Lets say Russia didn't do the hacking and it was just some guy in a room like Trump says. A guy like this...

That would mean that what we now have is a bipartisan conspiracy that includes the President and his executive branch, Democratic Leadership, the GOP Senate Majority Leader as well as others like John McCain & Lindsay Graham along with multiple agencies of the largely apolitical intelligence community all working in concert to point their finger at the guy who has his finger on the button of what is probably the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Wouldn't it be wildly irresponsible for all these people and agencies to just make this kind of sh!t up? Are they doing it all in hopes of bringing down Trump by proxy? Cause it seems like a wildly risky tactic to me.

There's no need for any bipartisan conspiracy theory.

We have anonymous sources speaking out to media intent on instigating hype combined with members of Congress responding to claims made by intelligence agencies.

If there's a conspiracy - and there's absolutely reason to think there is a conspiracy t - it's going on behind the scenes of intelligence agencies.

Sucks to be Trump - this puts him in a pretty bad place. See john4surf's post in the Trump dump CIA thread.

So the President, the Republican Senate Majority Leader, Democratic and Republican senators and congressmen are all getting their info on this from the WaPo and nowhere else?

Reading comprehension.

I'll say it again. Two parts:

- anonymous sources speaking to a rabid news media.
- members of Congress responding to information fed to them by intelligence agencies

What happened to, "there is no such thing as voter fraud."

You can't make this sh!t up. At todays press conference Trump paraded out Attorney Sheri Dillon of Morgan Lewis to break down his alleged divestment. It's like Putin himself hand picked her...

Apparently Trump's law firm is the best Russia has.
