As the
“news” about Russia’s supposed hacking of DNC computers (thereby helping Trump
win the election) continues to occupy the tiny minds of the Left, I think a few
things are worth considering:
1. There’s STILL no
evidence, other than circumstantial. According to the New York Times, the CIA
report, while suggesting that Russia was behind the hack, admitted to operating
on information gathered before the election. No new information, developed post-election,
was part of their suggestion; which begs the question: why, then, wait until
AFTER the election to reveal this news? Also, the CIA’s “findings” are based on
circumstantial evidence (again, according to the CIA and New York Times). http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/11/us/politics/cia-judgment-intelligence-russia-hacking-evidence.html?_r=0
2. Since Liberals’ have
memories similar to dogs…about two minutes…they seem to have forgotten that
Hillary, while at the State Department, used a personal, UNSECURED, server.
Along with sending and receiving marked classified documents, she also used
here server while conducting Clinton Foundation business. And, oh yeah….she
also used it for Yoga info and Chelsea’s wedding. It seems quite reasonable to
assume that she ALSO used her server in communications with……the DNC; very
likely, at the HIGHEST levels (let’s face it: if she didn’t care about
unsecured classified documents, she certainly wouldn’t care about any
information she might share with the DNC (and, since she IS a Clinton, I’m
confident that she had access to ALL DNC information….). So, there exists AS
MUCH circumstantial evidence that Hillary, herself, was the cause of the leaks.
3. There also exists the
possibility that the leaks were a result of an inside job. While I can’t
imagine that anyone working for Hillary would have cause to dislike her…..she’s
regarded as such a kind, warm, loving, giving person to her staff…there may be
that one person, or lots of people, who’d work to submarine her efforts. (Her
security detail says that being assigned to “Hillary duty” was a form of
punishment…..but what do they know!)
4. Recounts have
found……NOTHING. Well, that is to say, nothing that points to Russian
interference in the election itself. The recount HAS, though, found significant
voter fraud in Wayne County, Michigan (which, BTW, is a Democrat stronghold). Stay
tuned on this one, folks….what has been a news favorite for Liberal media for
the past couple weeks is about to disappear.
The two big points:
5. IF it is true that Russia
was involved in the hack, at the direction of Putin, with Trump playing a
direct role, and IF proof exists of this, then the CIA, Obama and the Liberal
media have put lives in danger. Specifically, they’ve now revealed Intelligence
assets which, in order to gather THAT level of confirmed information, are VERY
highly placed and close to the source: Vladimir Putin. Whether sigint (signal intelligence)
or humint (human intelligence), these assets are now known to Russian
Intelligence agencies. If humint, those assets are now compromised and may lose
their lives. If sigint, THOSE assets are now compromised and, when found, will
likely lead to whomever placed them. In addition, when found, the methods of
placing those assets will also be known.
6. Has Russia, in the past,
worked to influence political movements in our country? You bet. Remember the
(now) famous case of Ted Kennedy striking a deal with the USSR? He (Kennedy) promised
to trade information which would help the Soviets in their negotiations with
President Reagan in exchange for assistance during the 1984 Presidential
campaign and election. http://www.forbes.com/2009/08/27/ted-kennedy-soviet-union-ronald-reagan-opinions-columnists-peter-robinson.html.
Remember the McCarthy years? Although it’s pretty
much never mentioned, McCarthy’s investigations found MANY instances of Soviet
Communist influence, as well as uncovering American political groups,
sympathetic to the USSR.
There is a CLEAR track record of Russian/Soviet
attempts to influence the politics in America. BUT, interestingly, nearly all,
is not ALL, involved Democrat (“Progressive”) groups. So, perhaps the Democrats
are deeply concerned that the Russians, now, might be dumping them because they
think they’ve found a new sweetheart.
The bottom
line is this:
Until
proven otherwise, there, currently, is no “there” there. This is just more of
what Liberals do: make stuff up and hope there are enough breathtakingly
ignorant people, unconcerned with facts, to bring it off. And, in doing so, can
revise a bit more of their own history.
