    Trump's response is to trash the CIA. Bet they're excited for his leadership in a month:

    Given the seriousness with which he took Pizzagate, no doubt General Flynn will be all over this.

    One of the biggest electoral college victories in history??

    Of the 57 election, he has the 12th *worst* percentage of electoral votes. Worse than both Obamas, Clintons and Papa Bush's electoral college %.

    Since it went to 538, he is behind 9 other campaigns. The total Electoral vote total, he's like 21st.

    Following is the full text of a statement from a senior administration official, issued to The New York Times on Friday in response to questions about the federal government’s investigation into the integrity of the Nov. 8 presidential election. The government issued the statement to The Times on the condition that it be attributable only to a senior official.

    The Kremlin probably expected that publicity surrounding the disclosures that followed the Russian Government-directed compromises of e-mails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations, would raise questions about the integrity of the election process that could have undermined the legitimacy of the President-elect. Nevertheless, we stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people.

    The Federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day. As we have noted before, we remained confident in the overall integrity of electoral infrastructure, a confidence that was borne out on election day. As a result, we believe our elections were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.

    That said, since we do not know if the Russians had planned any malicious cyber activity for election day, we don’t know if they were deterred from further activity by the various warnings the U.S. government conveyed.

    It's almost as if they're lying intentionally to force a fake narrative...

    Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia

    WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead — which they ultimately came to doubt — about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.

    Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.

    NY Times invested huge sums and time of its reporters trying to win for the criminal. They're butt hurt.

    If anything, given their huge bump in subscriptions after Trump won, you'd think they'd be happy!

    Denny, you have kind of an obsession with butts getting hurt. I'm starting to think you need to find a good dominatrix.

    Your own NYTimes link form yesterday:

    One senior government official, who had been briefed on an F.B.I. investigation into the matter, said that while there were attempts to penetrate the Republican committee’s systems, they were not successful.

    But the intelligence agencies’ conclusions that the hacking efforts were successful, which have been presented to President Obama and other senior officials, add a complex wrinkle to the question of what the Kremlin’s evolving objectives were in intervening in the American presidential election.
    But Clinton's personal server wasn't hacked.

    LOL

    I think you need to consider the source.

    People blamed Cheney/Bush for cherry picking conflicting intelligence.

    Yet they're happy to do so when they think it explains why the worst candidate in history actually lost.
