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.

If the Democrats keep trying to shift blame to Putin he may respond by saying “My country has been accused of influencing the US elections with the pathetic bits of information that WikiLeaks was able to acquire. Russia is a great nation concerned with protecting itself from an imperialist agenda and has acquired much more on Hillary’s and the Democrat Party’s clandestine activities. Here is everything we have. Enjoy.”
Mook keeps trying to deflect. What he ought to be worried about is what’s inside the emails
“..The media is really pushing that “Russian bogeyman” meme. And ignoring the facts of the emails themselves....”
Of course, they have to throw out a red herring to take the attention off of the criminal witch that wrote the emails as if it is not the real issue. Hitlery is the trash, not the Ruskies.
Clinton having a Campaign Manager named “Mook”? Boy, talk about an aptly named person!
The DNC is the gift that keeps on giving!
The Russians infiltrated the Democrat Party decades ago!
I read or heard their so called experts was some discredited ex government hack. He’s so that when Mook was asked to name him on TV he wouldn’t.
Probably the same idiot that verified the security on Hillary’s hidden server.
Because it turns Hillary into a victim
Exactly.
This is real life MR. ROBOT.
Even non political people are tuning in.
Mook is worried that the Russians are ‘Trying to influence the outcome of the election’?? But he was all right with Comey deciding not to interfere or ‘influence’ the upcoming election by not indicting an obviously guilty candidate, wasn’t he?? Oh, the hypocrisy!
Russian hackers...YouTube videos...Vast Righwing Conspiracy...
Delay. Distract. Deceive. It’s the Clinton way.
The rats are trying real hard to make this about Russia instead of what’s in the emails.
It is now scorched earth, God bless Julian Assange and Snowden. NATIONAL HEROES! Exposed the under belly of corruption. Name schools after them governed by local communities!! RELEASE THEM NOW!!Total amnesty for them both!!Ticker tape parade!!
Excellent and apt quotation. Somebody knows what is in the emails to come.
Question: Obviously the Russians did it
is an attempted smokescreen for the DNC leak, but what if the DNC leak is itself a smokescreen? What if they're trying to take attention away from something bigger, say, the Clinton Foundation?
In other news, the robbery in Ferguson resulting in 5 civilians dead and several million dollars missing, has resulted in a massive investigation by the FBI and the justice department and state police.
500 FBI agents have been tasked with locating the unknown person who called police and ratted out the names and addresses of the BLM freedom fighters, who have yet to be located. The FBI and the justice department take racist prosecution and violation of the rights of protected groups seriously.
Meanwhile, the bodies of the bank customer victims have not been recovered from the crime scene. < /sarc >
A couple of years ago you'd get a good portion of people jumping your shit for considering Snowden a hero, but man it's astounding how much of that sentiment is gone, or reversed.
I love the chant, “Lock Her Up.” Pray, pray, and pray some more.
The four Heroes left to die in Benghazi deserve no less than Hillary getting all that she’s earned for a life of corruption and treason, ya think?
So let me get this straight. The Director of the FBI says hackers working for the Russian government are so good that the FBI, with all its resources, would not expect to find direct evidence of their hacking of Hillary’s server, but some nobody working for Hillary or the DNC can determine within a couple of days that Russian state actors were responsible for the hack of the DNC emails. This concept does not pass the plausibility test.
Is it not then very likely these same russians hacked her unsecured state department server and have everything she deleted ? Are they so stupid as to not get that by promoting the “russian hack” to distract from the DNC corruption they are pointing directly to a far more serious exposure ?
Lock Her Up!
