Trump's secret backer? Clinton campaign claims Putin's government has links to email hackers who have turned Hillary's coronation into total chaos

Hillary Clinton's campaign claims Russians hackers attacked Democratic National Committee computers to help elect Donald trump Campaign manager Robby Mook claims the 19,252 leaked emails were released on eve of convention to divide Democrats They wouldn't blame Russian President Vladimir Putin specifically - 'we can't know for certain'

Hillary Clinton's campaign is insisting that hackers linked to the Russian government leaked embarrassing emails from Democratic officials on the eve of the party's convention to influence the presidential election.

Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said today that 'we can't know for certain' that the leak is the work of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

That's what security experts are allegedly, though, she said, and 'we agree that it's important for people to know that this could be why it's happening.'

The Democratic White House contender's campaign is relying on reports in the New York Times and Washington Post as the basis for the claims that the hacker who claimed responsibility for the extraordinary leak - Guccifer2 - is a puppet of the Russian government.

'We’ve been looking at this very closely from both the technical and non-technical spheres,' Richard Barger, the chief information officer for cyber intelligence firm ThreatConnect, told the Post.

Barger said, 'Based on our analysis, we strongly feel Guccifer2 is linked to a Russian information operations campaign and is not the independent Romanian hacker that he claims to be.'

In the leaked emails, members of the Democratic National Committee leadership are caught trash-talking Bernie Sanders and plotting to help Clinton.

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook seemingly placed the blame on Putin's Sunday.

And, not too long ago, wasn’t Hillary touting all the foreign leaders who were hoping she would win the presidency and how afraid they were of a Trump election??? Big Media is shameless! Backing Hillary from both sides of every argument! Our citizenry, or at least around half of it, are sooooooo ignorant that they will believe all the vomitus that Hillary and her Media minions spew. God help us.

Trump should say: “Hey, Crooked Hillary, Obama told me to tell you that
‘the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years,’”

Ted Kennedy tried to bribe Andropov into a partnership to take Reagan down in 1984. I don’t remember anybody from the MSM or the Democratic party being bothered by that.

No, I'm posting an article showing the ridiculous explanations the 'RATS are using to explain away their current debacle.

What is "interesting " is your comment.Read the article again. It mentions Mook making an anti Trump comment.

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook seemingly placed the blame on Putin's Sunday.

Mook said on CNN's 'State of the Union', 'What's disturbing to us is that experts are telling us is Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually helping Donald Trump.'

'I don't think it's coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here — and that's disturbing.'

This is deflection even beyond Benghazi! Putin has to be laughing his ass off (I am).

Now get this, what happened is Putin got this unknown Internet movie producer to make a movie that pissed off all the brilliant Democrat IT staff, and when they were distracted with their backs turned, a bunch of RNC staff snuck into their server-room and took off with all their data.

. So Clinton’s campaign is saying that the Russians are trying to rig the election, by exposing the fact that Hillary and the DNC were trying to rig the election

They know 47 percent of the voting public is stupid enough to believe them too.

So which is better ask most folks

could have been an inside job by a disgruntled DNC IT guy. Then they sell the info and it winds up where it did.

Does anyone else think that it is wildly hilarious, that the liberals, defenders of the woefully misunderstood and persecuted Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, the liberals who trot out drunken old Joe McCarthy every few years in a TV special or film, now find themselves right in the middle of promoting a Red Scare, heaping innuendo on people who cannot possibly prove that they are NOT involved?

These pr^&*s are REALLY letting the world see their true colors this year.

“So.....the Russians were able to hack the DNC’s email server, but didn’t hack Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Riiiiiight!”

You understand, of course, that a liberal will look you right in the face and in absolute seriousness will tell you “Yes, that is true.”

This is an EXCELLENT piece at Snopes (yeah, I know) which lays it all out and shows it’s extremely unlikely the Russians did this.

“This is deflection even beyond Benghazi! Putin has to be laughing his ass off (I am).”

He’s probably watching Fox (very late at night over there), but popcorn is hard to find in Eastern Europe. Generally, Europeans consider corn animal feed.
