After letting Hillary off it's hard to see the FBI in the same light... Maybe they're stepping in because the New York Times backs Hillary - and hates Trump.

Since when do the Russians need to hack the New York Times? They’ve had front-door access since Walter Duranty covered the Holodomor.

Stalin was suspicious of everyone, including Stalinists like Duranty.

There is nothing the Russians could tell us what we do not know about the scumbag media and even if it were new news then the media here would never report it.

Interestingly, speaking of emails...

Anyone hear Rush changed his email addy this week?

Hmmm, would be a shame if wiki leaked emails of his from GOP-E types or the Cheap Labor Express with his broadcast marching orders.

Why would the Russians hack their communist allies?

No doubt The New York Times has much information that it declines to publish which might be very valuable to the Russians. Moreover, that information might prove valuable to the Russians with which to blackmail the (Democrat) politician that the New York Times is protecting or the New York Times itself.

I support and applaud any action that will destroy the evil New York Times.

Because NOBODY wants the Clintons in power. Seriously - Who in their right mind would want a blatantly criminal enterprise running a competing superpower?

Cynical speculation:

It’s more complicated than that. Russia is no longer communist. It’s Oligarchist/Imperial. Or at least imperial wannabe. Ivan perceives its sphere of influence and interests to include several nations and clients, including Syria and Iran (who happen to have been allied together for a long time.)

On the other hand, you have O & H. They are normally bought and paid for by the house of Saud, as have been others before them. (See the famous ‘bow’ picture.)

They have committed the cardinal sin of politicians, which is: they didn’t stay bought.

Instead, they destabilized the region, including Egypt (former Soviet client), Libya (former Soviet client), and Syria (current Soviet client). Also, thanks to the influence of VJ, they are attempting to cozy up to Iran and replace or at least displace Russia as their benefactor.

Ivan is not happy about this, really about any of these as they are direct or indirect attacks on their sphere of influence. The Syria mess, especially is (perhaps) a direct attack on their energy (natural gas) monopoly to Europe. Hence, Ivan is very upset.

Thus, H, while nominally a communist, and probably still one, is a serious threat as her actions, and O’s have had a significant negative effect on Ivan’s policies and plans. Ivan would rather get them both out of the way and replace them with someone with whom they can practice the ‘art of the deal’.

This doesn’t mean DT is bought and paid for either, but rather that he is perceived as the least harmful option, as he is not overtly hostile.

They probably have hacked the RNC, etc. too, but ... that’s not where the action is.

Or maybe I’ve read too much Tom Clancy. Could be.

Because they're Muslims and fascists.

Comey and friends have so degraded the image of the FBI that whenever anything is reported regarding its activities countless people the world over simply look upon it as a joke.

Just more red baiting and conspiracy nonsense from the establishment media.

They’ve spent 65 years denying there was Soviet infiltration into Hollywood, the State Department, journalism, so-called civil rights organizations, and academia and NOW I am supposed to fear the Russians?

FUNYT

It's always someone else's fault with the Clinton’s. Of course it was NEVER the fault of someone using an unsecured server....

Why would the Russians waste their time hacking these accounts.
