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."

Hillary Clinton’s campaign does have sense of humor
I think the most likely scenario is that the hackers have seen the totality of Clinton’s emails, and realize that she is a crook. Hackers like this like to feel they are righting wrongs, and believe releasing the info to the public is the way to do this. I hope they are correct.
This coming from Hillary who sold the Russian’s 20% of the USA in ground uranium supply and made TENS OF MILLIONS of $$$.
At least the Muslims aren’t helping him-__like they are her!
Hillaryous. Tangled up in her own web of deceit. Rotten Criminal paranoid, schizophrenic, sociopath ALERT!
Having owned a small internet based business for about five years I can tell you some real horror stories about the IQ level of the general American public.
Vast right wing conspiracy is vast.
Russians know what communism is.
Indeed they do. First hand... and how difficult it is to get rid of them when they get power.
I still predict she'll never do one single debate against Trump.
How about just running an honest election with no corruption from either party & see how that comes out? Any time there is (as an example)100 registered voters & 130 voting,that party’s ballots should be tossed out.
The social media sites that have ties to Russia and the Russian media have not been particularly warm to Trump. They did report with approval Putin’s comment, how can we not approve of a candidate who says he wants better relations with us? Words to that effect.
“Mook plagiarized this claim from Bill Kristol...”
Also, from Paul Krugman at the NYTimes, who calls Trump “the Siberian candidate” and wants him investigated. I think the Dems have decided this is a fruitful attack approach.
Maybe Clinton should build a (fire)wall and have Russia pay for it
Post 55 - I aagree. Russia could be our greatest ally in the fight against terrorism. It’s clear the globalists don’t really want to stop terrorism, they want to harness this force of destruction they’ve unleashed for their own ends and to keep the peasants fearful and dependent and controlled.
“Russia helping Trump” by reporting truth.
Hillary might try to to do the debates but she’ll be so drugged up on her anti-seizure meds she’ll be more incoherent than normal.
Gadzooks, NF-- Drunk or sober, I've been awaking to that world for 23 years... ever since Bubba & the Hilderbeast got elected!
Shoes are dropping ......one at a time, on the heads of those who are being given NOTICE - YOU’RE FIRED
TRUMP on a mission and he plans to make good on his promise of MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
One thing for certain....we’ve found Putin loves his country to a greater extent than BO’B loves America (OUR COUNTRY,not his)
Barry said he would be “more flexible” to aid Putin, so maybe Barry is bending over backwards to help Putin, by way of Trump acting as a good Soviet Soldier, to beat Barry’s arch rival, Hillary. If you follow that line of thinking, it might be an insight to the deranged thinking of the Hillary’s campaign and Trump Derangement Syndrome. You can’t make this crap up!!! HILLARYous!!!
