This is an extraordinary story. If our intelligence community really<br>
believes this, then playtime is over.<br>
<br>
No more Clapper-style hedging or waffling. If Israel gets to hear why<br>
they think Trump is compromised, how is the American public not also so<br>
entitled?<br>
<br>
But if all they have are unverifiable rumors, they can't do this, not<br>
even to Donald Trump.<br>
<br>
The only solution is an immediate unveiling of all the facts and an<br>
urgent public investigation. A half-assed whispering campaign a week and<br>
a half from a Trump presidency, with BuzzFeed at the center of the<br>
action, isn't going to cut it. We need to know what the likes of Clapper<br>
and Comey know, and we need it all now, before it's too late.<br>

Yes. Taibbi is right. By all means, do investigate.<br>
<br>
He is also right in essentially calling the DNI report a joke.<br>
<br>
Which means that we still don't know whether Misha and Grisha hacked the DNC.<br>
<br>
What we do know however is that two other countries have tried to influence the elections. The UK (if it is true that Steele asked for permission to share the dossier about Trump with the FBI and that Downing Street was informed about this):<br>
