Clinton Campaign Manager: Russians Leaked DNC Emails To Help Trump
There's a possibility. We know Trump is Putin's president of choice...
Quote:
Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook suggested Sunday that internal DNC emails leaked last week were an effort from the Russians to help Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“What’s disturbing to us is that experts are telling us Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually of helping Donald Trump,” Mook said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I don’t think it’s coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention.”
Hillary is not going to b do anything about Citizens United. Wall Street and foreign government money is her primary vehicle for power.
The law that was overturned did NOTHING to stop corporations from giving money to the parties. The law if left alone would have still allowed the partied to take in millions from Wall Street. That is what the politicians wanted. The wanted all the money coming to them so they could control the message.
As it is now, everyone can participate. Politicians do not like that because it brings up stuff like this election.

In case you haven't noticed, Trump has spent hardly any money (mostly his) and Sanders and Stein are relying strictly on small donations. It is Clinton, and only Clinton, who is raising and relying on big money thanks to Citizens United.
In any case, I was just suggesting the irony of foreign governments meddling in our elections, especially China whose footprints are all over Clinton's campaign.
It's not a surprise that the (D)'s went to the courts to ban access to their donors.
You're probably right but that should tell you that the emails and the reaction (mostly from the right) is nothing but politics. It's a nasty game with high stakes. What did you think it was?
You mean, discussing politics is...... politics? I'm shocked.

Dont kid yourself. The GOP has a big money advantage over democrats. Every single GOP member of Congress is a puppet of special interests and rely on massive donations from lobbyists and the big money donor class. They are mostly elected because of irrelevant stuff like religion, guns, Iran, law and order and other nonsense which the donor class doesnt care about. Trump is totally reliant on these people to get stuff done.
right - because Trump secretly forced all those DNC members to undermine Bernie's campaign, smear his religious affiliation and forced them to be in bed with the media.
talk about grasping for straws.
and BTW, there's a thread about this crap already posted here
The downside is that extremist political groups can be more influential. Such as communists, far right nationalists, etc. Not saying I disagree, but by allowing more parties, it will create different problems.
True enough. So there question is how do we go about addressing rigged elections now that we have substantial evidence that the Democratic Party is fully engaged in rigged elections. Do we pretend that they aren't? Sanders was complaining all along that the DNC was working to defeat him. They denied it with laughter. Now that it has been revealed, it appears that many Democrats are totally fine with rigging and would do it again. This is a problem, I believe.
Do a search on Wikileaks for Politico under the DNC emails. The site for Politico is called Politico Influence and the guy from Politico emailed one of the DNC talking heads and referred to him as the "influence behind the influence".
Several email exchanges about what the narrative should be.
See how we're all being played?
