OMG! It's just plain loony to refuse to accept the fact that Russia hacked into our election .
For fuks sake,  Reality Winner illegally leaked a classified NSA document with specific details on this .

Of course congressman Louie Gomer-Pyle says ; " Shazzam, it's the dems" and
you folks buy it.

It's a confirmed FACT that Russia hacked and tried to influence our election.
It's NOT yet confirmed of Trump himself had any direct connection with Russian collusion.

You're like someone trying to debate going for it on 5th down in football . :D

I've tried to be reasonable and debate with you coach.
BUT, this refusal to accept basic facts requires me to give up and wish you well.

How specifically did Russia "hack our election"? 

C'mon now, it's well established by now.
Even that leaked NSA document by that twit Reality Winner went into 1 aspect of Russia hacking
into our election.

What's NOT established is Trump playing any role in it.

If it's "well established" you should be able to explain it pretty easily.  Precisely how did Russia "hack into our election"?

It's also well stablished that Shizzo was a willing knob gobbler.

Russia hacked into our elections and there is a boatload if evidence on that.
What amazes me is that so many Trump backers believe Russia/ Putin propaganda over
our own US intelligence services. How patriotic is THAT? NOT!

I assume you saw the released NSA document from that twit Reality Winner .
THat was an official NSA document detailing how Russia hacked into voter registration roles!

How specifically did Russia "hack our election"?  

two basic ways to hack and election that have been widely reported

1. plant false news stories and release damaging emails in an attempt to influence voters against one candidate
2. actually try to interfere with the voting process

It's wells documented that Russia did the first and tried to do the 2nd

Here's as "playbook" of their various methods (which I'm sure you won't read since you don't believe it actually happened and then you can continue to say you've seen no information about how this could have happened)
https://www.wired.com/story/russia-election-hacking-playbook/

Russia did the same in France (email dump in the day before the election) and apparently did a fake news "attack" in Qatar"

http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/336638-us-suspects-russia-planted-fake-news-in-qatar-report

Lets get real for once.  If Russia was suspected of assisting President Hillary get elected you and other Republican would be losing your freaking minds over potential Russian involvement and insisting on never ending investigations

But since it's your guy they helped (and I'm not saying Trump was involved) we're supposed to think it's just a big, ridiculous joke

Former FBI director Comey testified under oath that
Russia hacked into our election.

If that's too partisen for you, here's some of the nuts and bolts of how it was done.
* Please note the Dec 2016 date , which means this has been out for a LONG time.
I shouldn't need to repeat/repost it on a political forum of informed people.

Yep.  I'd be very interested to know of all the activity in that regard, certainly over the past four or five elections.  Let's compare.

Straw, I'll read those later tonight.

Can you give me the heart of the "tried to interfere" part

The "fake news" part, for sure, is something I'd need to see is unique in this election.

The email part is sort of like, "damnit, how dare they show truth when we've got an election to hold."  As though, minus the email, things would've been much more fair.. lol!  I don't think so.

^ In this list of articles (CNN) from past 11 months or so, perhaps the heaviest claim is that Putin "ordered" a "campaign" to try to disrupt our process, and furthermore that he favored Trump while doing so.

But it's admitted that it's part of "longtime Russian efforts to undermine "the US-led liberal democratic order."

So it only makes sense to say it was Putin who gave orders, then, too.  Who did he favor in those cases?

Why now, is the question above all else.  What's changed, to make something admittedly routine, suddenly report-worthy.  Seeing as how cyber-info has become almost ancient history at this point: WHY the rush by media to place this story so far in front, when they'd been sleeping through "longtime Russian efforts to undermine "the US-led liberal democratic order."  That's what I want to know.

Could it be they'd been saving-up for someone?

Someone they didn't like, perhaps?
