The New York Times reports this morning that the Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Election Hacking<\/a>;<\/p>\n

At the Obama White House, Mr. Trump\u2019s statements stoked fears among some that intelligence could be covered up or destroyed \u2014 or its sources exposed \u2014 once power changed hands. What followed was a push to preserve the intelligence that underscored the deep anxiety with which the White House and American intelligence agencies had come to view the threat from Moscow.<\/p>\n

It also reflected the suspicion among many in the Obama White House that the Trump campaign might have colluded with Russia on election email hacks \u2014 a suspicion that American officials say has not been confirmed. Former senior Obama administration officials said that none of the efforts were directed by Mr. Obama.<\/p>\n

Sean Spicer, the Trump White House spokesman, said, \u201cThe only new piece of information that has come to light is that political appointees in the Obama administration have sought to create a false narrative to make an excuse for their own defeat in the election.\u201d He added, \u201cThere continues to be no there, there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t understand – at the very worst, the Trump campaign is guilty of doing nothing while the Russians broadcast actual emails from the Clinton campaign. There was no hacking of the election, there was hacking of Democrat email servers. Votes weren’t hacked. The Russians have not been proven guilty of the hacking yet.<\/p>\n

What is disturbing is that the Democrats’ own behavior and their language is what defeated them at the ballot box, and apparently, the Obama Administration and the New York Times are angry that the voters discovered the truth about them. So, the real crime here is that voters were too well-informed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
