Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said on "Good Morning America" that he was concerned an "aggressive regime" like Russian President Vladimir Putin's could be trying to "infiltrate the system of the Democratic Party" and also "influence the outcome of the election."
Mook was responding to a question this morning regarding the email hack from WikiLeaks that showed that several staff members of the Democratic National Committee were biased against Sen. Bernie Sanders during the campaign primary. Michael Buratowski, a cyber analyst with the firm that investigated the hack, told ABC News on Monday he's "very confident" that Russian actors were behind the cyber attack. According to Buratowski, the hackers were using Russian internet addresses and typing on keyboards configured in Cyrillic.
Mook added that it was "also very troubling" that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to be pushing for a pro-Russian platform. Trump has praised Putin and recently declared that, if he becomes president, the United States would defend fellow NATO countries only if the nations in question were contributing their fair share to the alliance’s budget – a stance that would bode well for Russia.
"Obviously, this is a concerning situation," Mook said.

And it's good stuff.
NO reason for the hacker to reinvent the wheel.
When do they drop it?
The media is really pushing that “Russian bogeyman” meme. And ignoring the facts of the emails themselves.
Yo! Mookie! It was you idiots who rigged the primaries for Queen Clintoon. If it was the Russkis who released your emails, all they did was add a little transparency to your “party”. Get over it Mook. Stop being snowflake paranoid. It wasn’t a Russian plot.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the hacker was NOT Russian and it was that DNC staffer that was murdered, ya know, the guy that supposedly offed himself by shooting himself repeatedly..maybe he knew something was going to happen to him so he unleashed the goods on the Clintons
True - I would think a party who strives for complete transparency would be thanking the Ruskies for helping them to accomplish this lofty goal.
Hillary Revere Clinton
“The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!”
Just enough to show outright collusion by the Clinton campaign with the DNC all along the way.
I would save the Clinton 33,000 deleted emails AND the Foundation emails for later in the process.
And, I'd keep dropping hints and warnings all along the way.
The last month of democrat antics reads like a bad B movie. Computer servers, hackers, meetings on the “tarmac”, cyber security, Russians...feel free to add your own.
This Russian thing is just a distraction. Could they be afraid emails will surface that show PIAPS was in on it?

Is this the same Democratic Party of His Arrogance who funded operatives to try to unseat the Israeli PM that is claiming foul?
More DNC collusion shows she knows material day of her speech would be brutal.
The remaining sanders folks might hoo her.
“influence the outcome of the election”
By revealing the Democrat party for the corrupt organization it is?
Why would Putin do America that kind of favor?
I’d like to know who said supposed “analyst” truly is. Any common IT geek knows you can mask your own identity aka IP address and make it come out on the other end as a source per the hackers own choosing. He could make it Zimbabwe for all it matters.
I’d love to see the trace and log evidence sad “analyst” gathered that pinpointed the hack source as coming from Russia.
Until that is provided, said “analyst” is nothing but a shill shepherding his paying master’s talking points.
More BS.
Real Russian government hackers wouldn’t have left any signs they were there. That’s essentially what Comen said about Hillary’s emails.

Why is it a concern unless there is nasty stuff to be revealed.
“The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!”
Why would the Russians try to hurt the candidacy of someone they’ve already bought and paid for?
