TakeYouToTasker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well, we live in a Republic, not a democracy, so... Please enlighten us: what is the distinct feature of a republic, when compared to a democracy, which prescribes that an intelligence agency, at political odds with another intelligence agency, attempts to invalidate the results of an election?

Like I said, the EC. Of course there was not set of limitations placed upon what would sway the EC's vote, whether it was the media, popular opinion or the opinion of a government agency. If the EC wanted to vote Hillary in, they can. Are not Republics grand? He can barely read your sentence let alone answer it. Oh boy, the "journalism" guy has spoken.

TakeYouToTasker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Not sure what needs clarified. Not sure why you are upset, your boy will win anyway ... The CIA, or at least some of it's current and/or former operatives, are suggesting that the election should be decertified. They are doing this in opposition to the FBI, who actually has the apparatus to investigate cyber crime, while they do not. None of this has anything to do with the Electoral College, unless of course you believe that our intelligence agencies have legitimate standing to tamper with our election process. That's what needed clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Sam SteinVerified account @samsteinhp 18h18 hours ago Harry Reid tells us the Trump campaign ‘was in on’ Russia’s election hacking http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/harry-reid-russia-donald-trump_us_584f0df0e4b0e05aded537cd?6e134pod9rxktvs4i … Hey HuffPo..........Might it merit a mention in this story that Reid has publicly and proudly lied about prior Republican presidential candidates? Oct 2016: These emails are a boring nothingburger which we shall ignore. Dec 2016: These emails are the reason we lost, we need a re-vote!

Oct 2016: These emails are a boring nothingburger which we shall ignore. Dec 2016: These emails are the reason we lost, we need a re-vote! http://freebeacon.com/politics/harry-reid-justifies-lying-about-romney-from-senate-floor-he-didnt-win-did-he/ “Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t,” Reid said on the Senate floor without any evidence to back his accusations. When asked about his comments by CNN’s Dana Bash, Reid never rejected the notion his words were “McCarthyite” in nature. He admitted no wrongdoing. “Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid said. “Romney didn’t win, did he?” Reid’s approach of the ends justifying the means is sure to upset many and is likely to further propel Reid’s reputation of being a dirty politician.

And the Russians didn't force people to vote a certain way, much less change votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Do you think it is the legitimate roll of the CIA to execute a coup? If they convince EC how to vote its a coup? What FBI did was wrong, very wrong, but not sure I'd call it a coup The election has never been about getting the most overall votes. And the Russians didn't force people to vote a certain way, much less change votes. I know, its about winning the vote of the EC. Which Hillary could still do, actually.
