You seem perfectly content to have Bolton and Michael Flynn spewing demonstrably ridiculous and false shit like this while complaining that the NYTimes correctly reported the nature of the CIA's intelligence assessment.

Oh, you mean the October 7th memo that also stated that the Russian activity couldn't influence the election?

The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.

So, how again was the Kremlin going to influence the election in favor or Trump?

If there's anyone who would know unhinged, it would be you Finn.

Oh, I see. So, even though it was specifically against the DNC by-laws, you're saying that it was perfectly OK for Debbie and others in the DNC to make the decision to tip the scales for Hillary because "he was never one of their own." Pretty friggin lousy attempt at justification.

And you know damn right well that I was not "justifying" Russia's actions. Keep flailing, though. You'll hit the target eventually. "Karma's a bitch", "what goes around comes around", "comeuppance"...pick your favorite expression. Debbie and company screwed Sanders, so no one should be weeping for them if their actions got them broomed.
