What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If the GOP has something to hide and it's brought to light then I have no sympathy for them. Hasn't happened yet though, so we'll see.

Yes, if the goal is to discredit the United States and our institutions rather than to get at Clinton or the democrats then the next target is the Trump administration. Can you imagine all the dirt that these billionaire business people have been involved in from sex scandals, extra-marital affairs to illegal deals to god knows what - much of which resides on computers that have little, if any, security? Putin will find it, Putin will leak it. Trumpies will soon discover that Trump's love for Putin is unrequited.

ROTFLMAO!

Somehow I knew that someone would say that...of course...a bit of research would show you that, sadly, this news ain't fake.

Will you blame the Russians and call those that benefit communist sympathizers?

show me the "bit of research" that led you to a clear conclusion that "this news ain't fake."

I'm not a Trump supporter and didnt vote for him, but I felt the partisan cat was out of the bag the minute it was leaked the CIA had intelligence and the Democrats were talking about the Russians non stop to try to deflect the content of the emails. If the CIA and WH had released actual proof it might have detracted slightly from the partisan feel although I dont think it would have brought more people back to Hillary as it was the content that was the bigger issue not who brought it to light. And with the Obamas out and about campaigning loudly for HRC no one was really questioning that some element of partisin politics was in play. I feel the DNC continues to underestimate the impact of how they undermined Bernie's campaign and how that made them the party of the status quo and Big Washington. At its core, this election was about change and the DNC missed that completely starting to nail their coffin shut during the primaries.

There is nothing wrong with getting along with Russia. They were even right about Syria while we were absolutely wrong.

There has been no evidence provided that Russia interfered with the election, so this is more fake news by the msm.

The part of this story that is true, is when Trump said the CIA was wrong about WMDs in Iraqi. The CIA pushes the propaganda the establishment wants, even if it is completely make up nonsense.

You would be much better off disregarding fake news sites like the WP.

The Bernie factor that the Russians exposed might have made a difference at least in Michigan where 60,000 voters selected Stein in a state Trump took by less than 10,000. If only 1 in 6 of those Stein voters were so off-put by what they perceived was unfair treatment of Sanders that they would not vote for Clinton, then Putin accomplished what he set out to do.

Sorry, this is NOT the fault of the Russians. This is the fault of the (D)'s. Dont run a corrupt, incompetent candidate and be surprised when they lose.
