If they were still the Soviet Union the Democrats would be happy that the Russians were interfering TO HELP DEMOCRATS.

soooo the evil Ruskies provided Americans with real emails. Now that’s devious.

Another attempt by Democrats to invalidate election. They must be crushed.

China and Russia would have had a greater likelihood of helping Hillary.

How is our CIA so incompetent that they let this happen? How stupid are you, CIA?

CIA, enjoy your new Russian boss, Donald Trump.

However, nowhere in the longish article does it say that any of the hacked emails were fakes.

They’re still whining about getting bit in the butt by their own emails, while the GOPe got a pass.

This false flag is trying to blame the messenger in order to destroy the message. These propaganda spinners think they have the right tactic. It reveals one thing. These stooges are as stupid as we knew they were.
