There is apparently some proof that some Russian has hacked US "targets."

"Police in the Czech Republic have detained an unidentified Russian man suspected of participating in cyberattacks on the United States, according to a statement published Wednesday on the police website."

Czech police arrest Russian hacker with US FBI help after DNC and John Podesta Hillary Clinton email hacks - CBS News

If this is confirmed, then no reason to think that there haven't been other instances.

Yup, the Russians are trying to manipulate our election. They WANT Trump as President. You have to ask yourself WHY?

That is fine. I am sure Russia is hacking us. We hack them. So what? So far, all we have is a hacked GMAIL. That is amateur.
I am sure whatever Russia has they are holding on to in order to blackmail HRC when she becomes President.
Again, we hack Russia. We hack China. They hack us.

If the Russians have stuff to "blackmail" Hillary with WHY would they be giving wikileaks stuff that HURTS Hillary? You'd think that if they had "blackmail" stuff on her, they would WANT her to win.
Sorry, but your contention makes ZERO sense.

You could be on to something though - maybe they have stuff on TRUMP.

The Russians call it dezinformatsiya, or misinformation where lies are cast about until they become accepted as truth. This is exactly the same tactic that Trump, Breitbart and InfoWars use. It works quite well, a good portion of the population still believe Obama was born in Kenya and now they are being brainwashed into thinking the election is rigged.
Totally agree with that. Also, a good number of the posters on this thread are obviously part of the St. Petersburg propaganda "house". It's not just their constant refrain of Putin talking points ("Hillary will start WW3") but their wobbly command of the English language. As you suggest, they follow all the agit-prop protocols of the Soviet era. It's as if I'm a teenager again listening to Radio Moscow on my shortwave radio.

As usual, your narrative makes no sense.. The Russians have donated to the Clinton Foundation, you must as yourself WHY?

Do you always believe every lie you are told as long as its told by a Democrat? How long is it gonna take for you to stop playing the fool?

I cannot get past "Weapons of Mass Destruction". We have been fed so many lies from our own government that it is hard to tell the truth. Actually Bush Jr's little lie cost thousands of lives; both theirs and ours. He was down in the polls and wanted a distraction: That is where WMD's came in. Now Hillary wants more power and money and she is blaming her faults on anybody in striking distance - Trump or the Russians. She will never accept blame for her mistakes.

I didn't even have to read the posts and I knew all the die-hard Trump followers would be saying it's not Russia. Like they know more than the US Intelligence officials.

In reality, they will parrot whatever Trump (or his campaign) says. It's like this in every thread.

They take Trump's position on everything and attempt to debate why Trump's position is correct, even when it doesn't make any sense. If Trump changes positions or adds more detail, then the immediately pivot to support Trump's new position, even if it's opposite what they argued previously (based on Trump's prior position). Case in point one of the Trumpettes bashing Billy Bush yesterday after Melania said he as egging Trump on.

If Trump gives vague details, they still support his argument but they attempt to add their own spin that somehow supports his argument.

It's crazy to see and it's a real insight into human psychology.
