I'm the main stream media campaign depicting Hillary's loss as the result of Russia's interference.

*looks into mirror*



BUT THERE'S NOTHING THERE?!?!?!

If only there was a well researched set of links showcasing the Illuminati media's war to blame their DEFEAT on RUSSIA we could put this matter behind us and focus on the real issues like "Why is my dick so small?" and "When will that baker boy finally notice me? I've been going to his father's bakery for over a year for my morning bagels but he has not once returned my gaze."

Well, it was a significant factor. Purely responsible? Um, no. But could it have tipped the scales in states like PA? With as much noise as it received, yep. It was even more relevant than the Benghazi hearings because while those were focused on the GOP base the DNC hacks sparked tension and anxiety in the Democratic base. And Trump outright called for Russia to do so. How were the releases not a significant part of the 2016 election?

I do understand the concern about Russia trying to rig the election, really. Its just weird that people keep wanting to blame the election on Russia for placing a stink bomb when the Clinton campaign tied a noose, anchored it firmly to the stair rail, got a stool from the kitchen, climbed up on it, put the noose around its neck and kicked the stool out from underneath while shooing off any rescue attempts on live television.

I kno you're like doubling down on being a retard or w/e but if you like hillary I find it bizarre and pathological but it's like, up to you if abortions and UHC are bad and the death penalty and mass incarceration good but

I think it's factually false that russia did anything to change our election outcome but I will change my mind if you cite evidence or unequivocal claims by someone who would have access to such evidence

and it really hurts america's progress to dwell on a boogy man so that abuela can hide her shame... ?

Really? Where have I said anything like that? Where have I praised Putin or Russia at any point? My position is something like, "Russia has a lovely government but the Western media is fairly biased against them, often misreports stories to make Russia sound worse, and publishes some fairly ridiculous stuff", but I know full well that even though I've clarified that you're still going to insist I'm a Putinite and am just pretending. That's because you're not a socialist, you're a dumbass lib.

What is there to "distrust"? All of the leaks so far have been confirmed as genuine. Not only is your position that you're going to immediately disregard them because you don't like their politics, which is already moronic lib logic, but you're doing it on info that has already been confirmed. This is the reason I don't want to have a serious discussion with you, because your poo poo is loving retarded.

Assange lashes out at pretty much anyone or anything that he thinks threatens his relevancy, since he's convinced it's the only thing keeping the CIA from bundling him off to a black site / unmarked grave in the desert.
