Russia "hacked" the election by releasing embarrassing public information that was also entirely true and correct. Clinton and the DNC never even tried to deny the actual content of the leaks because they were all 100% true.

In other words, Russia did Americans a solid by doing what the media refused to do, which is to report truthfully on Clinton and the DNC

you're right the media did refuse to do what russia did -- because hacking emails is a crime

here's some fun facts about John Podesta, the dude who fell for the phishing scam

quote:

Podesta served as both an Assistant to the President and as Deputy Chief of Staff. Earlier, from January 1993 to 1995, he was Assistant to the President, Staff Secretary and a senior policy adviser on government information, privacy, telecommunications security and regulatory policy. In 1998 he became President Clinton's Chief of Staff in the second Clinton Administration and executed the position until the end of Clinton's time in office in January 2001. Podesta encouraged Executive Order 12958 which led to efforts to declassify millions of pages from the U.S. diplomatic and national security history.

Any US citizen can get that information with a freedom of information act request. It's her bad she used a public account for private poo poo and it shouldn't be the role of the NSA to protect her fuckup. If her emails contain sensitive poo poo too bad. :shrug:

It was common malware found only on the laptop. It's more likely some dumbass used it to browse a sketchy porn site than it is Russian Hackers infected it. We are at a level of hysteria where a simple virus scan is enough to start ppl screaming :derp: OMG IT'S THE RUSSIANS AGAIN!!!! :derp:

That's not to say that Russians don't poke around in our sensitive strategic areas because they certainly do. Just like we do to them. And every country does to every other country in the world.

But a us citizen can just do an foi and give a copy to the Russians, which isn't going to benefit them or their politics really. I mean they aren't on some whole "America bad Russia good" campaign right now. :shrug:

I mean in all likelihood the whole thing stinks to high hell of Hillary using a government server to evade law enforcement and keep it to her inner circle of people with the intelligence clearance to monitor those emails. The "hacked" Russian version is probably just the cias blacklined release of the material.
