Declassified report: Putin ordered election interference to help Trump
By Katie Bo Williams - 01/06/17 03:59 PM EST
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a widespread influence campaign intended to help elect Donald Trump, the intelligence community said in a declassified report released Friday afternoon.
“Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump,” the report reads.
“We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.”

One of the most biased headlines and text body I have ever read.
WHO is so mentally defective they actually think Russia likes Trump and wanted to help him? Russia is a freaking independent nation,not a neighbor or co-worker. When Russia does something like this it is SOLELY because they think it will help Russia,PERIOD.
I will break this down a bit further for those of you who were Hillary/JEB/LadyLindsey/etc,etc,etc supporters and/or former special education students. Russia trying to manipulate as American election to reach an outcome favorable to Russia may or may NOT be harmful to America. Dumbing it down even further for the Bush and Clinton supporters, it is possible for something to be good for BOTH Russia AND America at the same time. Not to mention the rest of the planet.
The Stardust Twins,Lady Lindsey Graham and John McLunatic,were on Meet the Press this morning,and panties/Depends were all in a wad over this. It seemed obvious to ME both would have preferred a Clinton win so business would continue as usual instead of having a scary outside in place,and Lady Lindsey let slip the biggest thing he is worried about is Russia and the US joining forces in a war on Islam. He and McLunatic get big bucks from the defense industry from keeping wars going,NOT ending wars. They were both borderline hysterical. Lady Lindsey was even screaming for permanent US military bases in Ukraine.
On the other hand,there was a reporter on the show from Chicago named Rick Santelli carpet-bombed the leftists and their accomplices in the media with the FACT that EVERY nation tries to influence EVERY OTHER NATION in order to obtain a more favorable position for themselves,and than in fact WE had been doing the same thing with Russian elections. Their heads were exploding in outrage. This was "DIFFERENT because the purpose was to keep Hillary Clinton from being elected and thereby destroy democracy,and even our intelligence professionals are outraged over what Russia was doing!"
Santelli or SOMEONE was a microphone needs to remind people that Russia has not only been doing this in the US since the 1920's,but that at least a third of FDR's cabinet were Soviet Agents,and his wife was a freaking communist. WHERE was the outrage when the Soviets were funding,encouraging,and even organizing marchers for MLK Jr? What about the pro-Soviet advisers of Robert Kennedy,or the Soviet agents in the US Congress and the US Senate,some with enormous power and access to military intelligence like Bill Clinton's political Rabbi,Senator William Fulbright. Or Bubba Bill going on tour in the USSR at a time when regular American's couldn't even get a visa to go there as a tourist,and visiting the North Korean and the North Vietnamese embassies while there? What about the media not only refusing to print anything about JFK's failure of courage during the Cuban crisis,but the FACT that he did NOT even manage to get nukes removed from Cuba like they all reported? It is a historical FACT that the very same Soviet nuclear missile subs that cruised off the US coast docked at a Soviet Submarine base in Cuba to rearm,get repairs,fresh food,etc,etc,etc. In case it has escaped anyone's attention,nuclear missile submarines have nuclear missiles on them.
Someone with a microphone also needs to mention that ALL of the "intelligence professionals" who are now screaming about Hillary losing because the Russians like Trump are ALL Dim appointees who are life-long career left-wing Dims APPOINTEES. Their careers are based on supporting Dims. Where are the non-political career intelligence employees and why aren't THEY screaming about this in outrage? I can tell you why,they aren't saying anything because this is a manufactured crisis to try to harm Trump BEFORE he takes office in order to help protect the Dims.
