Senators Accuse Russia Of Disrupting US Election (washingtonpost.com)
An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes The Washington Post:
Two senior Democratic lawmakers with access to classified intelligence on Thursday accused Russia of "making a serious and concerted effort to influence the U.S. election," a charge that appeared aimed at putting pressure on the Obama administration to confront Moscow... "At the least, this effort is intended to sow doubt about the security of our election and may well be intended to influence the outcomes," the statement said. "We believe that orders for the Russian intelligence agencies to conduct such actions could come only from very senior levels of the Russian government..."
White House officials have repeatedly insisted that they are awaiting the outcome of a formal FBI investigation, even though U.S. intelligence are said to have concluded with "high confidence" that Russia was responsible for the DNC breach and other attacks. The White House hesitation has become a source of frustration to critics, including senior members of Congress.
Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence officials are reportedly investigating whether Donald Trump's foreign policy adviser "opened up private communications with senior Russian officials -- including talks about the possible lifting of economic sanctions if the Republican nominee becomes president."

Given Trump's cooperation with the Putin state, why does anyone think this is anything but a political "Buy"
Hey, if corporations are people, why not Russians?
What evidence of wrong doing?
Republicans have spent $500 million tax payer dollars investigating Hillary. If you think they had any actual eveidnece that could pass even a court of public opinion they would use it.
Hillary is a power hungry bitch, I use to think she was smart but I can't even think that anymore. But how stupid do you have to be to think that she can hide legal wrong doing with that kind of money against her?
Hillary is the single most vetted candidate ever troublicans have been examining everything she has and does. Other than being a bitch and unlikeable that haven't found any laws she broke.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
Defeat ISIS? Last time the US troops came into action in Syria they helped ISIS. The Russians are actively fighting against it with the intent to win, which seem to displease the US who seems only fighting ISIS to keep up appearances.
