    No, but they've certainly helped. If anyone's curious, here's the original join statement released by the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that made this public and official:

      As much as I appreciate your giving us a link to a government statement about other government statements, can you find any evidence in any of that?

      Because “is consistent with” isn’t evidence.

        Very few people seem to be taking this line of questioning and it's concerning as hell.

        I'm assuming that would all be classified. You either believe the U.S. intelligence community or you don't it's up to you.

          You either believe everything you're told, or you don't.

    If there is a question in the headline, the answer is 'No". It would otherwise be a statement.

        First time I have seen that.

        To the statement " The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and facts to back it up, but still want to run it." I would add, "and want the reader to believe it."

        Sound like some of that "fake news" thing that's pretty popular now.

    I think in terms of actions leading to consequences, the DNC elected Trump much more than the Russians.

      The DNC is trying their best to avoid doing the soul-searching they desperately need.

        They will never admit they were wrong. They're not different from the Republicans in that respect.

        Edit: or in any other BTW.

    Yes we did (Putin Party spokesman) We had Don elected to change US eligitability laws for the presidency as part of our long term goal to have a Russian in the Whitehouse. We are patient, but as you can see we are making progress. Dosvedanya Comrades!
