I have to say, I haven’t seen salt like this since election night. The mainstream media, still in shock over Donald Trump’s election night victory, have gone in whole-hole hog on the recent report from the Washington Post. Despite the fact that there is no public evidence for anything that was said in the report, the “progressive” side of the aisle has pushed all their chips to the center of the table. They want to bet everything on Russia and Vladimir Putin having swayed the election against Hillary Clinton. This, despite the fact that most of what was revealed by WikiLeaks having been mundane. We already knew that the DNC hater Bernie Sanders and therefore rigged the primary in Clinton’s favor. We already knew that numerous media lackeys were basically Democratic operatives. The emails that were leaked only proved that to people who already believed it. But this is somehow a smoking gun.
We have no idea that what’s being said by the Central Intelligence Agency (allegedly…keep in mind, this is the Fake News Media) is even true. But that’s not stopping the usual suspects from going nuts. It’s truly like election night part two. In that vein, I’ll present to you a tweet parade by the usual suspects…
It takes a special chutzpah to suggest releasing info on Russian hacking of US election would be "partisan," rather than suppression of it.

Russia influencing US election to put Trump in power is bigger than Watergate.

3. If you are a corp or foreign gov't seeking to send $ to Trump, you can
1. Stay at his hotel
2. Buy ad on Apprentice
3. Rent office space— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) December 10, 2016
So stunned by the Trump transition statement on the Post-CIA-Russia story that I half expect a walk back by tomorrow

Here’s the Trump transition statement, for reference…
These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It’s now time to move on and “Make America Great Again.”
100% accurate.
Congressional Republicans KNEW THAT RUSSIA HELPED TRUMP. BEFORE THE ELECTION. And they kept us in the dark.

It's deeply saddening to me that only now are we accepting what has been self-evident for months. https://t.co/xXCn4qToWi

So this just got worse. Hacked RNC, did not distribute. Did the RNC and Trump know? Does that explain Trump's continuing disloyalty to USA? https://t.co/T6KV3rqYXS

Trump trashing the CIA is amazing. Another one of those 'if Obama had done this' moments.

2016: CIA sits on its strong conclusion that Russia is trying to influence US election. FBI announces it has emails that amount to nothing.

Going to say this again: Trump was a willing accomplice to Russian hacking. He encouraged them to get Clinton's emails

On and on it goes. Cuckservatives and Democrats are uniting to push this Russia/Trump narritive. The only vague hope they have is with the Electoral College vote on December 19th. Their efforts won’t payoff, but that’s the game they are playing right now.
