Hillary Clinton's campaign manager is alleging that Russian hackers are leaking Democratic National Committee emails critical of Bernie Sanders in an effort to help Donald Trump win the election in November. It comes on the heels of "changes to the Republican platform to make it more pro-Russian," Robby Mook told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday.
"I don't think it's coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here, and I think that's disturbing," he said.
The DNC has previously had its files hacked by an individual named "Guccifer 2.0" that may have had ties to the Russians.
Hackers stole opposition research on Donald Trump from the DNC's servers in mid-June. Two separate Russian intelligence-linked cyberattack groups were both in the DNC's networks.
Mook pointed to Trump's position on NATO -- that he wouldn't necessarily assist allies who haven't contributed enough financially to the organization -- and argued that position would aid Russia in Eastern Europe, as well.
"I think when you put all this together, it's a disturbing picture, and voters need to reflect on that," Mook said.
Donald Trump Jr., the son of the Republican nominee, bashed Mook's comments later on "State of the Union." "It just goes to show you their exact moral compass. I mean they'll say anything to be able to win this. This is time and time again, lie after lie," Trump Jr. told Tapper. "It's disgusting. It's so phony. I watched him bumble through the interview."

Maybe Russia would rather deal with a sane and strong leader than with someone even they can’t trust.....
Smell the fear!
The Russians are helping America and Americans by exposing this corrupt candidate you embrace.
Yeah and? at this point I admire russia and putin, look at the lying cheating snowflakes we have running the show hear for 8 long years
Van Jones ripped Mook..Tapper didn’t let him off easy.
Dems are in disarray! but media insist it’s RNC.
DT Jr was awesome! Pretty much got Tapper to admit labor stats are BS.
I am waiting for Trump to show up at the first debate with a reset button he begins hitting after every one of Hitlery’s lies. This is going to be yuge.
Notice there is no denial of the fact that DNC and HRC colluded with MSM. This is a diversion. Clinton get all sorts of money from foreign governments, (including Russia), why would she object ?
“I don’t think it’s coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here, and I think that’s disturbing,” he said.
What’s more disturbing is that no one at the DNC knows how to setup a firewall on their network. LOL!!!
Oh well!
Meant Tapper didn’t let Mook off easy.
Perhaps if the Democrats actually cared about internet security, their e-mails wouldn’t get hacked.
They brought this on themselves and are trying to blame the Russians and link the Russians with Trump — like that’s necessarily a bad thing to have good relations with Russia.
Perhaps Putin didn’t give Hitlery enough $$$ for speeches, ya think?
Their argument is incredibly blatantly stoooopid.
“Smell the fear!”
Yup! That old snowball (or more likely a big stinking turd) has crested the hill, has started it’s decent, and is picking up speed (and more $hit)!
The final end of Hillary Clinton, her criminal husband, and the half-breed pariah who has been the illegal president of this country for seven and one half years is in it’s final stages. Just wished that I had taken a position in Oville Reddenbacher Popcorn stock.
The lesson to be learned here is that there is really no such thing as "internet security."
The Washerwoman is blaming Trump because THEIR severs are not secure!?
Chutzpah.

All this does is bring more attention to the leaked emails and their contents.
