The Dems are furiously creating fake Trump emails to use as a counter-leak should Hitlery’s real ones come out. Guess which batch the MSM would cover? The bogus Trump/Putin bromance stories of today are just to set the stage for the theme of the fakes which will be released the Thursday before election day.

This might be one of the reasons Clinton is not only hiding from the press, but hiding from the voters, and the fact she looks rather ill most of the time.

This is the most puzzling and absurd ongoing strategy of all for Hillary. AWOL as far as press briefings and real connection with the voters with real questions from real citizens.

When was the last time a successful presidential candidate, of any party, tried the "you don't need to ask questions of me! ... my record speaks for itself" strategy?" Is she delusional or just blinded by arrogance?

This is the information age. She can't dodge reality and the awesomely large record of theft, ineptitude and arrogance that any informed citizen with a brain can find online in seconds!

So far there is nothing but speculation and baseless accusations from liberals to connect Russia with the release of the DNC emails.

The assertion that Russia is the source is about as valid as Hillary’s assertion that a video on YouTube caused the Benghazi attacks in 2012.

Is the the Russia claim a red herring to draw attention away from discovering the true hacker/leaker?

There are many others with more reason than Putin to disgrace Hillary before the election.

Who knows?

There might even be one or two patriots left in the US Government who are tired of seeing worthless socialists destroy the country.

Keep reminding them that the hackers (Russians - probably others including disaffected insiders) didn’t write the emails ... they were the product of the sick minds and lack of morals or ethics of Progressives!

Additionally, they are taking the same tack as the “climate scientists” did when there emails were hack .... don’t believe your lying eyes, blame the messenger.

I think she is depending on the media to take out Trump, and then she’ll coast to a coronation. I still think she is ill, either that or she’s totally exhausted, and just can’t keep up with the rigors of a real campaign.

dozens of defense and security experts from both parties are urging the Obama administration to take tough action if it concludes that Russia orchestrated a series of cyberattacks on the Democratic Party.

Like what? The US doesn't really do anything tangilble to 'defend' US corporations who are hacked by foreign governments. Why should the Democrat Party be any different. I mean they nominated this b*tch. They should have known what they were getting into. Now, because of their poor decision, they want the weight of the entire US government to come down on a nuclear armed sovereign state? Who wrote this scenario? It's right out of "Doctor Strangelove."

take a chill pill brah, I typed it sarcastically. You just need to get laid, you’ll feel better...

Took two.
In the current atmosphere, even here in FR, it is hard to distinguish serious vs sarcasm.

Seriously. It's almost deliberately so.

Don’t kid yourself. The US is run by the “intelligence community”. First president they installed was GHWB. Every one has been in their pocket since. Trump is fixing to break that string...

action that could encompass anything from public shaming...

"Mr. Putin, I shall severely chastise you."

There is at least on book out of the dozen-and-a-half I have read about the real Hillary, not the hype.
Not one has been challenged in court!

After her brain injury she and hubby rejected the unanimous advice of doctors and chose medication in lieu of the unanimously recommended surgery. The desperation and blind ambition to be the first woman president trumped everything. I see a possible Black Swan as a result.

I’ve heard that Trump does not use email, so that strategy wouldn’t work.

Obonzo has already begun campaigning for Clintoon 2016 on the taxpayers’ dime while Clintoon hides out with a bottle of booze and keeps a low silhouette. What a crock!
