‘Give it a rest’: Social media mocks Senator claiming Russia may be behind new Clinton FBI probe

 http://www.rt.com/usa/364674-clinton-fbi-russia-probe/

People on social media shamed US Democratic Senator Tom Ryan, who claimed Russia might actually be behind the reopening of Hillary Clintons’ email probe by the FBI over new leaked messages.

On October 28, FBI director James Comey announced that the Bureau has learned of new emails involving Hillary Clinton’s private email server during her time as a Secretary of State. Comey said the agency will “take appropriate investigative steps” and review the new information.

In a CNN interview, US Democratic Senator Tim Ryan alleged Russia may be behind the new leak, causing the probe.

“So the question is: Where did these come from? How did they get to the FBI? Is Russia involved in this? We don’t have a clue where this stuff is coming from,” Ryan said.

The allegation, however, did not sit well with some people on social media.

“This wins brain-dead of the day,” one person said.

Others suggested that the American public already had enough of allegations implying Russia’s meddling into US affairs. “It's the Russkies! I think Americans have already had enough of this constant Russian-blaming.”

Another person was surprised to find out the comment was in fact not a sarcastic one. “When I first saw this quote, I laughed, thinking it was a funny and sarcastic comment. Turns out this nut is serious!”

“Oh gee whiz- give it a rest,” another tweet said.

American journalist Glen Greenwald, who published a series of reports on US global surveillance programs based on leaks by Edward Snowden, also weighed in on the discussion.

Need to do a pool to guess which Dem journalist will be the first to find that Comey visited Moscow as a student or once went on RT.

“Need to do a pool to guess which Dem journalist will be the first to find that Comey visited Moscow as a student or once went on RT,” he joked on Twitter.

It’s not the first time Moscow has been linked to potential interference in US internal affairs, including elections.

On October 7, Washington officially accused the Russian government of having “directed” hack attacks against American officials and institutions, though no evidence backing the allegation was presented to the public, with Moscow calling the accusation “nonsense.”

Speaking to RT, political scientist and former military officer Brad Cabana said that the Hillary Clinton camp is simply using Russia as a defense tool.

“It's a continuation of the previous defensive position of the Clinton campaign to essentially blame Russia, cast doubts in the minds of the American public,” Cabana said.

In July, the FBI recommended no charges be brought against Clinton for her handling of classified information as secretary of state, despite stating the Democratic presidential candidate acted in an “extremely careless” way.

Cabana added that this rhetoric is in fact an attempt to distract public attention from the actual information which has been revealed.

"It's a deflection to cause the American people to focus on the Russian angle as opposed to the content of the emails quite frankly.”

Yet the political analyst noted that there is still “a great thirst” among the public to learn what’s been discovered in the latest batch of Clinton emails.

Fort Russ News Editor-in-Chief Joaquin Flores echoed the thoughts, suggesting that Tim Ryan simply fell for the notorious anti-Russia rhetoric in the US.

“He [Ryan] goes, you know what, it was the Russians. Because this is what he has been told, this is what he’s been hammered into his head. Everything bad about Hillary just aides the Russians,” Flores said

“I do not think he [Ryan] thought that one through. There were no documents.”

However, the absence of any evidence linking Moscow to the FBI decision did not stop Clinton supporter and former Vermont governor Howard Dean from reaching some far-fetched conclusions.

“Ironically Comey put himself on the same side as Putin,” Dean wrote on Twitter.

“Russians are the ones who Americans picked to play the bad guys in movies in politics, in this you know, sort of Cold War scenario that’s re-emerging.” Flores told RT.

That view is shared by political analyst Robin Koerner, who is also an author and the publisher of news service Watching America.

"People say what suits them and suits their side before they get the data right. This is what we've been used to in the United States. It's unfortunate, but it is so," he told RT.

Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his own take on the allegation that Moscow is meddling in the US election campaign.

“Does anyone seriously think that Russia can somehow influence the choice of the American people?” Putin wondered during a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on October 27.

“Is America some sort of banana republic?” he asked rhetorically.

Putin also noted that the ‘Russian card’ is being played by the American “elite” to brush under the carpet real problems the US is now facing.

“It is far better to distract people's attention to alleged Russian hackers, spies, agents of influence and so on and so forth,” he said.

I have been reading this bozo for days.

" He might as well say.... be a good slave & pay no attention to Clinton crimes. Obama wants war, read my propoganda "


* Dramatic Music *

the American People are doing quite well without Vlad's help to mess up yet another Election!
I suppose they put all that Crap on Wienie's Laptop!

Ever since, PUTIN was named THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET.

The White House has been having a hissy fit.

I play it safe,, I'm tired of all the suspicious and sudden last minute 'newsflashes',,,,

I stick to the proven history, documented records and candidates own words

I think its the only safe way in a trash media world where people can literally allege anything and tie any number of details together to interpret into conspiracies,,,,


but that's just me,,,,I know the allegations and conspiracies will weigh in quite heavily to the votes of many,,,,

imo......not a very surprising article, considering that RT.com news is
an english language outlet funded by the Russian government....

seems the Dems got WEINERED!

8 years under a demoncrap POTUS who is also the 1st black to ever attain the office, but look at the results!

The country is now more divided than ever, our friends and allies are now our enemies or at the very least alienated as we now prop up our enemies, their religion, their customs..... in our America!

We condone the disrespect of our own pledge of alligence, the soldies dead and mamed who served protecting us, allow a corrupt candidate who is a proven liar and has violated our nations laws of secrecy, manipulated the political election process, ignored congressional supeonas, whose staff and associates have ALL plead the 5th and even refused to answer those supeonas brought by the investigations, and has thrown the ME into chaos thru bad policy decisions, to run for our highest office.

Bathrooms are no longer safe for our children! Sanctuary cities don't allow us to deport illegal aliens accused of violent crimes! Our police are under attack! Our national debt has doubled! Our armed forces are depleted and under funded. We are being forced out of countries who have been our friends and allies for decades! Our Constitution, religious liberties, and freedom of speech and expression are under attack by the PC of the left! Growth has stagnated, full time jobs and benefits are a thing of the past! Healthcare has become a ponsi scheme with premiums and deductibles so high only those who qualify to get it free can afford it! Education has become a joke! Your opinions or actions surely offends someone so actions must be taken to resend your right to them under some PC law.... screw your Bill of Rights!

Personally, I've had enough of this demon crap shite!

New Clinton emails found during Anthony Weiner sexting probe

is there any validation for any of the above claims?

we have ALWAYS been divided,, but how are we measuring what is 'more divided'?,,,,I bet Japanese felt much more 'division' in past history than now,,,black people and women too,,,

people have always 'disrespected' the customs and traditions others revere,, from the flag to prayer,, but that's the point of a 'free' country,,isn't it?

police have smaller numbers of deaths this year than most in the past

reality is because we are 'hearing' about things more often(more media sources) doesn't mean they are happening any more often than they have been


,,,I could go on,, but its a task addressing posts with so many unusbustantiated and/or unquantifiable allegations

Have some more koolaid!

nah,, you can have my serving too,,,

No thanks, never use it. The sweetner hides the health risks. Just like demoncrapic rhetoric

well, I prefer facts and consistency to koolaid and biased speculation


and facts can be verified and backed with sources,,,

Carlos Danger may have opened Pandora’s Box for Huma and Hillary
By Thomas Lifson

The criminal investigation underway over Anthony Weiner’s alleged child sex infraction has a couple of characteristics that make it especially awkward for Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin, the estranged wife of Weiner and close companion of Hillary.

Ed Timperlake points out to me that in an underage sex investigation, all electronic communications of the investigative target are pursued. This probably led to the grand jury that was announced 11 days ago issuing a subpoena for all of the devices in the possession of Weiner and his family, including Huma. As Lucianne Goldberg quipped, they even seize the Speak & Spell toys in these cases. This grand jury is in New York, possibly less poltiically supervised than the first Hillary email investigation.

Evidently, some of these devices were not turned over in the first investigation and contained “pertinent” emails. We do not know with certainty, but some reports indicate the pertinent emails may have been found on Weiner’s laptop. Recall that the initial investigation did not convene a grand jury and did not therefore have subpoena power. It is possible that Huma Abedin misled the FBI over the existence of pertinent emails on her then-husband’s computing devices.

So what could have been on the laptop Carlos Danger used for sexting?

Adam Yoshida, with a background in information technology consulting for affluent and powerful people emails:

…Clinton [was] using e-mails seemingly like most people use IMs or text messaging. Her holding onto Blackberries (and seven switching back to older models when the software was upgraded) [demonstrates this]. It might even explain at least SOME of the motivation for the e-mail server itself. I’ve seen plenty of cases where a powerful person says basically, “I want my e-mails on this thing” and, regardless of whether it’s a good solution, people respond, “ready-aye-ready.”

So, what could they have found on Weiner’s computers that would have caused such alarm?

I’d think one of two things:

1) Either that Huma signed in her e-mail account at one point and, presumably, it being Exchange or IMAP, dumped the whole account onto the computer and that account has plenty of e-mails between her and Clinton that were deleted.

Or -

2) There’s mention of Huma having a Yahoo account to which she would forward things for printing purposes. This struck me right away because, of course, printers are often difficult to configure as are e-mail accounts. It struck me as strange, yet very believable, that she mentioned that she’d forward stuff to that Yahoo account to print them. I mean, printing in theory should be platform agnostic, but - if you’re technically unsophisticated - you might have serious problems trying to setup an e-mail account or a printer on a device. Thus I imagine a scenario where she has a portable machine that either she can’t (or can’t be, for some reason) configured to use her home printer and a desktop machine (I imagine an slightly-older iMac here) that’s physically connected to the printer that serves as a shared “family computer” or whatever. She either can’t setup the e-mail account on that computer (perhaps it requires a VPN or something like that) or doesn’t want to, so she forwards everything that she wants to print to the Yahoo account that she does have setup on that computer. The FBI takes this computer as part of the Weiner investigation and, bam, they find thousands of e-mail messages - again, evidence of what was destroyed earlier.

Now, consider for a moment Anthony Weiner’s future. His wife dumped him, and he is of no use to the Clintons anymore. Penalties for online sex crimes tend to be severe, and child sex offenders are reported to do extremely unpleasant time in prison. Ed Timperlake thinks:

It has been said and also demonstrated by his actions that Anthony Weiner is a real self-centered narcissist. If he remains true to his character, there is a possibility that he will consider cutting a deal for a lesser sentence in return for evidence and testimony against Clinton Inc.

I bet he knows a lot.

Aside from his genitals, I don’t think Weiner has a reputation as a stand-up guy.

For 50+ years, libs have been suckin' Soviet... Tailpipe.
Protesting against American defense,
and the coldwar.


And, now?


Any distraction, to get
kommisar clinton in the whitehouse.
She's a fine socialist stooge.

glad to be as 'flattering' as the Hillary memes
