Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-N.C., asked if Clapper's prior statement was correct, when he said on NBC that there was "no evidence' of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. When asked if that is still accurate, Clapper said Monday, "it is."

I'm not sure, but we've tried to interfere in what, 81 elections abroad in the last several years? I'll defer to our experts in D.C.
First the US has to explain HOW the hacks occurred (social or electronic), what systems were compromised, what type of data was compromised, the manner, etc.
Then with that pertinent information in hand we can develop systems and procedures, nationwide, that work to prevent those type of penetrations from occurring again.
This is an issue that goes beyond a government agency solving the problem, but individuals and corporations as a whole. That's why being told, "Well 17 agencies say they did it...." is not good enough. Details are needed so action can be taken by all, as this entire country needs an education on cyber security and what it means to be secure in the digital age.
I don't play close attention to Israel's election. Perhaps the Obama admin thought it was better fro America if the other guy won? What happened to America First
You can LOL all you want, and not take cyber security seriously. But I know enough about information systems and security to know the nation better take it more serious than we currently do.
Of course we do. I'm laughing at you needing more proof than every western intel agency. Maybe it was that 400lb Chinese man.
Hacking the DNC's email server isn't good. Having people run it that allowed it is worse. Hilliary was her own worst enemy. If she hadn't been trying to subvert the FOIA, she probably would have been President. I think Putin was being Putin and just trying to have some fun at our elections expense. if you beleive reports, even Putin believed HRC was going to win.
Subverting the FOIA by having an offsite server was far more egregious. She should be prosecuted for that.
Again, don't think you understand my point. We were talking about France in the quoted message. You seem to have a very unhealthy obsession with Clinton, so I'll help you out. She lost.
I never saw any reference to France. I just saw your response to me. There was nothing in it about France. Russia has always been about being devious, nothing new there.
I'm just amazed that you guys think this started under Putin and that it was not occurring as far back as the early 1900s after the revolution in Russia. Russia was heavily involved in organizing and influencing the 60s civil rights stuff. They've been involved in every election, this time though, the script flipped and it was the DNC that was the victim. The Russians and all of the world powers involve themselves to a degree into the elections. The story here in my mind is how naive the left has been to it. Hell, it's been proven that we've done it in France and Israel. We've certainly done it all of South and Central America. Greece, Hungary, Czech, Africa, and basically everywhere.
The left is capitalizing on the narrative to help explain why they lost a sure thing to one of the most improbable candidates in modern history. Is it important to know how they did it? Yes, it's always been important to understand that. Is it important to know if Trump's campaign was colluding? Yes, of course. Do I think the latter actually occurred? No. But to act like this is some anomaly and that it's the first time is disingenuous at best. It does however fit the left's narrative to help offset them having to take an introspective look at why their message didn't resonate with mainstream america.
It's all a hoax, the President said so, sleep easy, the articulate anti-Christ black man is gone. That is all they care about, imagine if Obama had done one of the myriad of stupid **** trump does daily. Only guilty twits tweet. Damn, if nobody was a lawbreaking leaker we could still have Flynn working security. Ignorance is bliss for the GOP base as long as the president looks like them and stokes their fear of the real world.
And when he recognized his mistake, he said he was sorry about that. Wish there was that on the dems side when they misspeak.
