The Trump transition team rebuffed reports Friday evening of a CIA investigation that determined Russian government operatives worked to tilt the 2016 presidential election in President-elect Trump's favor, saying it's "now time to move on."
"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," Trump's team said in a statement. "The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again.'"
U.S. officials briefed on a secret investigation said individuals with ties to the Russian government were involved in disseminating hacked emails from Democratic officials to the likes of WikiLeaks during the campaign season, according to reports. The motive, they said, was not simply to damage trust in the U.S. electoral system, but was specifically tailored to help Trump defeat his Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.
"It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected," a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators told the Washington Post. "That's the consensus view."

Unless Russia put votes on the machine there isn't anything that can be done. People have a right to ignore or accept information, and to vote accordingly. Like all the misinformation the liberal media puts out..or election tampering also.
Liberal media? Trump and the right were screaming voter fraud and rigged election until he won. Can we please start calling out the bull on both sides?
Trump was right about voter fraud and if your such a big lib, then he was right about it being rigged..but the media put out false and one sided propaganda constantly and none of you cried fowl then..now did you???
Trump will be the first President to be impeached while his party controls both the Senate and House. Unstoppable. The greed is insane. Friends with Putin. Appointing all his Billionaire friends. Corrupt. Not the guy he presented himself on the campaing trail. Sad we voted for him.
