Clinton has been colluding with Russia for decades. The Uranium One bribery deal is just one example.

Of course the Russians wanted Clinton to win. They had paid good money to buy her obedience.

Do they have evidence of Russian state support for this, or just IP’s that originate in Russia?

All i think about Russia is this...

The democrats were brainstorming. They decided conservatives utterly hate Russia. They remember that from the cold war. So what better way to make us hate Trump than to make us think he’s with Russia?

They are living in the 80s. It doesn’t pass the straight face test, that the democrats have suddenly gotten patriotic and are protecting us from Russia.

“Do they have evidence of Russian state support for this, or just IP’s that originate in Russia?”

Look up the CIA umbrage program out of the vault 7 Wikileaks. They collected hacking tools from around the world. They published detailed instructions on how to make a cyber attack or a hack look like it came from any specific country they wished.
Adding in some Chinese or Cyrillic into the code. Doing the attack during normal business hours of the country in question...etc.

So after knowing that, it’s obvious that the sedition effort against Trump is based on a pure lie.

Big difference between a claim that we possess these hacking tools and actual proof that these hacking tools were used in this case.
Then there’s always the possibility that the Russians can make mock docs and publish them through Wikileaks as “genuine.”
