Can someone explain how the alleged Russian hacking of DNC and
Hillary's campaign email communications resulted in her losing the
election, the latest claim by the liberal left?
Nobody is suggesting that the ballot box counts were electronically
hacked into and manipulated by anyone, even if that was possible.
The only affect of the hacking (to my knowledge) was the release of
certain emails via Wikileaks. Nobody knows with 100 percent certainty
who was responsible for providing these hacked emails to Wikileaks.
Regardless of the source, nobody, including the Hillary campaign, are
claiming that the content of the leaked emails are'nt authentic either.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing the media does on a regular basis.
Usually it is only when they have dirt on a conservative tho.
As I have said, it only points out how the DNC was trying to corrupt
the election process by playing dirty tricks on Bernie and feeding
Hillary the debate questions before the CNN debate, although I doubt
those softballs would really surprise anyone. The leak itself could as
easily been a disgruntled Bernie supporter inside the DNC. Assange did
not tell us where he got the Emails.
I doubt it changed a single vote either way.
All I have heard as "proof" is they see a russian IP address in the
traffic but if you are that good, you will spoof your IP address or
just launch the attack from somewhere else. If the russians really
wanted to hide an attack, they would launch it from Syria or some
other place with so many bad actors around that nobody would know who
to blame.
I think the Israelis would have had more reason to want Trump than
Putin and they have all of these cyber skills. Did you see Netanyahu
the other day on 60 minutes. He is downright giddy that Trump won and
had nothing but good things to say about him. THAT is scary.
It will be hard to get the coastal DNC people or the CIA to point the
finger at them, even if they knew they did it. Have you heard about
how hard they worked to cover up the Israelis blowing the cover on
Stuxnet?
