Russian hackers probed election systems in all 50 states, a new Senate report confirmed Thursday.
The report comes one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress that the Russian government is working to meddle in U.S. elections "as we sit here."
"It wasn't a single attempt," Mueller said Wednesday of Russia's 2016 election interference. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign."
The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee released Thursday confirmed previous comments by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Russian hackers scanned election systems in all 50 states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. DHS initially acknowledged Russian attempts to hack into election systems in just 21 states.

Trump won because the DNC coronated HRC. Unless HRC was a Russian plant to get Trump elected, the Russians had nothing at all to do with it.

Well, that's a half truth. If propaganda didn't work, campaigns wouldn't spend a billion+ on it every election.
Besides, this article describes an attempt at hacking election infrastructure, which, to be honest, I had thought was overblown bullshit on centrist dem's part. It's not stated whether anything was actually compromised, but I would say, in context, your confidence is undue.

US is the single country I know that legalized money as speech [wikipedia.org].
And it's getting even closer to unlimited money as speech [theatlantic.com] - coming to you through Alaska [adfmedia.org].
Next steps? Get rid of speech and keep only the money. With the immediate consequence of getting rid of the elections all together, 'cause they don't matter anymore but involve significant costs.
Rip what you sow.

Debbie Wassterman Schulz and other DNC operatives sabotaged Bernie Sanders, a jewish person, for the zionist project in Israel.
HRC would have at least charged a hefty fee for the concessions on Jerusalem, Gollan and in general allowing the Isaeli military to assassinate peaceful protestors and steal land all day long, as well as continually waging offensive war against syria.
Writing Israel out of the 2016 election and Trump presidency is a true expression of ignorance, and anything that Russia has done Israel has done twice as much, and we are actually paying money for the privilege and allowing a zionist cultural hegemony in our legal, media and financial systems, as well as spies to legally operate as a paramilitary for people like Harvey Weinstein and you know who.
Yes most Americans were repulsed by HRC as a person with good reason, but she was ultimately just as much of a traitor and also random fainting is hardly the trait of a good candidate....
Consistent application of law and principle is difficult nowadays, but I refuse to hand out respect to anyone selectively applying any rule to anyone, or anyone who thinks they are an exception.
Stop dealing with the monkey, and start dealing with the organ grinder.
I will never let any zionist claim they are an ally of my country. Alpha Zionist Shapiro was asked on Real Time with Bill Maher what he thought of trump and he just said he liked the tax cut, no other ideas to share. Trump is a disaster for america, 2016 was a disaster for america, zionists are just pouring gasoline on the fire and they welcome Russians to the dance party as the republic burns.
Apparently the pentagon and 'homeland security' are bent over some or another barrel just taking it, i suspect because they don't want to piss off whoever funds the whole unlimited unaudited budget they have going on, but who knows what the true interest of these generals are who don't take the job of actually defending anything very seriously.

Yes, the Jews are running the US (just watch CSPAN for a hearing or two and count the Jews and their POC agents) and this Russia shit is extra ridiculous while the same Jews running Russia are now here pulling the same shit they pulled in the Bolshevik Revolution they just haven't gotten to the killing part yet. America is probably not redeemable and Aryans won't be free or safe until we have an ethno-state. It will take a miracle and a free internet to reeducate Aryans so that they would even want that. Right now they are more than happy to degenerate into monkeys. We could always take the rest back later once we rebuilt our culture and people. This is all Hitler was trying to do. Kick out the subversive parasites and rebuild his country and people. That couldn't be allowed to happen so the Jews mobilized their slave states against Germany and killed as many Aryans as they could (100 million?) using other ignorant and indoctrinated Aryans.

Noooooooooo, Trump may have won because Russia was directly manipulating the vote. This is beyond partisan politics and is about a direct attack on our election infrastructure.
It doesn't matter who was trying to run for President. Hacking our election systems is an attack against our sovereignty and deserves a military response.
Trump isn't transparent either. Pee-Pee Tape anyone? He refuses to show his taxes, flaunts the foreign emoluments clause, refuses to divest himself from his businesses, funnels money from campaigns back into his pocket, etc. He's a dirty fuckwad, and it looks likely that he is actually serving RUSSIA.
So it's not hyperbolic to state that the Russians hacked our election system to forcibly elect somebody that they could control, or already control.
You should be EXTREMELY concerned and pissed off about this. The first thing we should be doing is outlawing electronic voting of any kind, and securing our election infrastructure. To do otherwise is a dickhead partisan move, because just at the moment, the Russians are supporting the Republicans.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

you are SO CLOSE, but you stopped short. Keep thinking, use that rancid pudding you call a brain and carry that thought to its logical conclusion.
