Utter nonsense.

If Obama had announced it prior to the election the obvious would have happened: Obama would be accused of "trying to influence the election".

So obviously he had no choice but to wait until after the election for the chips to fall where they may (regardless of who won) to announce that there is evidence of foreign help for one candidate.


The thing is, after all this time, there still isn't any evidence. There's only hearsay. What's been suggested as proof is: NBC wouldn't lie. The CIA and FBI agree. Obama wouldn't lie and risk his reputation:

The Slot: There Is Reportedly Consensus Between the FBI and CIA That Russia Intervened to Help Trump

Quote:
Multiple news outlets now report that the FBI has officially backed CIA assessments that Russia intervened in the 2016 election with the goal of electing Donald Trump.

According to an account from the Washington Post, corroborated by NBC, CIA Director John Brennan sent out a message to agency employees explaining that the head of the FBI and the director of National Intelligence agree Russia was behind the interference.

“Earlier this week, I met separately with (Director) FBI James Comey and DNI Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election,” he wrote in the message, which was quoted by the Washington Post: “The three of us also agree that our organizations, along with others, need to focus on completing the thorough review of this issue that has been directed by President Obama and which is being led by the DNI.”

This basically says there isn't any evidence.

But hey, there's a mighty strong suspicion. I mean HUGE suspicion. And sometime after December 19th, er I mean before January 20th, they'll get to the bottom of this .

In the meantime have this firmly implanted in your brain: RUSSIA IS THE REASON WHY TRUMP WON.

And how would it benefit both the CIA and the FBI to lie about this?

I am not the one who needs to pull their head out. :roll:

US politicians have been demonstrating a lot of abnormal behavior in the last year. Now things appear to be escalating. I am afraid for what might happen.

We should be prepared to look after our own.

Not sure how he can do that, as I understand he isn't the president any more. I hadn't realized that, but the major media outlet Salon (no fake news there!) told me so:

I keep seeing why would NBC, FBI, CIA, Obama lie about this? as if that was supposed to be proof they have solid evidence. I'm not saying they're lying. I'm saying all they seem to have is suspicion. Or rather, they're basically the ones saying they only have suspicion. It really just seems pretty much like the FBI's suspicion of Hillary's emails. Which turned out to be basically nothing. After December 19th they'll probably say the same thing about this as they said about the Clinton email investigation.

He is still President; his term is expected to end at noon Eastern time on January 20, 2017.

I have no illusions about "the best man for the job" and I've never been into hero worship.

Can you two not do this in every thread you participate in? It's childish and it's getting old. Just agree to disagree and stop antagonising each other, it's silly and pointless.

In light of the recent information, I would recommend the GOP electors vote for a 3rd candidate they can agree on; hopefully, enough will do so to throw this election to the House. Hopefully, by the time of the election in the House, enough information will have come to light on what should be done.

Are you serious? Obama has done bombed innocent civilians across the world, supported numerous massacres and wars as well as funding organ eating head chopping child rapists because his masters are against any Arab nationalists. Obama should be locked up with Bush and the rest of them.


And those Arab nationalists haven't done bad things ever?


The US doesn't attack countries because the leaders are bad people. It supports Saudi Arabia and Israel, the worst two countries in the region.


So we're supposed to attack a loyal allie?
