The report depicts Russian interference as unprecedented in scale, saying that Moscow’s assault represented “a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort” beyond previous election-related espionage.

?The campaign was ordered by Putin himself and initially sought primarily to undermine public faith is the U.S. democratic process, “denigrate Secretary Clinton” and harm her electoral prospects. But as the campaign proceeded, Russia “developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump” and repeatedly sought to elevate him by “discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him

When exactly are you idiots willing to discuss what was actually released?

You do realize that the DNC PURPOSELY rigged the Dem primary, right?

Well, those leaks definitely destroyed the credibility of the Democratic party and their primary process...along with the credibility of WaPo, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and NYT.

So even if true, what did they do that directly effected the election?

Hack voting machines? Nope
Register people to vote? Nope
Drive illegals to the polls to vote? Nope

Did Putin make the dimocraps do all their dirty deeds? The contents of the emails is the real story. Don't remember anyone saying the emails were fake.

Why was DHS trying to hack state voting systems?

The agency heads of the folks who put this briefing out were appointed by the dear leader.

So no proof, again.

Our intelligence agencies are a joke. A complete fricking joke.

The tragedy is their political motivations and lies lead to lots of death.

So Putin actively called Clinton out for her failures and this is considered hacking the election?
