How deep is the rabbit hole?

Mostly confirming what most of us suspected already. Especially that Putin keeps his fingers on cyber operations. The bigger question is, what did Trump campaign officials know, and when did they know it?

Vladimir Putin gave direct instructions to help elect Trump, report says

A report Friday morning claims Russian President Vladimir Putin gave direct instructions to help elect Donald Trump president.

According to a Washington Post investigation, former President Obama received a secret CIA report in August.

That report "captured Putin's specific instructions on the operation's audacious objectives - defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton."

WaPo: Obama admin 'choked' on Russia, former official says

A former Obama official said the previous administration "sort of choked" in its effort to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin over his attempts to influence the US presidential election in Donald Trump's favor, The Washington Post reported Friday.

"It is the hardest thing about my entire time in government to defend," the former senior Obama administration official told the Post. "I feel like we sort of choked."

Linky.

You link to CBS, but then they link to the WaPo which was purchased by a Silicon Valley tech-type billionaire who has made it his goal to destroy Trump and the WaPo has already been nailed on more than one occasion printing "news" that simply wasn't true...

Questioning the source is your prerogative, but the notion that Putin was directly involved in these cyber operations is being reported independently from WaPo.

You can't "prove" that their immense cadre of "unnamed sources" are not just simply frequently mistaken rather than made up out of whole cloth. . .

Did you even read the link?

CBS is not reporting what they discovered but what the WaPo discovered.

CBS knew that it did not have any confirmation of the report (like the Trump dossier) so it sat on it.

The WaPo is not independent confirmation because they reveal no new, or corroborating source. Paglia had it right; the Left has killed journalism...

All CBS is doing is saying ME TOO!!!

Mistakes happen...

As in Johnny Dangerously, the WaPo and now CBS, "know" the grapevine.

Therefore, when the official news is no collusion, they understand that the message is that Putin ordered it and Trump collaborated and is now obstructing justice by covering up his crime to steal the election despite all official testimony that the Russians had no real influence on our election, which clearly resides only in the fertile imaginations of those whom also "knew" that it was Hillary in a landslide.

The point of the exercise is to keep digging in the hopes that no one will notice that there's nothing in the hole.

I have no idea where I read it but there were unnamed sources claiming that the Obama Administration has prepared computer bombs to blow up infrastructure in Russia in retaliation and left them for Trump who of course didn't do anything because he colluded with Russia.

If nothing happens to Russia's infrastructure it "proves" something.

Let's just assume for the sake of discussion that such an outlandish claim was actually true. It will be handy to be able to disable infrastructure in Russia should we find ourselves in a shooting war with them. So letting out that information for political purposes is traitorous.

Okay,

Russian election hacking was ‘political equivalent of 9/11’: Michael Vickers, former intel official

Russia conducted an operation on par with the September 11 terrorist attacks by interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, career intelligence official Michael Vickers said Saturday.

“This attack is really the political equivalent of 9/11 — it is deadly, deadly serious,” Mr. Vickers, a former Green Beret, CIA operative and undersecretary of defense for intelligence, told NBC News in an interview regarding Moscow’s role in last year’s race.

Linky.

You should read again what I wrote, since you obviously didn't understand. Once you've done that, check out this link.

Putin ordered hacking to help Trump, intelligence report says

The conclusion that Putin was involved in the cyber attacks predates the WaPo article by nearly half a year.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Trace the links, I just did.



They all report back to the one "report" with zero corroboration.

Sword of Damocles. Putin didn't have to "order" anything anymore that Lois Lerner had to be "ordered" to target Tea Party 401Cs...

"The conclusion that Putin was involved in the cyber attacks predates the WaPo article by nearly half a year."



Like CBS knew it previously?


Same report. WaPO just dredged it up to throw ore kerosine on the fire. One that they think is a funeral pyre, but one that might be consuming the credibility of the Democrat Press Corps.

Cite that the authors of the declassified intelligence report from January and the WaPo source were one and the same?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Show me that they weren't.


I read your links, I don't think you did.

I'm not the one making the assertion.

Point being, the conclusion that Putin was directly involved with these cyber attacks predates the WaPo article, hence is being reported independently from WaPo. Attempting to discredit WaPo does nothing to discredit that conclusion.
