In the wake of a report from the United States intelligence community that says Russia intentionally tried to undermine the American democracy through hacking the 2016 presidential election, a top Russian politician is firing back, arguing that the only person to undermine the American democracy in recent years is President Barack Obama.
In a series of tweets late Friday, Russian Senator Alexey Pushkov criticized the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion about Russian hacking into the 2016 election, while offering criticism of Obama.
“The U.S. democratic process was undermined not by Russia, but by the Obama administration and mass media, which supported Clinton over Trump,” Pushkov tweeted, according to a translation from Russian to English by The Hill.
“The danger to democracy is within U.S. itself,” he added, accusing Obama of being responsible for Republicans’ growing trust of Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The U.S. intelligence community released a report on Friday detailing their conclusion that Russia did, indeed, interfere in the election after developing a “clear preference” to help President-elect Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
And while Democrats have clung to the report as the sole reason why Clinton lost, Trump has continually dismissed it, saying definitively after his meeting with intelligence officials on Friday that there is “no evidence” to prove that the election results were successfully manipulated by the Russians.

Here's a prime example of the internal threat Alexey Pushkov was speaking about when he said....
“The danger to democracy is within U.S. itself.”
“I really say to you, my friends in the press, with all due respect for the guardians of the First Amendment that you are, that you were accomplices in this.
“It was every single day you reported that there was an email that was embarrassing to the Clinton administration [sic] without saying, ‘We know this because of disruption by a foreign power into our electoral system.’
“You knew that. You knew it was the Russians."

ZitatAnd while Democrats have clung to the report as the sole reason why Clinton lost
Balderdash. The Dems have put forth a number of reasons, but this one has gotten legs due to constant repetition, the collusion of the Obama "intelligence community", and the MSM's stifling of any evidence to the contrary. In fact, a rather model picture of any Liberal propaganda campaign.
