How bizarre is it that the argument is not that the Russians were trying to influence the election through lies or electronic voting, but rather the claim – if you really boil it down – is that the Russians swayed the election for Donald Trump by revealing the truth about the Clinton campaign and the truth about the DNC.
-AmericanMirror: Anonymous CIA insiders convinced national mainstream media outlets that Russian hackers attempted to sway the 2016 presidential election for Donald Trump, but an Atlanta television reporter actually did some reporting and quickly found five solid reasons to question the claim.
Ben Swann conducted a “Reality Check” on the allegations of Russian interference in the election for Atlanta’s CBS affiliate WGCL-TV and came to the conclusion that something shady is going on.
“By now you’ve heard that the CIA is sure that Russia did hack the DNC and John Podesta’s emails with the intent of swaying the election toward Donald Trump,” Swann said.
“But what most media isn’t doing is actually asking for evidence of these claims,” he said. “I’m going to give you five problems with what the CIA is saying.”
The first problem revolves around how the information about the alleged hacking was released.
“The CIA did not officially release this information, rather anonymous sources inside the CIA leaked this conclusion to The Washington Post on Friday, and then another anonymous source leaked the same conclusion to the New York Times,” Swann said. more here
… the pitcher winds up … there’s the pitch … the batter swings …..
long fly ball ….. IT’S OUTTA HERE!!!! HOME RUN!!!!
… logic’s a bitch … but a true one
This “reporter” is obviously a Russian stooge and needs to be deported to a reeducation camp in order to learn the difference between a communist society and…the Democrats? Uh, never mind about the reeducation camp, but I stand by the Russian stooge opinion.
Smug self righteous liberals wasting paper in NYC

I hate these Phucking whiny bastards.
And why would the evil empire help put in office, the candidate who is for a strong military? Sorry America, we really tried to get rid of Mitch McConnell.
So when can we expect Mr Swann to shoot himself in the back of the head…with an AR-15?
No matter the truth or logic, the left will continue to act as a whirling dervish, spinning faster and faster to infinity and beyond.
I find it amazing that none of the incompetent government assholes involved seemed worried in the least that, according to them, the Russians hacked the system. It would seem to me that they are not supposed to let that happen!
Smoke and mirrors proferred by the Pretender Barry Soetero Obobo….someone needs to remove that shitpickle.
@South, we did, patience is a virtue.
Democrats are not worried because the majority of their voters are simply too lazy ass stupid to ever discover the truth.
@Glen Glenn
I remember as a kid the sound was from Glen Glenn.
Glen Glenn Sound was an audio post production company formerly located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
The company was co-founded by Glen R. Glenn and Harry Eckles (sound recordist) in 1937.[2] It provided creative audio services to the television and film industry for five decades. The company was acquired by audio post production company Todd-AO in 1986.
If the Russians did hack into these servers, and they could prove it. It’s still a long stretch to conclude it was done to support Trump. I mean, get real, who in their right mind would believe they would prefer Trump over corrupt incompetent Hillary?
I hope this path, this tactic to damage Trump – backfires and farther damages the Demon-Rat Party.
Gee Wally, remember when Harry Reid told us that “Anonymous Sources” informed him that Romney didn’t pay his taxes? Hmmmmm???
The Russians hacked everyone’s emails, then gave the D centric emails back to a D to give to Wikileaks.
Duh!
How does this man keep a job with CBS?
Khalid – you say that like there are qualifications required and standards to be met there!
Staying a bit underground and covert usually helps to keep your job here in ATL media. This national attn will probably sink him. <–think how insane that statement would be, in a sane world.
