Podesta and relatives had secret links to a Russian Bank and to Putin’s posse. This has been proved, but hushed up by the MSM. Also hushed up was the fact that Podesta was the first to make the claim that it was Russia behind the hack or probably more truthfully, the leak.
The democrat-Russia collaborations are pretty much hushed up in the right wing media too, as well as by Republican politicians who should be smashing the phony dems in their heads with these facts. It also seems to be largely ignored here on FR, as few posters ever mention the links. Instead, they waste their time and energy trying to refute the BS Democrat allegations, as opposed to shoving it back down the dems throats.
