Russia had nothing to do with my decision to vote for Trump. It was all of Hillary's missteps that made him an easy choice.

The biased news Media has nothing positive they can report on so they have to keep repeating their same one-sided news over and over again.

Funny but all Trump kept shouting is "It's rigged" until he won. What would you be saying if it were the RNC that was hacked and Trump lost? I have to believe that the RNC had as much dirt  in their emails that would have impacted on Trump. If the RNC had been hacked and Hillary won, if would have been a "rigged" election.

Two badly flawed candidates and sorry that one had to win.

With all the "experts" Hillary had handling her email accounts, one would think they would have been able to dig up any negative information that the RNC might have been using in denigrating her. But in hindsight, she and Bill had so much excess "baggage" tied to them there wasn't any need for the RNC to become involved in her demise.

According to Assange he had Republican emails but there was nothing  in them that wasn't already out in the public so there was nothing to be gained by publishing them. Russia didn't write the emails, the members of the Clinton crime family did. Many of us already knew what clinton is and fortunately enough folks realized what she is time to save the country. Love him or hate him Assange/wikileaks.org saved America.

speaking of repeating the same one-sided news over and over again.

Maybe if they invested some time and money into firewalls and other preventitive measures they would not have been "hacked"  

Podesta was not hacked - he was phished - he gave up his p@ssw0rd willingly to bad people - What is worse is that he emailed his IT people to check to see if it was a phishing attempt - and they cleared it.

Now the DNC should have made their systems much harder to hack into considering they dont want their information out there but then again why would anyone want to do such a mean thing to the DNC - or the office of personnel management and the china hack, or the IRS hack or many others over the last 8 years, that there is not a word about in terms of wow this hacking stuff needs to stop and we just put millions of peoples information and identities at risk, but let some truth about lies and corruption in the democrat party out - OH heavens to mergatroyd we have to investigate and put this on the fast track and head must roll!!!!  oh and Russians did it!

Heaven forbid a national election has interference from an outside state.

The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.

That number doesn’t include military coups and regime change efforts following the election of candidates the U.S. didn’t like, notably those in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. Nor does it include general assistance with the electoral process, such as election monitoring.

Great points as usual Phil. Let's not forget the Clinton's inviting the Chinese I to our election by accepting MILLIONS in illegal contributions from good Ole Charlie, white house is like a subway turnstile, you put the money in to get the access, Tri  Obammy and stooges are simply trying to leverage this "crisis" into getting the feds to take over the election process which is currently 100% controlled by state and local governments. DTS in 11 days. I can already hear the stealing as the pigs are drug away from the trough.

Its funny that they voted to put elections now as critical and need homeland security to secure the electoral system - guess they dont realize that Jey Johnson is about to be out the door and someone more to Trumps liking about to be in the position.  something else for them to complain about in 4 years - *the republicans and DHS are racist and disinfrancishing votors just look they made photo ID's mandatory in all states and stopped the US government from attempting to hack into state election machines. * 

http://www.wsj.com/articles/georgia-reports-attempt-to-hack-states-election-database-via-ip-address-linked-to-homeland-security-1481229960

The secretary of state of Georgia is asking the Department of Homeland Security to explain what appears to be an attempted breach of the state’s computer systems that house its voter registration database by someone in the federal government.

In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson dated Thursday, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp said the state had discovered an unsuccessful attempt to breach the firewall of state computer systems. The attempt occurred on Nov. 15 and was linked to an IP address associated with DHS, he said
