Russia Intervened to Help Trump
You can find this all over the interwebs. Just put the sentence in your search engine.
Foreign intervention in our elections goes back at least to the XYZ Affair. Probably still stinging from the Zimmerman Telegram, the German government of 1940 openly distanced itself from the American nazi party ("German American Bund"). During the Cold War, the Communist Party of the USA had zero status in the public eye. "Fair Play for Cuba" and other front groups were known, of course.
Allow me to deflect those here who would disparage the CIA and other intelligence agencies by saying that they serve the Democratic administration in opposition to President-elect Trump. Such ad hominem arguments do not address the facts... if facts there be.
President Obama tasked the entire intelligence bureaucracy to investigate those findings from the CIA. Whether induction will validate the hypothesis remains to be seen.
The deeper question is about Donald Trump, a man who is famous for deal making and infamous for his lack of principles. He is a range-of-the-moment pragmatist for whom even America's Constitution is on the table for a price.

Peter Bull identified the following evasion tactics
For answering questions:
#1 ignore the question
#2 acknowledge the question without answering it.
He finishes with "placing the responsibility to answer on someone else"
You employed those three so far!

December 12: "President-elect Donald Trump: "No, no, I get it when I—first of all, these are very good people that are giving me the briefings. And I say, if something should change from this point, immediately call me. I’m available on one minute’s notice. I don’t have to be told—you know, I’m like a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing and the same words every single day for the next eight years."
I will grant that "no excuses" is closest to an actual guideline that he seems to follow consistently. He is a bully - "two-fisted policies" - but he does not back down in a confrontation. So, I will give him that. He does prevaricate, but never says, "I'm sorry."
Your statement was made based on your conviction. I asked for your reason to make that statement. I am not a Trump apologist but I did vote for him. BTW I have a lot of respect for him after the last 6 mo.s he endured a concerted effort to destroy him and he withstood the daily onslaught. I will be disappointed if you don't respond to your claim.
Respectfully,
DOB
Re: (triple dog dare)
Donald Trump "I would center my presidency on 3 principals. One Term, two fisted policies, and no excuses. For voters it would be a business approach and the best one available in the market place. I'd lead by example."
I do believe the various towns, cities and states that have recounted or investigated and come up zilch.
1. Podesta ran the campaign from a gmail account and I'm doubting he used a 20 character alphanumeric and symbol password. This wouldn't require Russian state-sponsored security, only to snag his Galaxy phone - Hillary went through dozens of them after all.
2. If you listened to Comey, you would have thought he was recommending the death penalty, then nothing, no one would bother with this.
3. Huma thought her pedophile pervert husband'a laptop that he gets Lolita sexting on would be the perfect place for 6 years of state dempartment archives on.... I'll just let that one hang there.
If the Russians did it, it's because Putin couldn't stomach another 8 years of this. We're not his best friend, but the US brings stability.
In any case the whole idea is nonsense. How does anyone know A - that Russia was involved B - what their motivations are C even if a few polling booths were hacked, which I doubt, that could not influence an election. Machines are not tied to the internet so they couldn't be hacked. They would have to send an agent to change the hardware.
It is so absurd a theory that it has zero probability of being credible. It is just a another paranoid smear from the opposing Political party who are willing to believe anything
that will point away from their own failure.
Truth is the Russians already have influenced the country since the '50s with their communist propaganda that half the country has accepted.
Political correctness is Russian Political correctness not our original Political system. Trump is fighting that.
