WSJ joined the circus, I see. No one believes that crap except the people who thought it up.

“(It was) a thin reed upon which to base an analytical judgment,” the official added.

Seems that Obama and the dims didn't run fast enough......

Looks like the RNC’s effort to beef-up their Internet security against 0dunga’s weaponized DHS, FBI, IRS, DOJ, CIA, EPA, etc., really paid off!

“We have two parties here, and only two. One is the evil party, and the other is the stupid party. I’m very proud to be a member of the stupid party. Occasionally, the two parties get together to do something that’s both evil and stupid. That’s called bipartisanship” Stanton Evans.

On this occasion it seems the “stupid party” (GOP) wasn’t so stupid after all.

The DNC “hack” revealed the total corruption and the collusion with the MSM. It revealed the truth and the voters made up their minds accordingly.

Had there been a successful hack of the RNC, it may have revealed the depth of the “Stop Trump” efforts and would NOT have been a counter-balancing revelation.

Bottom line” HRC was the worst candidate evah!

This is so freakin stupid.. the Russians try to hack our computers constantly, they are not picky and choosy when to comes to data theft, any and all Americans , business or parties are targets and why tough security precaution is mandatory. Clinton and the DNC , ignoring security protocols were easily hacked by not only the Russians, but most likely handfuls of enemy countries even teenagers in their PJ's. Deflection of the issues of the illegal activity found on these computers, and also the incompetence of thier security is the real news not this BS fake news .

Not so much “hacking” as “phishing”.

“We have detected a problem with your account. Please log onto the account and follow the instructions on the screen.”

And by all odds, that is just what John Podesta did, thereby opening up a rich treasure trove of highly compromising e-mail exchanges. Only too late, after most of the stored content of the account had been extracted (not necessarily by any official or even government-based agency of the Russian Federation), this information was then fed back into Wikileaks, and the damage was done.

Mmmmmm....those embarrassing observations are gonna put a crimp in Obama's get-rich-quick post-presidency plans.

Valerie must be going nuts trying to spin the loser Democrats' abysmal lack of computer savvy into a fund solicitation letter.

ROTFLOL.

Yesterday, Julian Assange told Sean Hannity that WikiLeaks did obtain some material on the Republicans, but that they didn’t release it because it was already available to the public from other sources.

looks like it goes back to Hillary’s closet server that she had built a firewall to protect it ...... out of bricks and mortar.

The Russians try to hack us all the time. As we try to hack them. I don’t believe they hacked the DNC.

Podesta the Molesta fell for the oldest trick in the book.

I can’t tell you how many little old ladies do that kind of crap and then wonder why their computers “don’ work no more”.
