We here would be derelict in our responses to the deniers, if we fail to point out there has to be a reason why they continue to do so. We need to ask, who do you believe when it comes to whether or not the Russians interfered with our elections. . All our intel agencies, the republican and democrat parties? Or do you believe the Russians?

Even a non answer is in itself, an answer.

Why Does Trump Ignore Top Officials’ Warnings on Russia?

The phalanx of intelligence chiefs who testified on Capitol Hill delivered a chilling message: Not only did Russia interfere in the 2016 election, it is already meddling in the 2018 election by using a digital strategy to exacerbate the country’s political and social divisions.

No one knows more about the threats to the United States than these six officials, so when they all agree, it would be derelict to ignore their concerns. Yet President Trump continues to refuse to even acknowledge the malevolent Russian role.

It’s particularly striking that four of the men who gave this warning to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday — the C.I.A. director, Mike Pompeo; the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats; the F.B.I. director, Christopher Wray; and the Defense Intelligence Agency director, Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley — were all appointed by Mr. Trump.

They testified that the president has never asked them to take measures to combat Russian interference and protect democratic processes.

Again I would ask of the deniers. Who do you believe, the British or the Russians? Who do you believe, the French or the Russians? I could go on but it would be pointless. Trolls only troll.

Britain blames Russia directly for NotPetya 'ransomware' cyber attack on Ukraine

"Russia is ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy, wrecking livelihoods by targeting critical infrastructure, and weaponising information.

"We must be primed and ready to tackle these stark and intensifying threats," he said, according to the Times.

Russia Election Hacking: Countries Where the Kremlin Has Allegedly Sought to Sway Votes

Ukraine
Ahead of Ukraine’s presidential election in 2014, Russia launched a series of coordinated cyber-attacks, including attempting to fake vote totals, according to Ukrainian officials. The hacked results would have seen ultra-nationalist Dmytro Yarosh, who in reality received less than one percent of the vote, declared the winner.

“This is the first time we’ve seen a cyber-hacktivist organization act in a malicious way on such a grand scale to try to wreck a national election,” Joseph Kiniry, an Internet voting systems cyber-security expert, told The Christian Science Monitor at the time.

United States
Ahead of the U.S. presidential election, thousands of emails were leaked from the account of the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, via WikiLeaks. Both the CIA and the FBI found that the hacks originated from Russia and then-President Barack Obama issued sanctions against the country. Speaking Tuesday, Rogers said it was “very clear” that Russia’s interference demonstrated a desire for Donald Trump to win the election. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has denied that Russia was the source.

Bulgaria
Just days following the U.S. election last November, Bulgaria elected its new president. And, according to Bulgarian officials, Russia used rigged polls and fake news to successfully sway the election toward pro-Moscow candidate Rumen Radev. Russia has also been accused of hacking the country’s Central Election Commission ahead of a referendum and local elections in 2015.

Austria
In the months before its presidential election, a dossier produced by U.S. intelligence agencies identified Austria as one of the countries in which Russia was attempting to interfere in national politics. The election, which had to be re-staged last December, saw Norbert Hofer of the far-right Freedom Party suffer a narrow defeated. Just day safter the election, the Freedom Party signed a cooperation agreement with Russia’s ruling party.

Norway
Around the same time as Russia was interfering in the U.S. election, the same group of hackers hit Norway’s Labour Party, according to the country’s Police Security Service. The alleged attack came at a time of growing tension between the neighboring countries.

Netherlands
Russia attempted to influence March’s Dutch election by spreading fake news, the Dutch intelligence service AIVD claimed in its annual report. In the election, the party of far-right nationalist Geert Wilders was defeated by the party of incumbent Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Shortly before the election, the Dutch government announced it would be counting all votes manually over fears of Russian hacking.

France
Even before the last-minute leaks, Macron’s campaign had complained about Russian attempts to hack its emails. Macron’s rival, Marine Le Pen, who favored better relations with Russia and the removal of sanctions, had long been seen as the favorite of the Kremlin. In addition to meeting with Putin at the Kremlin in March, Le Pen received a loan of 9 million euros ($9.8 million) from a small bank with links to the Kremlin.

Germany
A Russian group has been blamed for seizing large amounts of data during an attack on its parliament, while the country’s intelligence agency has also accused Russian media of spreading “disinformation” and “fake news” ahead of September’s federal election. Just this week, the country’s intelligence agency said it expects further cyber-attacks.

United Kingdom
A snap election set for next month has raised fears that Britain could be the next target of Russian interference. Already, a former Labour minister has said there is “clear evidence” that Russia had sought to influence previous U.K. elections.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian authorities blocked opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s website on Thursday a month before a presidential election, a move Navalny said was designed to blunt his campaign for a boycott of what he says is a sham vote.

Navalny Website Blocked In Russia Over 'Rybkagate' Report

Internet service providers in Russia began blocking access to opposition politician Aleksei Navalny's website on February 15 following an order from the country's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, according to news reports and social-media posts by Navalny and others.

The development came Roskomnadzor told Navalny -- along with YouTube and Instagram --that they must delete or block access to a video and photos in an online report about an alleged meeting between billionaire Oleg Deripaska and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prikhodko, a longtime former senior adviser to President Vladimir Putin.

Trump-Russia probe muddies House hearing on U.S. threat assessment:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans are resisting requests by Democrats for U.S. intelligence chiefs to present their annual global threat report to a congressional panel so they can avert a likely showdown with the head of the FBI over aspects of the Trump-Russia investigation, two Democratic sources said on Wednesday.
