John Bolton Implies Obama Administration Could Be Behind False Flag Election Hack

12/12/2016 12:16 am ET

The man reported to be Donald Trump’s pick for the number two job in the State Department says the election hacks could have been a false flag operation.

John Bolton told Fox News on Sunday that the hacks may not have been carried out by Russia, as the intelligence community believes, but implied the Obama administration itself could’ve been secretly responsible.

“It is not at all clear to me just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC computers was not a false flag operation,” Bolton told reporter Eric Shawn.

I, for one, think the current American regime is behind the so-called caravan of asylum seekers. I heard they were being paid by RW extremists and donors. Maybe it was some guy called Adelson. Hey, I don't know. Maybe it's some fat, rich guy in his basement sending out briefcases of cash.

Highly Decorated Marine Vet & Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who was in turn hired by Trump's hand-picked Deputy Attorney General, Republican Rod Rosenstein, indicted like 20 Russians for their direct involvement in the hacking and dissemination of these stolen materials.

Obama is SOOOOOO friggin' clever, sneaky, and HACKTASTIC, that he actually pulled off the whole thing and made it LOOK like Russians did it, with such efficiency that the combined investigatory powers and intelligence apparatus of the US Government ... couldn't detect it, and was misled as to who the perp was.

WHILE ... holding and executing the duties of the Office of President of the USA. Uh-huh. Right.

You know what? You are one STUPID M*****F*****, Walrus-Boy.

My doG I HATE THESE PEOPLE SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH.

Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are questioning whether national security adviser John Bolton’s ties to Russia were properly vetted before he joined the White House this year.

In a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly, Democrats cite recent reports indicating that Bolton worked with a Russian woman who was charged last month for failing to register as an agent of a foreign power in the U.S.

In their telling, Bolton “worked directly with a Russian citizen who has now been charged by federal prosecutors with infiltrating [the NRA] and spying against the United States for years.”

“Given the alarming and unprecedented nature of these revelations — and the high-level position of trust Mr. Bolton now holds — we request that you produce documents relating to whether Mr. Bolton reported his previous work with this alleged Russian spy on his security clearance forms or other White House vetting materials prior to President Trump appointing him to his current position,” Reps. Elijah Cummings of Maryland and Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts wrote.

Protect Putin's meddling in 2016 and ask for more in 2018, that is Bolton's message.
