Serious question about Russian hack
 

I confess to being a little torn on this. Not sure how I feel.

For the sake of argument, I'll stipulate that Russia was responsible
for hacking into the DNC email accounts and Hillary's campaign manager's
account. Let's agree that the hacked emails were then made available to
Wikileaks, as most claim.

For a while some Hillary supporters were suggesting that not only were
the emails hacked but Russia also changed some of the wording in them to
make matters worse for Hillary. Those claims died though after copies
of the original emails were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop that he
shared with his wife.

So, what really caused Hillary to lose the election? I am certainly not
advocating Russian hacking of personal emails but the act of hacking
isn't what caused her to lose. It was the content of the emails that
caused her to lose.

Nothing to be confused about.
The Russian hackers had nothing to do with HRC's loss. They revealed
nothing but common politics and gossip.
The news media's drumbeat of HRC "corruption," and hammering her on her
private State Department server, and Comey coming up with "new emails" -
which weren't - made enough Bernie voters stay home.
The stupid voters came out, and carried the day for the pussy grabber.
It was the lowest turnout sine 1996. It was Stupid Day, 2016.

So should we condone the Russian hacking because it exposed the truth?
I think not. It would be a dangerous precedent. Would Hillary have
lost anyway? It's entirely possible. Her act did not play well in
the heartland of the country but we'll never know for sure. Is Trump
better for the country than Hillary? The jury is still out on that
one. Trump's temperment and ethics are worrisome to say the least.

I feel exactly the same way, hence my confession of being torn on the
issue. The hacking by Russia is nothing new or unique. We can't
condone it but it's a form of espionage that just about every country
and government on the planet engages in, including us. The conundrum
is, as you pointed out, that the hacking by Russia exposed truths about
DNC activities to suppress Bernie's chances and the recognition by
Hillary's campaign staff that they had some serious problems with her
email stories.

I don't even believe that. The electorate was so split, a little dirty
dealing by the Clinton folks was not likely to have changes anyone's
opinion. Everyone was already well aware that she was not trustworthy
and the ones willing to vote for her did not care. Biden summed it up
best. She just ignored the working class in flyover country and
preached to the choir on the coasts. Even when she stumped here, she
went to Miami/FtL and Orlando.
as for the hack
I still say, only a Clinton could call the truth "disruptive" and
"manipulation". How can the same people who cheer Snowden and
Ellsberg, condemn leaking the truth about the DNC? (whoever did it,
there is still a suspicion that some of it came from Bernie folks)

That assumes Bernie people would ever vote for Hillary. He summed up
her sleaziness better than Trump.

Hillary was a vote for 4 more years of the last 25. Bernie and Trump
represent the thought that people want something different even if it
is wrong.
I just hope we survive it ;-)
Bear in mind, I voted for Gary.

Whoever did it did the job the media should have (wouldn't?) do. They exposed Hillary's perjury and corruption.

Say, isn't there a lady democrat AG in PA getting ready to go to jail for far less than Hillary's crimes? The difference is Kane was bucking the system. Hillary *is* (or was!) the system. The good people of the US are tired of it.

I cannot believe a liberal is blaming the liberal media for Hillary's loss.

Not even Hillary has done that.

It is funny how they are slicing and dicing the statistics without
acknowledging that these were the two most unpopular candidates in
recent history, if not the entire history of the republic. Even your
VP says Hillary ignored the mid west swing states and hinted that the
voters she needed were deplorable. The DNC ****ed up nominating
Hillary and Hillary ran a horrible campaign. Without the inevitable
defeat of Trump in their sights, the DNC might have made better
choices.
OTOH if the GOP had a better candidate, it would not have even been a
close race.
This is what happens when both candidates are as bad as the choices we
were handed.

that
caused her to lose.
Nothing to be confused about.
The Russian hackers had nothing to do with HRC's loss. They revealed
nothing but common politics and gossip.
The news media's drumbeat of HRC "corruption," and hammering her on
her
private State Department server, and Comey coming up with "new
emails" -
which weren't - made enough Bernie voters stay home.
The stupid voters came out, and carried the day for the pussy
grabber.
It was the lowest turnout sine 1996. It was Stupid Day, 2016.



Bitter, Kevin?


Well, no one is going to accuse you of being clever...about anything.

This isn't a comedy club.

Sure it is. You deplorables are hysterical.

Fantastic response!


Look what happened to the last person calling people deplorables.
Unemployed.

LOL

For the sake of argument, I'll stipulate that Russia was responsible
for hacking into the DNC email accounts and Hillary's campaign
manager's
account. Let's agree that the hacked emails were then made
available to
Wikileaks, as most claim.

For a while some Hillary supporters were suggesting that not only
were
the emails hacked but Russia also changed some of the wording in
them to
make matters worse for Hillary. Those claims died though after
copies
of the original emails were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop that he
shared with his wife.

So, what really caused Hillary to lose the election? I am
certainly not
advocating Russian hacking of personal emails but the act of hacking
isn't what caused her to lose. It was the content of the emails
that
caused her to lose.

Unemployed.

And, likely, unemployable. Think she will be a draw on the speaking
circuit?

More and more, it looks as if the Trump Criminal Organization is going
to have to leave office because of conflicts, as in this one:

Trump's loans from Deutsche Bank AG, about $300 million, are at the
center of a delicate loan-restructuring discussion, which is under
investigation on several fronts by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The bank is trying to restructure some of Trump’s roughly $300 million
debt as part of an attempt to reduce any conflict of interest between
the loan and his presidency, according to a person familiar with the
matter. Normally, the removal of a personal pledge might lead to
more-stringent terms. But there is little normal about this interaction.
Trump’s attorney general will inherit an investigation of Deutsche Bank
related to stock trades for rich clients in Russia -- where Trump says
he plans to improve relations -- and may have to deal with a possible
multibillion-dollar penalty to the bank related to mortgage-bond
investigations.

Whatever terms a restructured loan might include, they will reflect the
complex new relationship spawned between Germany’s largest bank and its
highest-profile client. Ethicists say this concerns them.
