton's and forced Loretta Lynch to meet with Bill? They didn't. Because they made Hillary a terrible candidate? They didn't. Because they paid Clinton Foundation undisclosed millions in exchange for a deal to acquire 20% of US uranium? They didn...wait, they did do that.

While some inside the Obama administration pressed at the time to make the full scope of the Russian activity public, the White House was ultimately unwilling to risk public confidence in the election’s integrity, people familiar with those discussions said.


Translation: "We knew Hillary had this in the bag, and there was no need to make a fuss out of it. But, that damn orange fascist Trump won, so it was only then that we decided to say anything."

You think the interference was limited to the Dem Primary? It wasn't.

I want actual proof that the Russian Government interfered in our election first. The only "proof" we have is that our "intelligence" community says so. The very same IC that has been leaking false info to the press and are actively trying to take down the President of the US.

I want the DNC servers inspected by non partisan FBI agents.

No there were hacking attempts against the RNC too. Like there is every election for every party in every country.

I don't like it, I think we should defend against it. I can't control that the DNC didn't and was so careless in their corruption. I doubt they clean up their act so I suggest they at least clean up their defenses

Pretend nobody on Trump's team was involved? That's easy to do...you know...since "no evidence of collusion."

You are such a hack.

Now to your question. There are two ways to look at this.

First...we wait until the investigation is done and decide. Most likely the investigation, if not crooked, will uncover DNC collusion with Russia. Everyone knows the democrats always, and I mean always, accuse the republicans of doing exactly what the dems actually do.

Second: We do nothing. We ignore it because it had zero effect. The Russians stated goal, per the IC report that the dems misleadingly use as the smoking gun for "Muh Russians", was to instill distrust in the US election process. The democrats, by throwing this six month hissy fit, are giving the Russians their stated goal. Any Russian "interference" did not change one vote. Obama and Comey both agree on that. And if you can't trust Obama and Comey....who can you trust?

Bottom line...thanks idiot liberals for letting the Russians meet their stated objective.
