Dear @ODNIgov Ratcliffe: Actually, @DHSgov officials say that Iran sent spoofed emails to intimidate voters to vote FOR Donald Trump. Are you being fully honest with the American people?

1. If it's proven that he lied about natl security matters in this way is that a crime?

[Nevilledog]

6. In this administration it's just Wednesday.

[Bettie]

13. Yes, if he wasn't a Republican

but apparently, crimes are not something they need to worry about.

[underpants]

2. I was thinking the same thing.

Iran? Out of the blue?

[demosincebirth]

3. I caught that right off the bat

[BusyBeingBest]

4. I too am calling bullshit. Sounds like a way to pre-dilute the Russian

interference reports that are probably going to surface soon.

[bdamomma]

5. Ratcliffe

I don't trust him at all.

Oh I see distracting the story off Obama.

This FBI thing was BS.

7. Ratlips will be looking for another job comes January. nt

20. I'm puzzled. Any idea why Iran would try to intimidate Dems

into voting for Trump?

Don't they hate his foreign policy toward them, not to mention his ordering the assassination of a top military hero of theirs?

[Nevilledog]

21. You're assuming the iran info is accurate.

[summer_in_TX]

22. Good point.

Makes perfect sense if it was Russia.

[VarryOn]

9. I agree with you, Hopefully-soon-to-be-Senator Lieu! Nt

[CentralMass]

10. Ratfucker.

11. The projection reveals, once again, the source of the desperation

Standard Trumpism propaganda technique

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Wray was there to back him up, and seemed particularly scripted and not happy at all

I don't know if I'd call it faked seriousness, or ordered contrivance.

[ffr]

14. Fucking pieces of shit republican liars!

Take a story and turn it on its head.

This is getting nuts. We have to, just have to, remove them this election!

[paleotn]

15. Liars. And not even marginally good liars...

That's about the dumbest thing I've heard a while, and I've heard some pretty dumb shit lately. Telling registered Democrats to vote for Donnie, because if they don't they will be hurt in some way, is supposed to damage Donnie's campaign? I've rolled that around in my head for a while now and I still can't see how that works. If it was Iranian intel (doubtful) wouldn't it have been far more effective to just print up some nice, glossy campaign lit saying what a wonderful guy Biden is and send them to registered REPUBLICANS?! Or at least threaten THEM in some way. I don't get it.

[dalton99a]

16. Bullshit orchestrated by the Liar-in-Chief

[cilla4progress]

17. Exactly.

Figliuzzi explained this very ardently on Maddow, too!

[Farmergene]

18. I call BULLSHIT also.

Just another example of gaslighting. Information warfare AGAINST the American people, voters in particular.

I read somewhere (Apologies, citations not provided, because I can't remember where) that Russia was trying to reelect that clown, and that Iran and China were trying to help elect Biden. This sounds plausible because he screwed Iran over really bad, and the world is not any safer for it. I don't think China cares much for #45 either. So to say Iran is trying to get that clown another term seems ummm backwards.

[calimary]

27. So do I.

[czarjak]

19. Political Apprenticeship has consequences?

[occupant]

23. Did I sell it boss...

What a load of horeseshit! OMG so it IS getting worse every day ! 13 days left until the election and its gonna get worse? This shitstory reeks of Miller, prolly in his tetosterone induced state. These guys are outta their fucking minds! Most semi smart people see this for what it is, confuse and deflect.Chaos and Mayhem.This just makes Trump look stupider and stupider. He prolly had a shit fit over Obama, busted up a few TVs and called his ass lickers over to DO SOMETHING !!! Oh please Lord get rid of this POS ASAP!

[not_the_one]

24. Priming the pump for possible military action against Iran, as the last, ultimate distraction?

You KNOW he won't lift a finger against Pootie Poot.

I don't think the military will back him up, if he does give the order...

[Aussie105]

25. Some clarification needed.

Assuming that the info is correct, that Iran/Russia hijacked voter information, were the threatening emails sent to all, or just those enrolled with the Democratic party?

ie is it a targeted 'change your vote to Trump or else' threat, or is it a general attempt to muddy the validity and accuracy of the vote?

It makes a difference!

[Nevilledog]

26. Targeted to Dems.
