LTC Orlando Illi Your response is the best I have seen on this topic. You make great points. If there is a problem, what is the guy who is getting a taxpayer salary (Pres O) doing about it?

Jim if liberals truly really believe that Russia was responsible for Clinton's loss then the President should immediately break diplomatic ties with Russia, send their Ambassador home, close all Russian Legations in the U.S. and ask Congress to confirm that a state of war exists between our two nations. The fact that he has not speaks volumes. Additionally, the fact that the FBI, whose evidentiary standards require it to make cases that can stand up in court, declined to accept the CIA's analysis. Further, multiple secondary sources point to the fact that the CIA conclusion (that was forwarded via an anonymous source without supporting evidence of intent) was a "...judgment based on the fact that Russian entities hacked both Democrats and Republicans and only the Democratic information was leaked...." Any first year law student will tell you that that conclusion would not stand up under even the most liberal rules of evidentiary standards and defies logic. In point of fact other CIA Analysts stated that the anonymous CIA conclusion was predicated upon "...a thin reed upon which to base an analytical judgment ..." So if was a whining apoplectic liberal I would be more angry at Podesta, Mook and Palmieri who were so ignorant of technology and cyber security that they consented to conduct a Presidential Campaign using G-mail. Seriously? To assume that Google and G-mail is a secure environment from which to run a campaign free of foreign cyberattacks is not only laughable it also points to a singular stupidity that defies logic. A newly minted 2LT would never make that mistake. Liberals may not want to admit this but Clinton lost because out of 3141 counties in the United States she lost 3084 and only won 57. Said another way; there are 53 cities in America whose metro areas exceed 1 million in population. In 2016 Hillary Clinton won 47 of those 53 cities, a result that encompassed 154 million people, or 48 per cent of the population. However, her campaign ignored the 52 per cent of the population that encompasses the rural vote and that rural vote beat her and her urban voters, and it beat them badly. These were the voters that she arrogantly and divisively referred to as bigots and deplorable human beings. It is also the very same voters that DNC pollsters evidently failed to take into account; and they number in the multi-millions. In point of fact Clinton's loss in the 2016 election came down to the plight of Rust Belt voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan and Wisconsin that she ignored. So again if apoplectic whining liberals want to be angry - they should be angry at the 30 something geniuses who ran a 1.2 Billion Dollar campaign and lost 194 of the 207 counties that voted for Obama either in 2008 or 2012 and thus propelled Trump to the Whitehouse. Liberals can blame the Russians, the FBI and the Klingon Empire for Clinton's loss. But the fact remains the Conway remembered what Podesta arrogantly ignored - the main maxim of Political Science 101 that all politics are local -and she cleaned his clock in middle America.
