Of course we need to believe the CIA, after all, this organisation re-invented the phrase "conspiracy theory" when to many people questioned the death of JFK!

Installing a right-wing government in a foreign country? Yeah, sure, that's pretty despicable, but I'm not sure the CIA are in any position to take the moral high ground on that one.

Its becoming a bit of a farce. The FBI is saying it hasn't happened the CIA are offering no evidence. Wikileaks is saying its definitely not the Russians and the RNC is saying that they have definitely not been hacked and have proof but it didn't fit the narrative so the press is not interested.

The only safe option is to declare the result invalid and run the Election again

I think the main thing this situation shows, whether true or not, is that electronic voting is still too dangerous to use as even the implication of cheating can be enough to put the results in doubt.

And i find it even less funny when the western mainstream media, including the BBC, start reporting this alleged russian hack as fact. Any journalist worth their salt knows there is absolutely no evidence to link Russia to these hacks. Anyway here's a link to a properly sourced and credible account that Russia had nothing to do with it from a scottish blogger and ex british ambassador (although obviously this doesn't make it 100% fact, but at least its highly credible as opposed to the mainstream medias version which has no factual evidence whatsoever) - https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archi...ce-conviction/ |

Trump hasn't actually said he didn't think it happened (in the clips I've seen)
He said it may be Russia or China or a guy sitting on his bed Perhaps not the best statement to make. |

Yes and the same agency that can't keep this 'secret' assessment out of public eyes.
a) people who can't keep their gobs shut and should never be trusted with anything important ever again. b) useful conduits for completely accidental 'leaks'. |

Nicely summed up. Unfortunately i'm not finding it farcical when it's regard to a perfectly fair and democratic winning of the election by the man most of the establishment don't want as President (admittedly who in the establishment would want that man-child muppet Trump in charge).
And i find it even less funny when the western mainstream media, including the BBC, start reporting this alleged russian hack as fact.

How does he know the person isn't an agent? How does he know the information wasn't hacked and then passed to someone to 'leak?' Even pickpockets pass the goods. Often the authorities will follow someone for a while, not arrest him/her, to observe. The idea that they arrest someone right away is naive. |

which presumably is the whole point of this fake linking of Russia to Clinton's email leaks
"Law enforcement officials said that if F.B.I. agents had the evidence to charge Russians with specific crimes, they would do so. The F.B.I. and federal prosecutors have already gone aggressively after Russian hackers, including two men detained in Thailand and the Czech Republic whom the United States is trying to extradite. Russia has tried to block those efforts and has accused the United States of harassing its citizens." So it's not true that the U.S. doesn't try to arrest hackers. It's the FBI, not the CIA that has law enforcement powers. This came from the CIA, that doesn't have the same standard of proof as the FBI. |

Like any email or conversation that would embarrass them. Unless of course you think only the Dems have secrets.

I doubt the trumpets care. Their man won is all that matters. Now him and his cronies are free to loot America.

well like what ? what dirt did they leak that influenced the election ?
. Only someone naive enough to think the RNC doesn't have insider secrets, would think there wasn't a motive. It made the RNC look squeaky clean. It's not what was released, it was concealing that both parties manipulate. So it looked like a straight talker running against a liar. |

Oh let us never never doubtWhat nobody is sure about!

I answered that already. It looks circumstantially suspicious that the RNC was hacked but no secrets were released.

Absolutely, which completely stops the CIA doing anything abroad at all whatsoever, in fact they are world famous for their utterly neutral hands-off approach to everything, especially when it comes to supplying nothing ever or their well publicised non-interventions.

Unfortunately you can't re-run an election because the elecorate are gullible.
