That's up there, but a POTUS saying the US election is crooked to the tune of millions of votes is devastating.

Maybe Trump will make Christie Ambassador to Russia. Someone has to blow Putin for Trump.

I recall Obama's comment to the congressional leaders from the GOP who came to the WH to try to discuss working together after he was elected: "I won."

Translation: screw you. And that is exactly how he governed for eight years.

You libs don't seem to enjoy the shoe being on the other foot.

No more so than calling for -- or supporting -- a god damned recount because of "Russian hackers."

I never said I supported the recount.

However, all seventeen US intelligence agencies and the Senate and House Intelligence Committees agree the hacking was done by the Russians.

Here's one of hundreds of such lnik: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/politics/spy-agency-consensus-grows-that-russia-hacked-dnc.html

"WASHINGTON — American intelligence agencies have told the White House they now have “high confidence” that the Russian government was behind the theft of emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee, according to federal officials who have been briefed on the evidence.

But intelligence officials have cautioned that they are uncertain whether the electronic break-in at the committee’s computer systems was intended as fairly routine cyberespionage — of the kind the United States also conducts around the world — or as part of an effort to manipulate the 2016 presidential election.

The emails were released by WikiLeaks, whose founder, Julian Assange, has made it clear that he hoped to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the presidency. It is unclear how the documents made their way to the group. But a large sampling was published before the WikiLeaks release by several news organizations and someone who called himself “Guccifer 2.0,” who investigators now believe was an agent of the G.R.U., Russia’s military intelligence service."

Hillary Clinton in last night’s presidential debate tried to avoid talking about the substance of the damaging WikiLeaks disclosures of DNC and Clinton campaign officials by claiming 17 U.S. intelligence agencies determined that Russia was responsible for this. After Clinton made this claim, she scolded Trump for challenging U.S. intelligence professionals who have taken an oath to help defend this country.

What Clinton said was false and misleading. First of all, only two intelligence entities – the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – have weighed in on this issue, not 17 intelligence agencies. And what they said was ambiguous about Russian involvement.

Donald Trump's incoming chief of staff suggests Hillary Clinton is backing away from a deal worked out between the two presidential campaigns on how the loser would concede to the winner.

Reince Priebus tells "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton's team "cut a deal" with Trump's team specifying that once The Associated Press called the race in favor of one candidate, the other would call within 15 minutes to concede.

Priebus says that's just what happened election night.

But now he's questioning whether Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias is backing down from that deal by announcing Clinton will participate in a recount in Wisconsin and may do the same in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Let's say they are just hackers, then. Isn't that still a big deal? No matter the nationality?
 
Clinton double crossing Trump and backing out of a deal they had to respect the results?

From the AP:
There's no evidence voter results were hacked or electronic voting machines were compromised.

While Hillary Clinton's campaign formally joined Stein's Wisconsin recount effort, a lawyer for the Democratic campaign has said there is "no actionable evidence" of an altered outcome.
