Althouse: "I think this an outrage and I think the fact that the KGB is involved in this election is an outrage..."

November 1, 2016

"I think this an outrage and I think the fact that the KGB is involved in this election is an outrage..."

"... our democracy is under assault by the KGB.... And people have to decide do we want our country for ourselves with the people in charge or are we going to elect the the KGB... And as we know the KGB is all over this election...."

Todd said...: And a real reporter (I know, funny that) would have followed up with "You know that the FBI can not release the emails until they have been reviewed for classified information." Which is true. It is a "con" that Hillary is saying release them all because she knows the FBI can't until they have been checked. Huma may could as they are on her Yahoo account maybe...

He is having a serious meltdown! Now maybe he is feeling what the majority of Americans have felt like for the past 8 years!; 11/1/16, 1:31 PM

David Begley said...: I'm loving every minute of it. Why? Because we finally see the Dems for who they really are. For what we always suspected. The truth is in those mails. Just today we learn Mills and Podesta conspired to obstruct justice and destroy the emails.

And let's correct the record. There is no definitive proof that the hackers were Russian. Only two intelligence agencies have publically stated that the hacks were consistent with Russian methods or were probably done by Russia. Hillary stated - as if it were the gospel - that 17 American intelligence agencies said it was definitely Russia. The media, of course, went with it.

It could well be Israel - disguised as Russia - that did these hacks. Bibi knows Hillary is no friend of Israel due to the millions she has taken from Gulf states and the Iran deal. This is all spy stuff. Years later this will be revealed.; 11/1/16, 1:38 PM

Lewis Wetzel said...: The most serious part of the F.B.I.’s investigation has focused on the computer hacks that the Obama administration now formally blames on Russia. That investigation also involves numerous officials from the intelligence agencies. Investigators, the officials said, have become increasingly confident, based on the evidence they have uncovered, that Russia’s direct goal is not to support the election of Mr. Trump, as many Democrats have asserted, but rather to disrupt the integrity of the political system and undermine America’s standing in the world more broadly.

Dan Hossley said...: I am not sure that the NYT's assertion that the Obama administration has formally blamed Russia for the wikileaks hack amounts to much of anything. So far, there are allegations by the Clinton campaign, but no evidence. Everyone knows Clinton is a liar, so her assertions aren't credible. For that matter, everyone knows that Obama is a liar, so assertions from Obama and his White House team aren't credible. Don't get me started on the State Department.

For all we know, the source of the wikileaks hacks was a Booz Allen contractor working at the NSA. Wasn't Snowden a Booz Allen contractor? The FBI just arrested Harold T. Martin, another Booz Allen contractor for theft of secrets.; 11/1/16, 1:53 PM

JPS said...: Terry, 2:34: I remember that one. My own favorite is a KGB joke:

A hotel. A room for four with four strangers. Three of them soon open a bottle of vodka and proceed to get acquainted, then drunk, then noisy, singing, and telling political jokes. The fourth man desperately tries to get some sleep; finally, in frustration he surreptitiously leaves the room, goes downstairs, and asks the lady concierge to bring tea to Room 67 in ten minutes. Then he returns and joins the party.

Five minutes later, he bends to a power outlet: “Comrade Major, some tea to Room 67, please.” In a few minutes, there’s a knock at the door, and in comes the lady concierge with a tea tray. The room falls silent; the party dies a sudden death, and the prankster finally gets to sleep.

The next morning he wakes up alone in the room. Surprised, he runs downstairs and asks the concierge what happened to his companions. “You don’t need to know!” she answers. “B-but… but what about me?” asks the terrified fellow. “Oh, you… well… the Comrade Major liked your tea gag a lot.”; 11/1/16, 2:40 PM

“Gov. Romney, I’m glad you recognize al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida,” Obama said. “You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years. But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policy of the 1950s, and the economic policies of the 1920s.”"; 11/1/16, 2:53 PM

If their mentors, Bill and Hillary, could keep their marriage together in face of strong headwinds, is it too much to ask for Huma and Weiner to resolve their petty quarrel.

"Cause, I haven't heard anyone, not Carville, not the Media, not anyone say that the emails exposed have been falsified or altered. Just that they were exposed by the Russians. Well, what is exposed is the problem."

They are obviously authentic. There is enough information in the Wikileaks e-mails that if they were compared to the actual electronic accounts of the individuals involved, it would not be hard for a forensic specialist to determine they were fake. So, if you are victim of an authentic leak, the question then becomes whether or not you can fake your own account to make it look like the authentic leak was a fake. You could, of course do so with a printed hard copy of your "real" account which fakes the content, but it is likely that such evidence would carry no weight- you would have to fake the electronic version, and that isn't easy to do by all accounts- post-transmission changes to text are very, very difficult to hide. To try this really means you eventually get caught if anyone really cares about the result enough to dig at it.

So, if the Clinton team isn't claiming they are false, you can be pretty damned confident the leaks are authentic down to the last letter.; 11/1/16, 3:42 PM

Yancey Ward said...: And with the latest Wikileak, you have John Podesta, on the evening of March 2nd, 2015, writing to Cheryl Mills telling her that they would have to "dump those e-mails so better to do sooner than later". The New York Times published their story about Clinton's e-mail server the very next morning in the print edition. Given that The Times almost surely asked for a comment before publishing, it is all but certain that Podesta and Mills are writing about the e-mails not sent to the State Department as hard copies from Clinton's private server/s.

Add to the above that later that March the tech at Platte River was in on a teleconference with Clinton's staff, and then immediately began bleaching the archive of the entire account that was still in his possession (all which was technically under the Congressional subpoena issued on March 4th, 2015), and then had another teleconference with Clinton's legal team, I think you have prima facie case of obstruction.

A real investigation of the new Abedin e-mails should be combined with the information that is coming from the Wikileaks. It should involve a grand jury, it should issue subpoenas for all of Mills' and Podesta's e-mail accounts. I know it likely won't, but this what should happen with an ethical law enforcement apparatus.; 11/1/16, 4:17 PM

FWIW a Russian internet provider accused of involvement in the DNC hacks showed the attacks in that case were mounted from Scandinavian countries. But in reality, nowadays anyone with the skills and motivation can attack any system and make it appear to come from nearly anyplace.

Panama Papers Reveal Clinton's Kremlin Connection:John and Tony Podesta aren't fooling anyone.

Almost lost among the many revelations is the fact that Russia's biggest bank uses The Podesta Group as its lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Though hardly a household name, this firm is well known inside the Beltway, not least because its CEO is Tony Podesta, one of the best-connected Democratic machers in the country. He founded the firm in 1998 with his brother John, formerly chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, then counselor to President Barack Obama, Mr. Podesta is the very definition of a Democratic insider. Outsiders engage the Podestas and their well-connected lobbying firm to improve their image and get access to Democratic bigwigs.

Which is exactly what Sberbank, Russia's biggest financial institution, did this spring. As reported at the end of March, the Podesta Group registered with the U.S. Government as a lobbyist for Sberbank, as required by law, naming three Podesta Group staffers: Tony Podesta plus Stephen Rademaker and David Adams, the last two former assistant secretaries of state. It should be noted that Tony Podesta is a big-money bundler for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign while his brother John is the chairman of that campaign, the chief architect of her plans to take the White House this November.

The anchor closes with some chatter about how we need to move forward beyond the election to come together as a country and Carville interjects, "We're not going to come together with the KGB and the House Republicans working together, I'll tell you that." "Fair point," says the anchor.

From the mid 1950s on, what would have happened if a pol said the following? "We're not going to come together with the KGB and the House DEMOCRATS working together, I'll tell you that." Odds are the anchor's response would have been to say that the pol was red-baiting.; 11/1/16, 9:00 PM
Qwinn said...: Would this be an awkward moment to bring up that there's been smoking gun evidence for at least 10 years that Ted Kennedy actually sought out the KGB to enlist their aid in bringing down the current President, Reagan?

Cause if you guys want to bring up treason, I've been hoping to talk about treason for some time now. Funny you guys never seemed to care about it before tho.; 11/1/16, 10:57 PM
