In the aftermath of the fallout from the DNC server hack, the Democrats have been scrambling how to redirect public anger (especially among Bernie Sanders supporters) from the revelations that not only did the Democratic party try everything in its power to sabotage Bernie Sanders presidential bid, but also colluded with various "impartial" media outlets as well as breach fundraising rules in the process.
And, as of this morning, it appears that the solution they have decided upon is not to explain or even justify the scandalous actions, but to simply blame Russia for the hack.

Except... there is a problem with this "disturbing", if very amusing, tangent.
As The Hill reported, it wasn't some mysterious, Kremlin-based hacker/operator that provided the emails to Wikileaks. It was the Romanian hacker Guccifer 2.0 (not to be confused with the original Romanian hacker Guccifer, aka Marcel Lazar, who is currently in US custody and whose email revelations over a year ago unleashed the scandal involving Hillary's email server in the first place), well-known for previously leaked hundreds of internal DNC memos on his own website.
It is the same Guccifer 2.0 who, following allegations that he was working for Russia, conducted the following interview with Motherboard where he said the following:

hillary had an insecure email server. Her claim was that it was not and could not be hacked. Now the DNC is using the excuse that it's those bad, bad Russians who hacked all of those DNC emails. If the Russians could hack that, isn't it logical they could and probably did hack hillary's email?
Another reason is that it's a dumb argument. The Dems can't even keep their emails safe. So how the heck can they anyone or anything safe?
And it serves to remind people that, if the DNC emails were hacked, then what about the top secret and classified material on pantsuit's illegal server?
If "Blame Russie" is their defense, then things must be dire for the dims.
I’ve only got one word of advice for you, son: popcorn
:-)))
As I’ve said before: Best election ever!
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has morphed into the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy!
Oh, the horror of it all . . . :)
Exactly. The DNC server was protected by a firewall. Hillary’s server was totaly unprotected, like a naked orchid according to hacker Guccifer.

To quote the candidate herself, what difference at this point does it make? Who cares who released them, the issue is are they authentic? Appears they are, and she and DNC are in it up to their ears.
Whoever it is... keep em coming
The nation is currently under threat from a vast Left wing conspiracy to influence a presidential election and install a Marxist progressive in the Oval Office.
Morning Joe is slavering over this story this morning! Trump is toast! He’s a commie spy destroying Hillary and the world!!
My husband naively thought that Mika would be addressing the scandal involving herself, Chuck Todd & DWS! Fat chance, my dear.
"Cheer up baby -
sez right here it was the Russians that made Debbie write these emails."
Guccifer has achieved ambient room temperature .
CNN is pushing this meme hard. Tying in Trump’s NATO remarks, which are claimed to benefit Russia, with a Russian release of DNC internal communications that benefit the Trump campaign. Watergate even brought in, a subliminal plant that Trump is behind the breach in the first place.
That is what baffles me. So much concern over who hacked and no one concerned about the dirty info they got. The hacker did not write the emails the dumbocrats did.
Be not baffled. The press would rather talk about their wild speculation, because the speculation can be spun into negative Trump stories.
Well no matter what, the Rats had to admit the emails are true. And that leaves a mark.
The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me @realDonaldTrump 7:31 AM - 25 Jul 2016
Brian Fallon, Hillary for America Press secretary, on CNN, remarking on that tweet already! Says that the consensus among experts is that Russia is behind the leak, and there is plenty of reason to think that Trump and Putin are in some sort of cahoots.
I can’t watch Scarborough for more than 5 seconds lately. He thinks he’s alot smarter than he is. I can’t believe he and Mika are an item. Talk about taking your work home with you.
They are not denying that the emails are authentic. They seem to think that if the Russians did leak them, that somehow exonerates the people involved from the despicable actions that are discussed in the emails.
If the DNC believes the Rooskies have Hillary’s emails, is there anything they don’t have ?
