Clinton Campaign Presses for Intelligence on Russian Hacking
By andrew taylor, associated press

...............Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, whose emails were stolen and posted on the internet, said "never before in the history of our Republic have we seen such an effort to undermine the bedrock of our democracy."
Podesta said the campaign supports an effort by a handful of members of the Electoral College, including a Republican who says he won't vote for President-elect Donald Trump, to be briefed on U.S. intelligence on potential links between Trump's campaign and Russia.
Ten electors on Monday released an "open letter" to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper requesting information about ongoing investigations on ties between Trump and "Russian government interference in the election."
Podesta agrees with Senate Intelligence Democrats who last week called for President Barack Obama to declassify and make public intelligence information on Russia's attempts to interfere in the election.
"The administration owes it to the American people to explain what it knows regarding the extent and manner of Russia's interference and this be done as soon as possible," Podesta said in a statement....................
Minority Leader Pelosi, D-Calif., who receives super-secret intelligence as one of the top leaders of Congress, followed hours later with a call for an investigation by an independent commission.
"The U.S. intelligence community has determined that Russia interfered in U.S. elections," Pelosi said. "There must be no equivocation or ignoring the seriousness of the intelligence community's conclusion about Russia's actions.".......................

I do not think this is dissing Dems --we need all Democratic leaders from Congress out there on cable news and press conferences NOW--not in January. Trump team won by hitting hard and constantly. We need to fight back NOW! Daily.

Last night he said we all knew about Russians back in Oct, made it sound like no surprise.
Said everyone knew so why big deal now. It was weird. He looked very tired, i bet he is counting the days. Said he promised Michelle a long vacation.
