Back in September, certain members Of Congress learned from the CIA In secret briefings that Russia had Very maliciously found a way Through cyber intrusions, for example, To take advantage of circumstances To sway our presidential election By giving a boost to Donald Trump's chances Of winning, which would have to be An unprecedented stunt By a foreign government To meddle here. Such an affront! Mitch McConnell and others chose Not to believe what they had heard From the CIA, and consequently Decided not to spread the word, Thereby allowing certain factors To affect our election. Imagine instead If the Russians had helped Hillary Clinton. Republicans would have been seeing red! Trump downplays the news, of course. Through all of this, one thing is clear: People hear--unfortunately-- ONLY what they WANT to hear. - by Bob B (12-12-16)
