say behind closed doors. Because the fact Trump made it so far is in large part their responsibility.

Certainly, many all over this nation are beginning to show serious concern about Trump's basic fitness to do the job.

6. Comey said there was no evidence that Hillary Clintons server was hacked

… but that wasn’t really evidence that it wasn’t. The Russians could hack her server and cover that fact up. Yet Reince Preibus now claims that because the FBI can’t prove that the RNC was hacked, that proves the RNC could not have been hacked?

Reince, remember this...

July 2016:

Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

When Priebus says that the FBI says that the RNC was not hacked, how much weight does that carry? Are we supposed to even believe that when the FBI is in bed with the Republicans?? And, also, Preibus danced around the question that was being asked...he was being asked about the CIA's report, not the New York Times report. Priebus kept coming back to the NYT!!

Any idea of what percentage of viewers even understand wtf they are concluding? I'm not totally dense, and I follow this story very closely, and I'm confused at the end of all this hot air.

The RNC denies being hacked AT ALL?? Seriously? Unnamed sources.....the CIA??

priebus is a complete pile of melted sheet, but he, like kellyanne scarecrow, are artful at confusing the point and leaving the viewer wondering just wtf they witnessed.

We are in for a long, cold four years of this shit.

They have made obfuscation an art form. I know less about the subject now than before I played the video.
