"The most important document you may ever read"

Senate Intelligence report on Russian interference should chill Americans who value our democracy 

On the day that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on election interference came out, cable news anchors strained to race through its 448 pages and describe the findings, all in the same breath. Computer sleuths hacked the document’s setting to let users search for “Trump,” “president,” “collusion” and “Russia.” Talking-head lawyers feverishly opined that Volume I contained less incriminating information than Volume II. 

But around the country, voters mostly gave an “Is that all there is?” shoulder shrug and went back to their corners. Many members of Congress admitted they didn’t even bother to read it. 

Nearly six months later, and to almost no fanfare last week while Congress was in recess, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the second of two installments of its own bipartisan investigation into roughly the same topic. The slim, 85-page report reads like a Russian spy novel crossed with a sequel to Orwell’s most dystopian version of the future — right down to an interview with a paid Russian troll who said his experience in 2016, pitting American voters against each other with social media platforms of their own making, was like being “a character in the book ‘1984’ by George Orwell — a place where you have to write that white is black and black is white.” 

Unlike Mueller, who seemed to take great pains not to point fingers and softened his recommendations, the Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Richard Burr and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, put its warnings in the starkest possible terms. First, the Russians deliberately attacked American voters with an active measures campaign in 2016 to benefit Donald Trump and destroy Hillary Clinton. On the morning after Election Day, a former troll told the committee, exhausted hackers in St. Petersburg, Russia, uncorked tiny of champagne. They looked into each other’s eyes. “We uttered almost in unison: ‘We made America great.’”

Doesn’t everybody decide who to vote for based on Facebook ads?

:lol: 

I don’t do Facebook so, I was forced to just flip a coin.  Legit.

”...should chill Americans who value our democracy.”

How very Tom Clancy-ish.

Hillary spent billions on the election for advertising, but we’re supposed to believe a couple Facebook ads swung the election? 

They better start lining up the excuses for 2020 because trump is going to win again.

If there still throwing temper tantrums from the last election can you even imagine what they'll do if Teflon Don the Cheeto gets re-elected

Trump should call Putin and say, "hey do you have any new ideas for winning this one?" Haha that would be entertaining for a while.

This was absolutely funny as fuck.  Dems and their MSM’s had a fit!!!!  It’s clear the only ones that are taking this Russia hoax seriously are the Dems....who, astonishingly, still refuse to take any responsibility for their own loss.

THE REPORT-

I think we've been down this road before.

VI. (U) NO EVIDENCE OF CHANGED VOTES OR MANIPULATED VOTE TALLIES.... 38

Page 38

VI. (U) NO EVIDENCE OF CHANGED VOTES OR MANIPULATED VOTE TALLIES (U) In its review, the Committee has seen no indications that votes were changed, vote tallying systems were manipulated, or that any voter registration data was altered or deleted, although the Committee and IC's insight is limited. Pol! workers and voting monitors did not report widespread suspicious activity surrounding the 2016 election. DHS Assistant Secretary Jeanette Manfra said in the Committee's open hearing in June 2017 that "1 want to reiterate that we do have confidence in the overall integrity of our electoral system because our voting infrastructure is fundamentally resilient." Further, all three witnesses in that hearing—Ms. Manfra, Dr. Files, and FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Bill Priestap—agreed that they had no evidence that votes themselves were changed in any way in the 2016 election.

Does anyone for a second think we don't probe Russia elections for weakness'?   Why are people so butt hurt that they do ours?   It has to be the ultimate hypocrisy which is not surprising considering who it bothers on here.

Under Obama our Federal govt gave money to campaign against B.N. in the national election.   Just think about that for a second.

For those that don't know....everyone spy's on everyone.   Everyone looks at everyone's election.   Everyone is out to help themselves.

Seriously, has his blathering the past decade or so changed a single mind other than push a fence rider over towards conservatism, Trump, republican, libertarianism....... ? 
 

Does he know that people like him, Spin, SnowBeavis, etc are the exact reason why Trump will get re-elected?
