Because you don't know exactly what they did does not mean you bury your head in the sand and allow it to continue. Which it will if you don't take steps to stop it. Some people are tired of hearing this. Mostly Trump supporters because he's their vote and no one likes buyers remorse. The rest of that paragraph is just plain jibberish. You contradict yourself a few times as well and then veer into speculation.
Tell me, did you find the Benghazi bullshit acceptable? Did you find it okay that for years all we heard was "Benghazi Benghazi, Benghazi" with no one even telling us a specific claim about Benghazi? This is the same thing. The exact same thing, its simply coming from a different party. This blanket claim that is okay to make for a week or two, but then you want hear at the very least a specific charge. In neither of these instances, we are seeing specific charges. But but but... Benghazi! But but but.... Russia! Its the same idiocy.
Maybe you should go to any progressive channel or print, Sane Progressive, Jimmy dore, Secular talk, Humanist report, Tim Black, Goodman, etc. They are pretty sick of hearing about it too, again, because no actual claims are being made. All that is happening is a blanket claim is being made with zero specifics, and then its being used to manipulate politics. People are simply asking that you shit or get off the pot, issue a specific claim, a specific charge, or shut up about it until you can do this. Our media does not need spend 18 hours a day with "russia, russia, russia russia russia" without a single specific claim made. Now, im assuming you are old enough to have seen these tactics used over and over and be aware that when they take this route, its then proven 99 out of 100 times its bullshit. Even worse, these vague claims are coming from a person who's mentor was the man basically wrote the book on how to lie to the American people to do whatever they want militarily and what we see is this person practicing paragraph one of this book. Id also like to point out this is one of the reasons many of us dismiss te claims of republicanism or right wing ideas pushing the, what should be very obvious and expected, questioning of this situation. Because again, the person who originally made these claims and has been pushing them, is more right wing than most republican voters.
BTW, please highlight my contradictions.

I can assure you I know more about security than you do dude. And yes we have counter intelligence. They also are part of the intelligence community telling us Russia was involved. Again....you contradict yourself.
Right, but you should probably pay attention to what they are saying when they issues these information releases. How often they say things without offering up any reasons or specifics as to why they would think that. They are all littered with the poor language of assumption and assertion and are being used in partisan politics as a claim made by someone who we can factually show has worked with Russia on a pay to play political basis more than anyone else.

This has nothing to do with Hilary even with your lack of proof to your statements.
Except that there is not a single point where we cant link this directly to her and the DNCs' claims.
This whole thing started because she made the claim that Russia was responsible for the Wikileaks emails. A claim that was disputed by the person who published them, from day one. And the one direct and single claim made in this whole mess, that we have seen challenged and it does not look good for the claim. Of course as we have seen a billion times over again, when this happens the first time after that we tend to see vague and generalized language so one cannot prove or disprove the claim.
@LJS9502_basic said:
And your last paragraph clearly shows you lack any understanding of intelligence gathering. There will always be sensitive information that you cannot release to the world at large if you want to continue to be able to monitor threats. You also don't announce anything in any case until you have finished the intelligence gathering.
Id like to point out that you dont get to have this both ways, either you wait for much of the intelligence to come in, make a claim, and then back that claim up OR you dont keep it in the media or as a political talking point and attempt to affect our laws and foreign policy. Id also like to point out that what you seem to be saying here is that it is acceptable to say these things, to affect the entire world, while not having evidence, while still collecting evidence that verifies or disproves these things. So are we talking about extreme ineptitude or blatant lying?

It should be enough to give you pause that it's known Russia WAS involved in getting Trump elected. And most of his advisors/campaign/administration is being pulled into the investigation. As an American and not a party fan boy that should disgust everyone.
There is a massive difference between accepting that this is a possibility and understanding the potential consequences and situation. And saying that we understand these things, and have heard the generalized claims, but almost a year has gone by and there is this refusal to offer up anything to verify or demonstrate this. And not only do we see this lack of proof, but we then go on to see people bring up other situations and think that its proof of this. How this has been handled by our media, politicians and those who want to tout it is as irresponsible and void of any degree of critical thinking that one could do.
I also find it funny and very telling how people who understand the nature of proof, the scientific method and who apply these things to everything without bias. How we see people like yourself, having a very hard time addressing this as you seem to be far more inclined to address this as a partisan thing instead of as a series of claims with evidence and proof demonstrating these claims. Youd rather make ad hominem claims instead of addressing points made.... its a very creationist response in structure... avoiding points made and/or creating responses to something that was not said.
I dont care if you think i know anything about intelligence agencies, its not a point i made or a point to be mentioned, why are you ignoring responding to the claim of keeping this narrative up while offering nothing of substance? Again, i go back to Benghazi and im sure the double standard youve created. If im wrong on this please tell me, but i highly doubt you went around supporting the extremist right wing on this subject. While again, funny enough, its the exact same thing. The exact same reason you dismissed Benghazi is the same reason thinking progressives dismiss this claim and its not even a full dismissal, its saying put up or shut up. And the times we have seen them "put up" its typically with unrelated information or opinion pieces. Which again, any thinking individual could very easily come to the conclusion that this harms the claims more than helps them.

Country over Party. PERIOD.
Yah, thats a good saying. Now maybe you should practice it. Maybe you should hold these people responsible for their claims instead of addressing people who take issue with them not doing so.
