    The ebullient reaction among high-ranking Russian officials – including some who U.S. officials believe had knowledge of the country’s cyber campaign to interfere in the U.S. election – contributed to the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow’s efforts were aimed at least in part at helping Trump win the White House, the Post reported.

    So is this the conclusive evidence??
    If so half the US must have also hacked the DNC because many of us where and are in a high!

    Getting more bizarre by the minute. Anything to take away the news from Trump.
    Its over in two weeks and it couldnt feel any longer!

    Ha ha ha!~
    Intercept? The Russians put this out on their national TV to taunt the Democrats!
    I saw it on RT TV on YouTube quite a while ago! Other youtubers also showed this footage. It was hilarious! Although it was on national Russian TV, it was obvious they had the American viewers in mind!
    How ludicrous to say this was an intercept!

    Don’t celebrate too much, Trumpsters. The new head of the DNI, is as anti Russian as one can get. He’ll set the orange mess straight from his illusions about Putin and his FSB and GRU henchmen.

    I guess after dealing with a 2 year old for 8 years not only is Russia celebrating, but I bet most of the worlds countries are celebrating, they may get a few adults in the room and maybe the world will calm down again, for a little white at least.
