I think there should be an investigation. I don't care who won/didn't win. It's seriously disturbing to me that the Russians are hacking their way into things and could possible influence outcomes, no matter what side. Everyone should be very concerned, even those who this might have helped. There are future elections coming, you know.

It's nothing but FUD to attempt to discredit Trump's landslide victory.

I would be surprised to find anything like a direct connection between the Russian government and the hacks; but the way I see it, it is a serious problem if the allegation was true, and perhaps an even more serious problem if it wasn't. Either way, there should be some effort to get to the bottom of it.

Oh Yeah ........ it could make a difference -- BUT, first they have to "investigate" so they can be identified.

Obama is just mad because the Democrat Party got hacked and their e-mails became public.

Is this like Obama's investigation of the IRS for targeting conservative PACs seeking IRS approval?

But as for Russians hacking 1000s upon 1000s of local BOEs, that is just nonsense, from a lame duck President, who has no accomplishments.


i.e. Obama seeks to spread FUD about the results.

...or not:

Regardless of how these emails got hacked and publicized, you cannot un-ring that bell. Reading those emails shows how Bernie, one of their own no less, got totally screwed by his own party as well as a whole host of other unsavory issues that came to light.

We now know a lot more about the inner workings of the democratic party establishment than we knew before. Much of it I'd think troubling to the democratic voter....or any American actually.

One could be excused from becoming rather cynical after reading all of this behind the scenes stuff they wrote back and forth. Obviously the democratic voter is a patsy to be used for one purpose only....and that is their vote for the anointed candidate. Hey....we'll see you again in 4 years, take care!

I'm sure there is a lot of this going on elsewhere too, but for now, this is what has come to light, so this is what we're dealing with.

Frankly, I'm glad the Russians hacked and released the info....it's the only dang transparency we're going to get.

If the Russians had known about Watergate I'd be glad if the news broke that way too.

This is the sad part. It's really hard to get mad at someone exposing the truth about a politician. It's really sad that allegedly it took Russia to do it.
