The Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee are joining with Democrats in calling for an examination of reports that Russia interfered in the presidential election.
Chairman John McCain, incoming Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and others said in a joint statement Sunday that the CIA’s report of Russia’s efforts in the election “should alarm every American.”
The leaders said they will push “to unify our colleagues around the goal of investigating and stopping the grave threats that cyberattacks conducted by foreign governments pose to our national security.” Russia was the only country mentioned in the statement.
President Barack Obama ordered a full review of campaign-season cyberattacks to be completed before he leaves office. President-elect Donald Trump has dismissed the CIA’s assessment that Russia powered his defeat of Democrat Hillary Clinton.

I am still trying to understand what exactly did the Russian do? No one seems to give that info.
Does anyone know what they did?
John McCain is the same guy who in 2014 called for arming Syrian “opposition freedom fighters” that later became known as ISIS. And we should believe him? Besides he has a personal grudge with Trump to settle.

Get on line, because nobody understands it.
All we know is that Hillary said that 17 agaencies proved it, and yesterday, the CIA emoted that there’s evidence BUT not the kind one can prove in a courtroom. About exactly what & how ??
Meanwhile Obama wants a review and some kind of investigation.
Jan 20th isn’t coming fast enough.
#1 They can’t blame Hillary’s loss on her own corruption, and involvement in satanic spirit cooking kidnapped children and the pedophilia ring, so they put the blame on Russia because Putin threatened WWIII if The Devil won.
