This fake news about Russia hacking our elections, what did they supposedly do?

Did they force us to vote for Trump at the polling booths? And why would Putin want Trump when Hillary was giving him 1/4 of our uranium?

    It's all coming from Obama, Soros, The Clintons, The Media, Deep State, etc. in an effort to take down Trump. Anyone with half a brain, knows that Russia did not manipulate the election. Undoubtedly, if they could, the would but they can't. The CIA would also attempt to manipulate foreign elections and has done so many times.

    Ever hear of propaganda? Evidently not. Your statement about Hillary and the Uranium shows just how much you really know about what goes on. Also an insight into how propaganda works.

    No, I don't suppose anyone forced you to vote for Trump. At the same time no one forced the people who voted for Hillary to vote for her or the people who didn't vote for either to vote for whomever they voted for. Whatever you say, the totals remain the same - Hillary - 65,746,544 / Trump - 62,904,682 / Other 8,000,000.

    What the Russians did was hack into several email accounts associated with Democrats and release the information, selectively, in a way designed to hurt Clinton. For example, prior to the Democratic convention they released some emails which involved DNC staffers talking trash about Bernie Sanders, Clinton's rival for the nomination.

    The Russians didn't want Clinton as president because they knew that she would be tougher on Russia. Putin had disliked her for years ever since she had publicly called one of his rigged elections in Russia as rigged. Clinton was also expected to continue the Obama era foreign policy of confronting Russia over it's human rights abuses at home and military adventurism abroad. Trump, for whatever reasons, was a much more pro-Russian candidate. He often took the Kremlin party line during the debates, even using Kremlin issued talking points about issues and, after the election, taking Putin's side against the CIA.

    Anyone in denial about the Russian Hacking is simply an idiot with their head up their ****

    It shouldn't matter whether you are Republican or Democrat -- any American that is not angered by it is either stupid or a supporter of the Russian state

    The questions are how much damage did it do to the electoral process ,and did it compromise the executive branch of government.

    The Evil in this world was so shocked at the result of our Presidential election that they have worked 24 seven to destroy Trump...they want him out and the like of a Hillary Rotten Clinton in his place. I am not a big Trump supporter but I can see anit American forces at work through the media, domestic and world wide. It will be four years of this crap, I only hope he and his cabinet can hang tough.

    There is no doubt that Russia manipulated our elections. Everybody agrees on that. Conservatives maintain that Trump had nothing to do with these efforts, but Michael Flynn's recent request for immunity suggests otherwise. Unfortunately, as long as Republicans control the investigation we will never hear the truth. That's why we need a special prosecutor.
