Clapper: "Russian Hacking" (sic) did not change vote tallies

[crimethink]

So, he has just admitted that the Obama regime and the DNC Politburo are angry only because whomever did the hacking RELEASED THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC. Period.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that the Russians did not alter vote counts in the U.S. election.

"They did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort," Clapper said under questioning from Chairman John McCain (R.-Ariz.)

Clapper further implicitly conceded that whatever the Russians might have done in making Democratic National Committee emails available to the public, the outcome of the U.S. presidential election nonetheless reflected "the choices" of American voters.

"We had no way of gauging the impact that—certainly the intelligence community cannot gauge the impact--it [Russian cyber activities] had on the choices the electorate made," Clapper told McCain.

Later in the hearing, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) asked Clapper, “the intelligence community says, ‘It would be extremely difficult for someone – including a nation-state actor to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyberattack or intrusion,’ and you say to that earlier today as well that we have no evidence that vote tallies were altered or manipulated in anyway?”

“That’s correct,” Clapper said.

I'd be satisfied if he was treated like Admiral Stockdale - a real Prisoner of War - was, during the time McCainiac gained weight in captivity (by helping the enemy). A good beating or two every day for months would suffice.

McCain's claim to be a "POW" is nothing but stolen valor. A huge lie. You're not a POW when you collaborate willingly.

Good.

Never again will the result of US elections be questioned. Trump voters were probably the most sceptical prior to this debacle. Now they have all testified to the integrity of the US elections...

There's a reason his nickname was "Song bird" while he was a "POW".

Thanks Crimethink. I learn something new every day. I never knew...

I disagree. I believe there was a lot of cheating at the polls, the cheaters didn't account for the backlash from 'unlikely voters'

Both the intelligence reports this far have been garbage. Zero evidence has been presented to the public.

If they aren't going to present evidence, I ask that they GTFO. Their 'opinions' don't mean shit to me.

I'm not sure how old you are, so it may be "before your time." I was 21 at the time, and Admiral Stockdale was Ross Perot's running mate in the 1992 Presidential race. Not a politician or other polished liar by any means, but he still shined during the debate.

"It's classified."

That's the standard horseshit spewed when someone in "intelligence" has no evidence to give.

Ok, young un, lol. In 1992, I was 33 years old. To tell the truth, I did not see his debate. In fact, I didn't really pay attention to politics as I was working excessive hours for my then Family.

It is only now that I am older that I actually try to learn some history and stay up with current events. I actually hated history in high school. I do not like the MSM. I look at this forum and Drudge for 90 percent of my news.

That's why I like this forum. Persons like you and others here have a good grasp on things.

I do remember Ross Perot going off on George Bush, then Bush was elected president. I don't know what happened there's

I also remember Kennedy being assassinated. I was 4 years old, in day care, in Dallas watching Romper Room when the news broke in.

I also remember watching a Curtis Mathis black and white TV when they were pulling lottery numbers. I did not know what the deal was until everyone started crying. It was then when I learned it was numbers for boys to go to Viet Nam and the tears were for the boy next door. He didn't make it.

Enough of an old dog and his memories.

I believe Perots daughter was going to be married and her life was threatened, that's when Perot dropped out.

It seems farfetched at this point that they would declare the elections illegal. But maybe they expect new elections shortly?...

However AJ has been hyperbole prone before...

Jonestown is getting more and more insane.

There isn't a fucking thing these Niggerboys can do. Trump's Electoral College vote is final. Only Congress itself can overturn the election - they chose not to - and the Marines will be removing the Nigger if he tries anything to prevent President Trump. At Noon on January 20th, Donald John Trump becomes the President. The Nigger has zero authority at High Noon that day.

In other words, shut the fuck up, Jones.

Hyperbole is not a strong enough word for Jonestown.

Deliberate disinformation. Outright lies. Those work much better.

He is an entertainer, and his audience enjoys it. It makes them feel like "insiders." I hate to say it, but Jonestown has a few cult-members even here at GSUS.

Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed that it had contact with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's campaign team prior to Tuesday's election.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told journalists on Thursday that his ministry had such contacts during the campaign and would continue to maintain them afterward. When asked if Russia would try to intensify those contacts, Ryabkov said that it would depend on the situation and issues Russia faces.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed his hopes for better U.S.-Russia relations in a press conference following a meeting in Benin.

"We certainly hope that the relations between Russia and the United States, which are now experiencing a very, very unfavorable period, will improve and become normal, that meets the interests of our peoples and the interests of the entire international community," Lavrov said.
