The sheer immorality and illegality of the activities of Clinton and Podesta as well as the corruption of the DNC were revealed by the release of these documents. What matters most, the messenger who discovered and disseminated this trove of crime or the crime itself? We ought appreciate the messenger even if it is Russia, while we must certainly condemn the activities the material revealed.
Bingo, the only “Russian hackers” were the guys rushin’ around in the DNC trying to fabricate this entire weak and laughable story. The sequence of events appears very fishy to me, almost an acknowledgement of guilt for some part of the general allegations against Podesta and the Clintons, and a last minute desperate effort to “explain” the scandal as Russian hacking.
I hope that the new administration pushes back against this dismal deception and shine a light on the real truth which is not going to be pretty. This could end the Democratic Party as a legitimate institution.
From what I have been reading, the WikiLeaks came from an insider in the State Department.
At worse, the Russians were just whistle blowers letting the world know how corrupt the US Oligarchs had become. By doing so, they have strengthened our Representative Republic and made the world a safer place.
