Alexey Pushkov, a member of the defense and security committee of the Russian Parliament’s upper house, ridiculed the American report as comparable to C.I.A. assertions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction: “Mountain gave birth to a mouse: all accusations against Russia are based on ‘confidence’ and assumptions. US was sure about Hussein possessing WMD in the same way.”
He continued his criticism on Twitter, adding that "the U.S. democratic process was undermined not by Russia, but by the Obama administration and mass media, which supported [Hillary] Clinton over [President-elect Donald] Trump."
He proceeded to slam Obama as responsible for the Republicans' growing trust of Putin, stating that "the danger to democracy is within U.S. itself." .... http://www.zerohedge.com
