It’s a clear attempt to delegitimize Trump’s election. It aims undermine him before taking office, along with provocatively pushing for confrontation between the world’s dominant nuclear powers - utter madness, but that’s the mindset of neocon lunatics infesting Washington, forces Trump will have to deal with after taking office. It’s up for grabs whether he’s strong-willed enough to go his own way or intends serving America’s deep state exclusively, wanting uninterrupted continuity - dirty business as usual across the board, especially geopolitically. It takes a giant leap of faith to think he’ll diverge positively from longstanding deplorable practices. Yet he hasn’t begun to serve so it’s unclear precisely what he’ll do. Bipartisan congressional headwinds alone will challenge whatever monied interests oppose. Presidents are front men for wealth, power and privilege. Their choice is going along to get along or running into storm of trouble - enough to sabotage their agenda unless willing to support consensus. Disputing the fake news Russian hacking allegation, Trump responded with multiple tweets, saying: “Julian Assange says Russia wasn’t his source & Pres Obama is trying to ‘delegitimize’ Trump with Russia hack claims (@sean hannity exclusive).” “Julian Assange said ‘a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta’ - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!” “@FoxNews: Julian Assange on U.S. media coverage: ‘It’s very dishonest.’ #Hannity pic.twitter.com/ADcPRQifH9' More dishonest than anyone knows “Somebody hacked the DNC but why did they not have "hacking defense" like the RNC has and why have they not responded to the terrible……” “things they did and said (like giving the questions to the debate to H). A total double standard! Media, as usual, gave them a pass.” “The ‘Intelligence’ briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange! America’s tweeter-in-chief has 18.7 million followers - able to reach them directly, circumventing media scoundrels overwhelmingly against him - giving bully pulpit influence new meaning. In his waning days in office, Obama seems determined to try undermining Trump before he’s sworn in and begin serving - instead of graciously smoothing the transition process the way previous administrations operated. Pat Buchanan said he’s acting with “bitterness” and “despair,” exiting with a “let’s wreck the place” attitude, an outrageous end to a disgraceful tenure, more evidence of his diabolical nature. On Wednesday, he awarded himself the Medal of Distinguished Public Service, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter pinning the medal on him ceremonially. One tweeter asked if it has an ISIS emblem on it? Another said he can wear it like other brutal despots display self-awarded medals. He long ago should have been arrested, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for high crimes of war and against humanity. America honors its worst, denigrates its best, the way all rogue states operate. The Russian hacking story gets increasingly shakier. According to Buzzfeed News, the FBI never requested access to allegedly hacked DNC servers. Months after claiming they were compromised, they’ve yet to examine them for alleged hacking evidence, according to DNC spokesman Eric Walker, saying: “The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI’s Cyber Division and its Washington (DC) Field Office, the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, and US Attorney’s Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation, but the FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers.” Instead the agency relied on tech security company CrowdStrike. It claimed Russian hacking without providing evidence proving it. Its standard practice for the FBI to do its own cybersecurity investigative work. Why not this time? Clearly it’s because emails were leaked by one or more Democrat party insiders, not hacked by Russia or anyone else. Accusations otherwise were fabricated. Months after initially made, no credible evidence was presented. None exists. Whatever comes out ahead, if anything, will be fake news like everything else about this concocted issue - a shameful end to a disgraced administration. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.
