The absurd hysteria over Russia continues today from yours and my favorite Russia-hysteria promotion site: the Washington\u00a0Post<\/em>.

Fake News For Your Eyes Only<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s joke of the day is an \u201cexclusive\u201d fake-news story from WaPo regarding Obama\u2019s Secret Struggle to Punish Russia for Putin\u2019s Election Assault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early last August, an envelope with extraordinary handling restrictions arrived at the White House. Sent by courier from the CIA, it carried \u201ceyes only\u201d instructions that its contents be shown to just four people: President Barack Obama and three senior aides.<\/p>\n

Inside was an intelligence bombshell, a report drawn from sourcing deep inside the Russian government that detailed Russian President Vladi\u00admir Putin\u2019s direct involvement in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the U.S. presidential race.<\/p>\n

But it went further. The intelligence captured Putin\u2019s specific instructions on the operation\u2019s audacious objectives \u2014 defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and help elect her opponent, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The material was so sensitive that CIA Director John Brennan kept it out of the President\u2019s Daily Brief, concerned that even that restricted report\u2019s distribution was too broad. The CIA package came with instructions that it be returned immediately after it was read. To guard against leaks, subsequent meetings in the Situation Room followed the same protocols as planning sessions for the Osama bin Laden raid.<\/p>\n

Obama told Putin that \u201cwe knew what he was doing and [he] better stop or else,\u201d according to a senior aide who subsequently spoke with Obama. Putin responded by demanding proof and accusing the United States of interfering in Russia\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post is withholding some details of the intelligence at the request of the U.S. government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Detailed Timeline of Allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its \u201cexclusive\u201d fake news article, WaPo provided a detailed timeline of every allegation. It provided zero proof of anything.<\/p>\n

WaPo even mocked Wikileaks for demanding proof.<\/p>\n
