What is Meddling?

The whole world watched on Monday while this President stood with and a murderous thug KGB dictator and sided with him rather than his own hand-picked American law enforcement officials, as well as every hard working American in those agencies who work tirelessly to keep our country safe. All of those officials, and the agencies they head, have come to the same conclusion, that Putin ordered his intelligence agencies to disrupt our election.GromsDad said:
Wanting to find out why the President sided with Putin rather than his own hand-picked American government and officials is a completely rational response. Burying one's head in the sand to defend a reality TV star President over countless hard working Americans who've dedicated their careers to keep America safe is not only extremely cowardly, it is also dishonest and traitorous.

By this same argument, Iran would be completely justified in hacking into our nuclear infrastructure and we shouldn't investigate it if they do.Surfdog said:

New Attacks Spark Concerns About Iranian Cyber Threat
The point is that it is fully expected that foreign entities will try to hack. That's the reason countries have spies and intelligence agencies in the first place. This is nothing new. It always has been and it always will be. It is also the job of our FBI and CIA to protect our country from these very much expected covert attacks.
The real question is why did President Obama, his FBI Director James Comey and his CIA Director John Brennan fail so badly at preventing "meddling" when they were in charge leading up to the election and why are the both of them now undermining the winner of the election after they failed so miserably at their own jobs.

Ok do you guys have some examples to share with us of other foreign entities successfully interfering with our elections? When successful it should be just brushed off as normalcy?

Israel has been doing it for a long time... others are getting in on the game as well.
Manbear is making a big assumption when he tries to infer that Russia was successful in interfering with our election. He also makes a big and likely incorrect assumption that it never has happened before only since the information is not public knowledge.casa_mugrienta said:Do you actually think other foreign entities don't interfere with our elections?manbearpig said:

Whatever meddling happened in this election and past or future elections is the stuff that is of a Top Secret nature and generally wouldn't or shouldn't be released to the general public. This is why we have an FBI and a CIA. it seems like the media, the democrats and people inside the FBI and CIA are willing to burn everything down and discredit themselves over losing this election.
The whole assumption through this entire thing has been political campaigns don't communicate with representatives from foreign governments and that foreign governments do not attempt to affect election outcomes.
Let me also add that if the Democrats and the media cared even the slightest bit about our country they would unite around this president rather than selfishly work to undermine and overthrow him. If you believe in Russia Meddling the Democrats are doing everything the Russians could ever possibly dream of. There are times when petty partisanship should be put aside in our common National Interest and if the Democrats and the media had half a brain this would be one of those times.
