JANUARY 29: Keep Russian hack of US election on the front pages! The "HOLY CRAP!" edition.

If you think this is worthwhile, please kick and rec!

(Have you called your senators today and told them to say no to DeVos and Pruitt? If not, do it now! 202-225-3121).

Welp, the plot on the Russian hack of our democracy thickens. You'll notice a lot of articles today on the "disappearings" and arrests and deaths that are happening in the top levels of the Russian cyber-intelligence community. Putin seems to have sussed out who leaked the Russian dossier on Trump.

As some of you pointed out, Rachel did a really good job of describing what is happening, and if you haven't seen it, you must. Here are links (two parts of the same story):
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/trump-favor-for-unpopular-russia-raises-questions-of-motive-863845443847
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/russia-treason-arrest-seen-as-tacit-corroboration-of-us-intel-863859267681

Now more than ever, we CAN'T let the story of the Russian hack of our democracy fall off the front pages.

Please click on the links below to keep news organizations reporting on the Russian hack of our election. The more clicks the articles get, the more ad revenue they get and the more incentive the publishers have to publish more stories on the Russian hack. We need the media to investigate it and fight it. By clicking, we give them a financial incentive to do that.


Below are 20 articles. Please click on each and scroll through. Also, please spend a little time each day on BuzzFeed and MotherJones. They are leading the way in investigating what is going on.

Thank you again to all who have been following this and clicking.

But the December info from the WaPo had CrowdStrike's assessment that it was Russian Military intel occupying Ukraine that were behind the attack. ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1646564 )

Some of the info in your links connecting Anonymous factions to our intel and russian intel was interesting. I always thought that was likely.

The far righties in our intel were in on this hack, I'd bet.

...high-placed sources like THE WHITE HOUSE may have given Putin/KGB our sources in Russia that brought us news that Russia hacked our election. PEOPLE IN RUSSIA HAVE DIED TO BRING US THE TRUTH!

I think this is the most important story of this entire election and deserves much more attention than it gets. Keep up the good work!
