Clinton's campaign manager: Russia helping Trump
CNN ^ | Eric Bradner

Posted on 07/24/2016 6:56:33 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

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."

hill and is about to submerge Hillary & Billious in a
deluge of hot $hit.

Yeah, me too, and when I woke up one day and saw Obama in the WH I was sure I was having a really bad case of the DT’s.

Lets play that game, Saudi Arabia is helping Hillary. The guys who funded 911 are Hillary’s allies.

If I loved Russia and Putin more than the USA, I would move there.

Today's Brave Obama/Clinton New World has been coming about via the Democrats, Liberal Republicans and RINOs every since FDR decided he could handle Joe Stalin with help from Democrat Party ilk such as Alger Hiss--

And it has all... gone down hill from there

"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."

Wow! What a great idea. Although, it would look childish to do so at the debates, it could be a great promo video.

It starts with some goofy music on two seconds of black screen and then Hillary and her Russian counter-part pressing the mis-named Reset Button. More stupid silly stuff by Hillary ensues, and then black screen with ominous music. The attack in Benghazi occurs and a voice-over states verified requests by Ambassador Stevens for additional security. Flash to the photos of the dead with NO music. End black screen with the words, "IS THIS WHO YOU WANT FOR YOUR SECURITY?" or such.

Hitlery’s infamous “reset” button actually had the Russian word for “Overcharge” printed on it.

That is the problem right there.

She overcharged the Russians.

Maybe the headline should be:

Hillary Helped Russia Get US Uranium

and

Hillary Helped Russia By Allowing Her Email Server to Be Hacked

I think those are two far bigger stories.

Jake Tapper. I believe he’s in the emails for accepting the questions to ask during on interview.

Ok so it was Donald Trump that got 145 million dollars to sell 20 percent of our Uranium to VlAdimir Putin then sells it to North Korea and Iran,and at the same time Bill was getting 700 thousand dollars from a Moscow Bank for a speech.
Show me where Trump was doing that as Secretary Of State and on top of that putting ultra top secret information on a secret server so are enemies can steal it.
The question I have for Hillary how much did you get for leaving that info out there for our enemies to get it?

It’s MUCH easier to understand when drunk...

EVERYTHING makes more sense when drunk, why, Hell, I can sing Russian battle songs in sixteen different languages when I’m drunk... and I don’t even KNOW the words...

Its like that...

Putin’s likely thinking about the future of the West with this Islamist takeover and what that would mean for Russia.

Here's what we know so far.

Sen Tom Cotton serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee. He said last week that when Trump starts getting his national security briefings this week, we can expect his opinion of Russia and Putin to change.

Cotton is a Trump supporter and a knowledgeable guy re: military and international affairs. He believes that Putin is very anti-American.

I think we can take him at his word.

This is what the Democrats are doing. They can’t deny what has come out in the emails, so they are trying to blame Trump.

I think the most amazing thing about the e-mail leaks story is that...no one denies it!

Hillary gave denials and obfuscation during the entire investigation of her server scandal. Comey said there was enough evidence to bring charges—but that no prosecutor would ever do it!?!

The DNC is outed, red-handed, for tipping the scales in Hillary’s favor during the primary and their response is a blithering: “Hamana-hamana-hamana...!”

I don’t doubt Putin is anti-American, but it’s evident that the West is being infiltrated by Islamic terrorism and the thought Russia will be facing all these countries in that state has to cross his mind.
