Putin Ordered The 2016 Democratic Hack & More About Trump & Russia Ties

[RAMROD 117,155]

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the 2016 hacking of Democratic Party accounts and the release of emails intended to harm Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in the final report of its Russia probe, which also found no evidence that President Donald Trump colluded with Moscow.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president,” the bipartisan panel wrote in the report, which was released Tuesday. “Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

The committee’s three-year probe found numerous contacts between Trump associates and Russians or people with ties to the Russian government, as well as efforts by Trump to take advantage of the leaks politically. But several Republicans wrote that the committee “did not find evidence of collusion between President Trump and the Russians.”

The report also lays out in detail evidence about Trump’s secret pursuit of a Trump Tower Moscow deal in 2015 and 2016 during his presidential campaign via his personal attorney, Michael Cohen -- something the committee believes Putin almost certainly was aware of -- and Donald Trump Jr.’s efforts to obtain damaging information about Hillary Clinton from Russians at a 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

The report also details the Trump campaign’s efforts via Roger Stone to get advance knowledge of future leaks of Democratic emails via Wikileaks.

The timing of those leaks would have a major impact at a key moment during the campaign, coming just after the early October 2016 release of an “Access Hollywood” tape featuring Trump using vulgar language about women.

Stone also drafted a series of suggested pro-Russia tweets for Trump, sending them to one of his assistants saying they were requested by Trump himself.

One of the suggested tweets was: “I want a new detente with Russia under Putin.” Trump didn’t send that tweet.

Republicans wont take foreign meddling seriously until China or Iran does something to benefit Biden. Then all of a sudden it will be an issue. Trump LITERALLY said in an interview that he would still accept foreign intelligence for his campaign

Remember when those republicans came up with the slogan, “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat,” a few years back? Lol
