Tlllerson Acknowledging Russia Hacking Elections ....

and it will still happen in 2018. - he is giving cover to the Repugs in the States to vote tamper and cheat - and then blame it on the Russians.

We're all expecting this blue wave in Nov but if nothing proactive is being done - watch for the Repugs to retain their power base.

It is in Trump's best interest not to do anything re: election tampering - cause he wants to retain his power base.

When HRC got 3 mil more popular votes he blamed it on immigrants and double voting.

Why isn't anyone in the MSM saying that the States have been given cover to mess with the Nov election - so it can be blamed on the Russians.

Am I the only one that sees this coming?

Could be like you say. Or rethugs could claim russians helped Dems win. Doesn't matter if it isn't in russia's best interest and makes no sense. It hasn't stopped them from already assigning blame to Dems for working with russians to hurt orange man. Poppy-cock! The russians are backing rethugs. The only people that don't see that are rethug voters. But that's because they don't want to see it.

the Repugs could win both ways. I was thinking they cheat to steal the election for the Repugs. I didn't consider them using that if the Dems win - that the Dems won because the Russians helped them.

Tillerson said, “I don't know that I would say we are better prepared, because the Russians will adapt as well."

“The point is, if it's their intention to interfere, they are going to find ways to do that," he told Fox News. "We can take steps, but this is something that, once they decide they are going to do it, it's very difficult to pre-empt it.


I guess the exceptional USA can no longer build a better mousetrap.

His lack of motivation to secure our electoral process is stunning.
