WASHINGTON (AP) — A new declassified report says Russian President Vladimir Putin “ordered” an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.
U.S. intelligence officials released the 25-page public version of the report Friday, after they briefed President-elect Donald Trump and top lawmakers on Capitol Hill from a longer, classified version.
The report says Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election represent the most recent expression of Moscow’s long-standing desire to undermine the U.S.-led liberal democratic order. It says the scope of Russia’s activities was significantly larger compared with previous operations.
After his briefing, Trump stopped short of embracing the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the presidential campaign, saying only that any hacking attempts had “absolutely no effect” on the outcome of the election.

I want to see Trump’s taxes. And, I want to see an inventory of his assets and indebtedness. If Trump has offshore assets or indebtedness, in or held by Russian institutions or individuals or otherwise, his actions as President may be compromised or influenced by his property and/or financial entanglements. Transparency now!
This is all so wrong!
They are handing us over ever so fucking politely to a fucking insane traitor.
Pretty much what I expected. If I understand this correctly, RT was the go between that conveyed hacked information to Wikileaks. There’s nothing I can find that ties directly or indirectly to Trump or his campaign. Putin got the PEOTUS he wanted and Wikileaks helped him. So still “His Illegitimacy”.
Edit: There’s nothing that I can find in the report…
Guess Sean Insanity will fellate Assange on the tv machine tonight.
We need an immediate investigation of Trump campaign officials and advisors–Stone, Manafort, Bannon, others. What did they know and when did they know it? What contacts did they have with Russian officials or intelligence operatives? What was the nature of those contacts? Some of these folks have admitted they were talking to the Russians during the campaign, I suspect our intelligence folks are aware of these contacts. This bullshit must not stand.
