Anyone else hear what Victoria Nulland (who worked in State dept under Kerry) said to Rachel

[triron]

regarding unusual number of Russians with technical capabilities applying for entry to the US
prior to the election? She mentioned that (paraphrasing) the FBI was concerned about attacks on the voting process.

[elleng]

1. Yes.

Raised concerns.

[MontanaMama]

2. Yup.

She was very measured and very clear. Gawd I miss adults working for the good of our nation.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Yes. She also said she didn't know the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign -

showing again how closely they were guarding that information.

[ancianita]

17. It's her support against the GOP's eventual attempt to discredit the Mueller report and indictments.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Yes and this is new news.

Nothing before tonight has ever been reported. And Nulland was aware of Mr. Steele since 2014 with Russian info.

[triron]

5. Now we know the FBI was concerned about election tampering in terms of altering votes.

[Amaryllis]

6. THat was reported summer 2016 along with them hacking voter reg databases.

[triron]

8. By the State Dept.?

[Amaryllis]

11. THe media. Along with the reports of Russian hacking into voter reg databases. I was pretty

sure summer of 2016 that they were going to steal it just based on what media was reporting about Russian hacking and the influx of Russians entering the country. People didn't seem to be connecting the dots.

[triron]

12. I believe you! The media was too wrapped up in HRC's emails. ):

Talk about screwed up responsiveness.

[ancianita]

19. Only FOX News. We know it's not "the media."

[suprcali]

24. more fox

It was also others like NYT.

[OilemFirchen]

7. Yeah, but we can't trust her.

Remember that she rewarded Ukrainian assassins with cookies, and that's why Putin had to invade. (Which he really didn't do anyway.)

It's true. I read it all over the Dee Yoo at the time.

[Cha]

10. I know.. were those

Russian bots? Whatever they were they definitely defended putin.

[OilemFirchen]

14. Some clearly were.

Most left us for the pines.

Some remain.

[Cha]

16. Yep, easy to spot. I remember those days

as "Putin Good-Obama Bad" Freaking idiots.

[SidDithers]

18. Nailed it...

I remember it well.

Fucking clowns.

Sid

[milestogo]

9. Rachel has mentioned that on her show.

They were concerned, yet the visas were granted.

[bdjhawk]

25. They were concerned,

yet Comey focused the country on HRC's emails (all the while letting the Manchurian Candidate off the hook!!!)

[watoos]

13. I have said this here at least a half dozen times,

when our intelligence said it had no evidence that any of our votes were flipped, they were telling the truth. The problem is, voting is left to the states to administer, how can there be any proof of voter machine rigging when no voter machines are independently audited? The machines are owned by Republicans who claim proprietary rights for not allowing them to be audited.

Until we go to paper ballots I will consider none of our elections fair and honest. Why is it that exit polling used to be a reliable indicator of who won but since the advent of electronic voting machines exit polling is no longer reliable? You figure it out.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. I am so glad that Republicans invested so much money on building prisons,

because we're going to need them to contain all the Repubs that were involved in the conspiracy.

[diva77]

20. +1,000,000 Keep saying it. Cannot be said often enough ---also pls. include that the paper ballots

need to be hand-counted at the precinct level with public oversight!!

[FakeNoose]

23. Yes paper ballots should be required in every state

Until we get to the bottom of this we need to secure the integrity of our elections.
Paper ballots, counted and reported locally. Keep everything offline.

[certainot]

21. to do all this without figuring out how to feed rw radio makes no sense

how long has the kremlin been feeding limbaugh? that would be so much easier and control output from 1500 radio stations....

the r-con limbaugh russian goals coincide very closely

lately limbaugh's been taking a lot of day off - hopefully they found some cyprus bank accts with his name on them and he's been asked in to answer questions.....

[elmac]

22. also mention by ms Nulland was that Putin was near broke

the last time I heard he was worth billions. I wonder what happened?

[YOHABLO]

26. Yes, I read not long ago that Putin was worth billions and had money interest all over the place.

[triron]

27. I don't think she was referring to his personal wealth.

[elmac]

28. she referred to his wealth and Russia's wealth separately

so I'm thinking she may have misspoken, Russia's economy is still in the shitter but I don't believe for one minute that Putin isn't uber rich. I wish Rachel would have caught that and had her expand on that comment.
