James Clapper Recalls ‘Staggering’ Proof of Putin Swaying Election to Trump

So the 2016 pre-election polls weren't wrong after all.

James Clapper Recalls ‘Staggering’ Proof of Putin Swaying Election to Trump

https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-...ction-to-trump

Former director of national intelligence James Clapper has spoken out about the “staggering” amount of evidence that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin swayed the 2016 presidential election in his new memoir, Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence. With a scathing assessment of President Trump and his ties to Russia, the book shows Clapper “free to say about the 2016 elections what he did not say when he testified multiple times before Congress as director of national intelligence,” The Daily Beast’s Christopher Dickey writes in The Washington Post. “Of course the Russian efforts affected the outcome. Surprising even themselves, they swung the election to a Trump win. To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense, and credulity to the breaking point,” Clapper writes. Describing a January 2017 report by the intelligence community presented to the soon-to-be-president, Clapper said, “I remember just how staggering the assessment felt the first time I read it through from start to finish, and just how specific our conclusions and evidence were.” “We showed unambiguously that Putin had ordered the campaign to influence the election… and how the entire operation had begun with attempts to undermine US democracy and demean Secretary Clinton, then shifted to promoting Mr. Trump when Russia assessed he was a viable candidate who would serve their strategic goals.”

Vaseline would have made the election results easier for you. From your tone and posts, it appears you preferred sand. Live and learn....

As many of us thought, Clapper confirms.....

"Less than eighty thousand votes in three key states swung the election. I have no doubt that more votes than that were influenced by this massive effort by the Russian."

Clapper is a liar and part of the last administration swamp that broke laws and could go to jail (not for a visit)

You can continue showing us your version of 'proof'

You do realize that Clapper's opinion is diametrically opposed to what Obama had said about our elections being tampered with, right?

But...specifically, just what SPECIFIC things did those pesky Ruskies do to actually influence the outcome of the election. What is the QUANTITATIVE proof that those diabolically clever Ruskies turned "x" amount of votes to Trump? Just how many votes did they turn. I mean...the evidence is just overwhelmingly "staggering" right? The quantitative proof should be easy to come up with.

Don't disappoint us, 'cap. Dig deep for one of your "famous" technicolor graphs.

Ain't that the truth!? But 'cappy has such a selectively poor memory that he can't remember what his new found hero Clapper also claimed at another time about Trump and Russian collusion.

In an interview he said that he didn't lie...he was thinking about something else. I have to try that one.

Whatever makes his butt hurt less.

Influenced how? I can never get a clear answer.

I have no doubt that more more votes than that were illegally cast for Clinton, too.

That is the stupidest think I think I have ever read here.
And I have read some pretty stupid stuff over the years.

Congratulations, hcap - you have hit rock bottom.
Say hello to Danny for me.
