    There hasn't been any leaks from Hillary's email server.

    Nobody is saying that anything is 100% fact. But it is the best available evidence. And like I said the decision whether or not to fire upon a target requires less certainty than we have that the Russians are behind this.

    Okay, but even if so....how's it a story that the FBI didn't sign on to it? Investigations into foreign actors is really the domain of the CIA, not so much the FBI. It seems like the only reason this is being talked about is an effort to deflect for Hillary.

    I love how people are willing to defend Russia over the USA if it will benefit their precious trump. What we have here is a bunch of traitors. Space Ghost, TJ, tmac-whatever and others - yall are traitors to America! So disgusting to see people like this.

    Agreed that it is CIA domain. But at the same time safeguarding the elections might have some jurisdiction with the FBI.

    Who is "defending Russia"? I certainly haven't seen anything that qualifies as that.

    Donald Trump's own VP nominee thinks it happened.

    Perhaps, but the FBI signing off or not signing off on a paper accusing Russia of trying to influence the election in the US really seems like a non-story. It makes no difference at all really.

    You're actually incorrect. One of the stipulations of having a security clearance is not telling anyone you have one in the first place. If you should know someone who has a clearance by remote chance, they are not going to hint, speak in broad or general terms. That is expressly forbidden. They are not allowed to speak about their job at all. Classified information is very compartmentalized and on a need to know basis. If you should know someone who has access to certain material, then they have already breached their confidentiality and security.

    Just the fact you think someone can speak in general terms lets me know you have no idea what you're talking about and why you do not see the significance of this investigation.

    And why does it matter if the Russians are behind it? Who cares! Its the content in the email that has been exposes is the issue. Not who got it.

    We are traitors? Your candidate takes foreign donations that intervene with American interest. By your own words, you are a traitor for supporting her.

    I'm not defending Russia, I'm pointing out its sad that a foreign government(this is even if it's true because nobody has confirmed it's Russia) exposes our truths while the vile disgusting media whose propaganda is on the levels of North Korea refuse to be neutral.

    Some people have no idea what's going on. It's strange.

    It's liberal hypocrisy.

    We are concerned about the content, not who gave it to us.

    Sorry we won't turn our nose to the truth if we like it or not.

    In 2010 Algeria was taken off the terror list.
    Would anyone like to tell me what action transpired prior to that happening? Someone please answer this.

    just wow! You are really stepping off into the fringe left. Now we are traitors. What next, we should be executed? Your anger is starting to scare me.

    Anyone who places the responsibility on Hillary are now traitors for not openly blaming other people or countries. That is pretty much half of America. Kill them all, Sweet Lou says.

    Strong borders.
    His Trade Policies.
    Lowering of taxes.

    Clinton wants Open Borders. That's a borderline deal killer for me. She also wants to tax my bracket more so.

    I think she's a liability in foreign affairs because her interest come down to one thing! Who will give me the most $$$.

    Its disgusting seeing post like Sweet Lou's.

    Hilary's rhetoric is much more authoritarian than people realize.

    You hate your neighbor (Russia). Someone breaks in your house without you knowing it. The thief steals a video tape and realizes he has something he can use against you. What he has is a video tape of your wife (Hillary) banging somr other guy.

    The thief makes the video tape public. You're convinced the thief is your neighbor. Does that mean you're gonna forget about your wife having sex with another guy because you're mad at your neighbor.

    you can be mad at them both, can't you?

    So out of your league that nothing you just said has anything to do with the significance of foreign powers hacking Americans to alter elections which is the subject of this thread. You don't understand the significance and what's worse, you don't even care. It's embarrassing to be an American when you read such ignorance on display.
