Russia favored Trump in 2016, Senate panel says, breaking with House GOP

[Preacher]

So what if the Russians preferred Trump to Hillary? That still does not mean there was any illegal collusion - for which there still remains no evidence to support.

Perhaps the Russians were tired of paying Hillary / the Clintons so much cash and getting so little in return .

All these speculations and conspiracy theories based on butt-hurt are nice, but nothing beats good ol' evidence....and Democrats / Mueller / Snowflakes still don't have any to support their accusations...

This is a Republican led report..for the record. Preferred is one thing//actively attempting to influence the process quite another. You did read the quote, right?
Here..I'll post it again..just for you:

The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton,” Warner continued.

Warner is a democrap. So nope not Republican led.

The chair of the committee is a Republican.

He didn't write the report. The person QUOTED above is a democrap.

 

[HappyJoy]

How many people were wrongfully convinced that Clinton should be in prison? I mean, besides you who believed the bullshit.

The Russians were a great echo chamber.

Answer my question.

I think I'll make you a drinking game...every time you say answer my question..I get a shot..or perhaps a bong hit..gotta vary my intake.

Answer the question.
I need to know how many Liberals voted for Trump.

Man, I don't know if he knows any but I know about 20 or so libs that voted for trump simply because of their disdain for hillary. Two of them are very socialistic and were born in other countries but now american citizens. I imagine there were a shitload. Not all what you refer to liberals are far left.

Liberals or Democrats.
I know a lot of Blue Dogs who voted for Trump.
The problem today is that Blue Dogs are considered Independents.

Well, there you go. Independents, the exact group that would be more willing to change their vote one way or another. Great, glad you could learn something.

Ads are part of the Free Market.
WTF is wrong with Liberals!!!???

Deceptive ads from a foreign government, specifically a country like Russia that pretend to be from another group are not part of the free market. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Link to one of these “deceptive” ads.

What, you don't believe the ads exist?

Here are some of the Russian ads that targeted crucial election states on Facebook and Twitter – Daily News

These ads are so partisan no Liberal would read them for more than a moment and every Republican would agree with them in an instant.
So who was influenced to change their vote?

Believe it or not there is a wide spectrum of diversity in our electorate. Not everyone identifies as liberal or conservative. Ads can also piss people off and prompt them to be more likely to vote or less likely.

I'm sorry, I find your responses to be incurious and excuse ridden.

And it was not just adds..there were false gatherings...false flag posts on forums such as these...designed to pit people against one another. Designed to cause confusion and sow distrust..in the furtherance of a weaker America. But our faux-patriots have no issues with that...because they are invested in division as well. Stupid trolls who have no idea about nuance or what is best for our country..but only desire to 'make libs explode'--thus they are ripe for manipulation.

Heck..there was a group that it was proven Russians tried to form here in my home town..an anti-refugee group..they failed..because we're better than that..but it is proven..they did try.

UPDATE: Locals react to reported Russian meddling in Twin Falls anti-refugee Facebook rally

"Russian operatives were involved in staging an anti-immigrant rally in Twin Falls during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to a report from The Daily Beast.
Facebook acknowledged last week that Russia has used false identities and ads to promote divisive posts on the website before and after the election. The Daily Beast reported Monday that Russian agents also used Facebook to promote protests — including a “Citizens before refugees” rally scheduled Aug. 27, 2016, in Twin Falls.
The event was hosted by “Secured Borders,” which was revealed as a Russian front earlier this year.

A Facebook spokesman told The Daily Beast that Facebook “shut down several promoted events as part of the takedown we described last week.”
The Twin Falls Facebook event is still viewable on a search engine cached page, and reveals that 48 people said they were “interested” and four claimed to have attended the rally.
The event details state, “Due to the town of Twin falls, Idaho, becoming a center of refugee resettlement, which led to the huge upsurge of violence towards American citizens, it is crucial to draw society’s attention to this problem.”
The rally was scheduled for a Saturday morning at City Council Chambers. The Times-News has not confirmed whether anyone actually showed up."

So there you have it---of course..since many here agree with this stance..they probably have no issue with the fact that Russian intelligence operatives planned it..or even give a thought as to what their motive would be.

 

[HappyJoy]

Actually no one ever said there is or would be proof of ballot tampering.

What kind of morons are you people?

If there's no ballot tampering then there's no crime so far as I'm concerned.

Thankfully it's not up to you to decide when a crime is committed. Easy enough.

They co-wrote the report, not that it really matters..as the Republican majority committee voted on the report. If they had not approved..they would not have released it.

Russia favored Trump in 2016, Senate panel says, breaking with House GOP

That's right. The ENTIRE Senate Committee chaired by the GOP agrees with the US Intelligence Committee, breaking from trump. The House Intel Committee did not issue a joint report. Rather, the GOP on that committee issued a memo in which they tried to appease Glorious Leader.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/power...=.f6cee7d89592

Quote:
“Our staff concluded that the [intelligence community’s] conclusions were accurate and on point,” the panel’s vice chairman, Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), said Wednesday in a joint statement with Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), its chairman. “The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton,” Warner continued.

But that last determination — that Russia intended to help Trump — sets up a clash within the GOP over which record of events is most accurate, a dispute that could complicate the party’s messaging surrounding the Russia investigations as it heads into the 2018 election season. While the House Republicans’ report also concurred with the bulk of the intelligence community’s findings about Russian meddling, it accused officials of not following their own best practices in determining that Moscow hoped Trump would win."

Trump has taken umbrage at the intelligence community’s determination that the Kremlin favored his candidacy over that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The president cheered the House Intelligence Committee’s findings and report on Twitter, claiming it vindicated him by finding there was no evidence of collusion or coordination with Russia.


The Senate intelligence panel has yet to weigh in on the collusion allegations, a subject that will be left to its final report. But Burr and Warner have been dropping hints for days that their panel’s interim findings on the intelligence community would depart from those of the House Intelligence Committee Republicans. House Democrats also roundly disagreed with those findings.

The Senate Intelligence Committee released its findings on Wednesday that the Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump’s chances of victory, breaking with House Republicans. (Evan Vucci/AP)
“I’m not sure that the House was required to substantiate every conclusion with facts,” Burr told reporters last week, when asked whether the Senate Intelligence Committee would also find fault with the intelligence community’s assessment. He promised the Senate panel would “have the facts to show for” its conclusions."

Fuck you bitch.

Oh yeah..the question..what possible bearing this would have on this report..I don't know...I doubt that any Libs voted for Trump. So?

Any comment on the now proven fact..that Russia tried to influence our election on the direct orders of Putin? That Putin wished Trump to win...and used espionage to attempt to ensure it?
