Members of the Clinton campaign along with other Democrats are accusing Russia of having orchestrated the hacking and leak of DNC emails, claiming that Putin wants to get Donald Trump elected President of the United States.

Gee, why stop there? Bernie Sanders himself is an old-school socialist who once honeymooned in the USSR.
He deserves to be named honorary commie conspirator Emeritus, at the very least.


Soon, dear comrades, very soon...

Re: Clinton Campaign Suggests DNC Email Leak Is Vast Russian Conspiracy To Elect Trum

From what I've read, there's probably an element of truth to this. Russia couldn't have done it if the DNC members didn't write those emails in the first place though, so I don't have too much sympathy.

After Trump is elected president, Lee Greenwood will be invited to the inauguration to sing the Russian national anthem

Damn commie Republican right-wingers!

To borrow from former Sec/State Clinton herself, what difference does it make what the source is?

One of the best clips ever.

let's say it's even true. That somehow Russia is involved with the DNC hack. It doesn't distract from the fact that THEY DID IT. They tried to sink Sander's campaign to give the nomination to Hillary. If Russia and Trump are teamed up (like Trump is a team player), the DNC still conspired against Sanders.

Interestingly Hillary isn't even trying to lie her way out of this one.

The Clinton campaign can cry and whine all they want. They got busted and no amount of "blaming the messenger" is going to change the perception of her as being corrupt. In fact, it will only enhance that image.

Re: Clinton Campaign Suggests DNC Email Leak Is Vast Russian Conspiracy To Elect Trum

I agree with the HRC campaign that Russia would be more sympathetic to a Trump prez and they might have a motive here.

I also think it has jack **** to do with the fact that they're the ones who corrupted a democratic process in the first place.

Hilarious. The Clintons are mad that (she thinks -- and maybe she's right) the election is being rigged for Trump after the DNC rigged the election for HER. Gotta love American politics.

Re: Clinton Campaign Suggests DNC Email Leak Is Vast Russian Conspiracy To Elect Trum

This is so typical of Hillary Clinton. "I didn't do nuffim! Everyone just move along."

The DNC wrote those emails. I don't for a second believe that Hillary didn't know precisely what they were doing. Instead of owning this as the head of the party, she has to deflect. Deflect deflect deflect.

In her immortal words, "What difference does it make?"

The DNC is just so busted. Oh, and Trump is still an ass. There's probably truth to this, by the way. Gotta love the Russkies.

Well, she isn't saying the emails are phony, she is just trying to impugn the source of the leak.

And it is likely Russia has those 33,000 emails that Hillary deleted from her server. Watch those start to appear as we get closer to the election.

I think they're trying to lessen the impact of what's actually IN the emails by saying "OMG!!!! Russia hacked us!!!"

Exactly. And why would it matter if Russia is behind this? It's not like they wrote the emails. The DNC did.

Yeah, Hillary Clinton isn't the once-in-a-generation kind of talent that people gravitate towards without a lot of arm twisting. She was the chosen one entirely by her own shady backroom deals, not on merit.

This should be obvious to anyone not running MoveOn.org.

We'll watch. I'm not sure if Putin and Trump are all buddy-buddy or not, but we'll see I suppose.

Though a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote out of this entire mess.

Regardless of the truth, the Russian allegations do feed into the narrative that Trump gutted the GOP anti-Russia facets of the new GOP platform (after they had been consistently anti-Russian for decades!).

Quite honestly from a strategic POV, if I were HRC I'd nail him on this incessantly, alluding to a Putin/Trump alliance and new World Order! :mrgreen:

Yes, but not in the minds of many in the GOP! :lamo

I think HRC may have a line of attack here, striking at the heart of Trump's ethos (make america first/tough guy approach to the world.)

I agree. Perhaps it doesn't matter to Putin who gets elected president here, but if he does have a preference it wouldn't surprise me if he did what he could to get the outcome he preferred.

Re: Clinton Campaign Suggests DNC Email Leak Is Vast Russian Conspiracy To Elect Trum

The "experts" are telling them this, LOL! God, these people will just make up anything, lying under any circumstance. So, he named no one as saying this, and they don't no anything about anything. So, for you low information voters out there, this is something they just made up. They have no evidence at all that that's what happened.

This is a severe problem for the Democrats, it makes them look very bad and untrustworthy (because they are). And they are already proving this to be true by coming out and lying, which is their go to move. Benghazi, Obamacare, the IRS, etc... They will do anything to try and make it go away, so expect more lies from them.

No, but if you take a hit and bring the other guy down with you, there's no net change.

This election is a race to the bottom, with two highly despised candidates ... (sadly)
