(10,163 posts)Trump would never have won a fair election.
You can tell he cheated because it is very rare, and very difficult, to win the electoral votes but NOT win the popular vote. It's an almost guarantee the vote was rigged.
So don't blame the far left, the Bernie voters, Green party voters or absent voters. It was rigged by little Putin and the GOP.

(10,163 posts)Since there is no real investigation into what they did and the corporate media is constantly saying that Putin's meddling did not affect the outcome of the vote (which tells me it probobly did), I am just not sure of anything about that election.
But if you have some evidence about Putin stopping short of rigging votes please share. I am being serious. I missed a lot of the information that came out in the early days.

(10,163 posts)Putin's spies did to our election, it's kind of a difficult to argue that any opinions or votes affected it.

(590 posts)It is extremely unlikely she's claiming to know that Russia threw the election to Trump.
She's claiming that Obama is boxing them in because if they object to the sanctions it might make people wonder if there was a quid pro quo. She's also saying that Obama might have further evidence on Russia and that he might be leading Trump into a trap (where Trump says nice things about Russia and then, bam!, Obama releases some direct evidence).
She's not claiming in this email that she knows Russia helped them win the election.

(34,661 posts)Clapper and Hayden in recent days,something is about to pop. These two Gent's have had the real evidence as to what was said between The Trump Crime Syndicate and Russia or Russian Agents. With each badgering of these fellows by Trump or his spokes people,a little tid bit come forward.
BTW,Pompeo said that none of the Voting Machines has ever been physically checked to see if they had been manipulated in anyway. My guess is,most of these machines have now been sold as scrap. Which a few showed up at a Hackers conference he in Vegas some months back. Bought on E-Bay for few bucks.
