Today at 2:15pm EDT President Obama is holding a year-end press conference.  Immediately following the press conference Obama will head off to Hawaii for his traditional Christmas/New Year family vacation.

Live Stream Added:

With the specifics of this date and timing in mind, it is rumored that President Obama may deliver a message actually promoting the vast Russian election conspiracy.  The intent therein would be to severely undermine the incoming presidency of Donald Trump.  The electoral college votes on Monday, December 19th.

Yup.  Despite his semi-frequent tendency to be an annoying GOPe type, representative Peter King is correct on this one:
The John Brennan CIA claim’s are without evidence or merit and being pushed by the CIA and DNI purely for political purposes.  Hence Clapper and Brennan’s refusal to present themselves before congress for scrutiny:

It’s been more than a few months since we first began discussing the obvious internal conflict between White Hats and Black Hats within the Obama intelligence and national security agencies. Today, we see exactly how bad the fracture has become.
As further evidence of the politicization of the CIA (Central Intelligence), headed by John Brennan; and DNI (Director of National Intelligence) James Clapper, the agencies are refusing to brief congress on their claim the “Russians Hacked the U.S. Election”.

On Monday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes sent a letter to DNI James Clapper requesting the director immediately brief congress (Friday, December 16th).  Both Clapper  and Brennan are now refusing to explain their public claims.
On November 17th Director Clapper told congress there was no basis to identify Russia’s involvement in the DNC and Podesta email leaks release by WikiLeaks in the run up to the election.
However, last week the Washington Post and New York Times claimed officials within the DNI and CIA held proof of Russia hacking the election.

The left-wing globalist moonbats, and the movement they represent, has found a common enemy, Russia.  Their ideological avoidance knows no boundary.

Not content to simply blame Russia for the failure of Hillary Clinton, a British member of parliament is now blaming Russia for the Brexit vote. But wait, it gets better.
According to MP Bradshaw Russia is also to blame for the decision of France’s Socialist President, Francios Hollande, not to seek re-election.  No, really… not kidding.  Watch:

Cameron’s loss, Clinton’s loss, Renzi’s loss, Hollande’s loss… it’s all Russia’s fault.

The concentric circles of Team Clinton sycophants can always be counted on to use every available avenue to avoid the reality of their own irrelevance.  The latest exhibition comes today from Paul Begala, Mike Morell, and the Huffington Post trying to push the Russian Election Conspiracy Narrative.
You may have seen various MSM outlets pushing a storyline about a former CIA Director calling Russian interference into the 2016 election: “the political equivalent of 9-11“, or a similar headline.

The quote comes from an interview given by former “interim” CIA Head Mike Morell, and as you can see above, it was quickly dispatched by noted Clinton political operative Paul Begala.
However, what is intentionally not noted is the actual context of the quote – and, just like the obtuse Washington Post article the statement is built upon, the Morell deniability built into his statement.  Going directly to the original source transcript (emphasis mine, IC = Intelligence Community):

During a CNN interview this morning CNN Director Sean Spicer pushed back against the ridiculously politicized claims that Russia hacked the RNC.  They didn’t.  Fake News:
However, Michael Smerconish was fully engaged in selling the MSM storyline.

President Obama Can See Russia From His House…

Someone, anyone, please tell me the best play for the Obama administration is not to trot out Clapper and Brennan to blame the Russians…. because the entrenched unwillingness to accept defeat is now getting way too funny.
The latest batch of moonbattery stems from the New York Times and Washington Post who are now quoting mysterious and secret sources, within the CIA, who claim the Russians were involved in the 2016 presidential election… or something:

[…]  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,” the paper quoted a senior US official as saying. “That’s the consensus view.” (link)

It was already funny when candidate Hillary “pickles” Clinton was blaming a mysterious planetary conspiracy theory created by earth’s nationalist movement under the auspices of oppositional frog memes:

[…] The “vast right-wing conspiracy” went weirdly global today when Hillary Clinton delivered an actual presidential speech claiming she was being chased around by looming global forces of darkness, aligned in ideological intent to ensure her destruction (link)

But, it’s yet another level of absurdity entirely when the actual U.S. intelligence apparatus assigns the official position office of the president to the same global conspiracy.
These people don’t need to be refuted, they need to be laughed at.  Period.

Earlier today former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was interviewed on Fox and Friends morning broadcast. Ms. Conway discusses the ongoing President-elect transition and nomination process, as well as the ongoing internal interviews.
Additionally, Conway reacts to the current Clinton, media and moonbat narrative to blame “fake news” for their poor election result.

(more…)

The professional left is really trying hard to embed a narrative about the need for divergent political opinion to be labeled as “fake news”.

Cue the creepy jackboot marching music in 3… 2… 1….
This is disturbing on so many levels; not the least of which is the compare and contrast between the speech content yesterday noted above, and the speech Hillary Clinton gave at Andrews Air Force Base three days after the Benghazi attack – when she specifically and intentionally lied to the American people and blamed an internet video for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Chris Smith, Ty Wood and Glenn Doherty.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus, a potential candidate for Secretary of State, was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos earlier today.
An interesting aspect – It appears Stephanopoulos, a severe Clinton loyalist, is attempting to head off the potential for Petraeus by undermining him during this broadcast.
This highlights an aspect we won’t see discussed on MSM. If you understand the Benghazi Brief, you can see how Petraeus might be a risk to Secretary Clinton if he were to become the Secretary of State.  However, Petraeus’s prior refusal to push-back against the Clinton/Panetta covert Egypt, Libya and Syria construct has been the source of my own angst toward Petraeus.
That said, does Petraeus hold a hidden, albeit substantive, chip on his shoulder?… hmmmm… that might be useful.  Odds are, no.  But you never know.

A person has to wonder just how frank the Trump/Petraeus questioning was? (more…)
