That's not scary, that's simply people not believing everything that they're told without evidence. I thought that liberals always told us to question authority. Oh that's right, I guess they meant only every authority that isn't them.

Maybe we should just get rid of the CIA and FBI since you don't believe them. We can just ask Putin for information.
Trump is an international joke. Republicans are now a joke.
Trump's days in office are numbered. It's only going to get much worse.

Meanwhile, 100% of the rest of us KNOW they did.
And the CIA and FBI have been paragons of virtue, utterly without bias, right?
Of course not but you don't exactly admit it on the world stage, right?
I might be different though because I wouldn't throw my country under the bus, I'd defend it.
Meanwhile, 100% of the rest of us KNOW they did.
Anytime 100% know something that has no basis in fact, it is scary.
It’s sometimes hard to see what lies in front of one’s own nose...at least it is until you open your eyes.
My country is the American people, not the FBI and CIA.
They are both American agencies and like it or not are thought of outside the US as being "American". So when you are on the world stage, it does matter.
Correction: that's simply people not believing evidence.

If institutions are working against the will of the American people, then in no sense can I call those agencies American.
Again, it's something you work out at home not abroad so the whole world sees your top intelligence agencies as weak.
And again, maybe you don't care if the whole world thinks we are a joke but I would stand up and step around it, like any politician worth themselves should be able to.
So hypothetically, if the FBI and CIA were trying to oust the duly elected president, how should the president proceed? I'm not asking given the current situation, just strictly in the hypothetical sense. I don't want to debate what the FBI and CIA did or did not do.
I don't care if the whole world things that we're a joke. I'd rather have a government that works in the interest of the American people.
Nobody has seen any evidence yet.
We just have people's opinion of what happened.
Hypothetically, they should shut their mouth and wait to see what evidence they actually have.
The man doth protest too much.
No way. If a president knows, you expect that president to just be quiet and trust the institutions to clean themselves up?
He then can go to Congress with his evidence and we can go from there.
Going on social media and trashing them just makes it looks like they do have something on him.
I agree on this and I think that this is already being done.
But if your intelligence agencies are actively subverting you, wouldn't it make sense to destroy their credibility? Why do you need to wait for a court decision if you already know that it's happening? Sure, you can point to the decision as proof, but in the meantime they're hitting you. What are you supposed to do about that?
It’s kind of about how one interprets “meddle”. I definitely believe that Russia (and other nations) took steps to choose sides in the election. I have no doubt that they engaged in various levels of propaganda dissemination. However, I don’t believe that any of that “meddling” had a material effect on the outcome of the election. After all, a political campaign is little more than dissemination of propaganda whether initiated by a political party, a political interest group or a foreign nation.
As an aside, I marvel at the fact that so many who advocate for the inclusion of “refugees” and illegal aliens on voting rolls also complain about Russia. I sincerely suspect that if Hillary had won we would have seen none of this outrage.
