Alleged Ex-Klingon Case Officer: We may need a new vote (Video)
2016-12-11
[Clinton News Network] Ex-CIA operative: We may need a new vote. Former CIA Operative Robert Baer says if the CIA can prove that Russia interfered with the 2016 election then the US should vote again.
Robert Booker "Bob" Baer is an American author and a former CIA case officer who was primarily assigned to the Middle East. He is Time's intelligence columnist and has contributed to Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Wikipedia

Democratic senator: FBI kept mum on Russia hacks to help Trump

[IsraelTimes] Soon to be former Senator Harry Reid
... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority minority leader ...
 accuses agency chief James Comey of withholding information, urges Senate investigation.
Were any of this true, this would be appalling. To summarize: the CIA, which should have known and prevented it neither knew nor prevented, while the FBI knew and both said and did nothing. If electing Hillary Clinton would have given us a third term of this kind of nonsense, it is a very good thing that she threw it away.

#9   Isn't this the same guy who is trying to find Hitler on the History Channel? Comes on right after Ancient Aliens. Very credible.

#8  Has there ever been an investigation of the ORCA hack that enabled Obama to win re-election in 2012?

Or Barry's campaign website disabling security protocols designed to stop foreign donations?

#7  I have a buddy who served as an intelligence officer at Forward Operating Base 1 (FOB 1) at Phu Bai, RVN. He was in charge of pre and post deployment briefings of teams being inserted into hostile areas.

During the prep and isolation phases, the local Agency nug got into a habit of injecting additional and quite lengthy collection taskings to the inserted teams.

Finally my buddy, a no-time-in-grade Captain pulled the guy aside and said (paraphrasing) "hey Vern, we've got a primary mission here. Your stuff is add-on's. If you want to know more, you've got an M-16, get off your arse, ruck-up and tag along." The additional OGA taskings began to drop off.

Thanks to the 'Goldwater Nichols Funding Act of 1986', the primary mission of deployed SOF is now whatever OGA says it is.

#6  I've stated it before: The CIA needs to be broken up and recreated with an eye on preventing the flaws currently there that have produced multiple failures in the past 25 years.

'Break up' the shadow gov't puppet masters? Best of luck with that.

#4  Because "Make America Great Again" is something the Kremlin can really get behind.

#3  If the CIA can prove - in a court of law, to criminal justice standards, that this was done and they have names, dates, witnesses and confessions, then bring it to the SCOTUS and let them decide.

If not, then shaddup.

I knew by lunch on November 9th that the whining and b!tching from the Democrats would be at Biblical levels this year, but as far as I'm concerned this isn't sour grapes any more - this is a intentional, concerted effort at sedition now (I respectfully suggest to my Democratic friends that they take a good hard look at 18 USC Chapter 115) and consider that they are playing a very dangerous game as if they were toddlers on a playground.

#2  Trump WILL be sworn in in about another month. Yrump WILL be the President of the United States. There isn't going to be another Election. The recount will turn up nothing. AND there are at least three Generals ( retired ) in Trump's Cabinet. Bolton will be the Executive Officer at the State Dept. and the Lefties are in for 8 long years of hurt.

Smell the panic? Obama won't have a L:legacy....he did everything by "executive Order" and twenty minutes after Trump sits down in the Oval Office he can write an executive order canceling al Obama NEVER got approved by Congress....PLUS he has his Cabinet appt. to carry on the fight for the next 8 years. And it WILL be a long 8 years for the piggies to squeal.
A LOT of anger to be worked off. And the good news is we WON and payback is due. You like PC? You like Liberals? You like having their you can keep your doctor and your Medical plan? You LIKE being lid to?
You like a failed economy and seeing Obama BOW and apologize and the DEBT? WORK. And remember the Left did this to you. Used you, lied to you , shoved you around.

Remember. No prisoners.

#1  Notice how little we've heard from Islamist Brennan of late? Annuitants and freelancers such as Mr. Baer provide a convenient mouthpiece.

The Islamists (and the left), having fallen on hard times on the battlefield of ideas. They would like nothing more than a U.S. and Russian confrontation.
