Imagine how outraged the Right would be today if the hacking shoe was on the other foot, say if Iran hacked the RNC and Wikileaks helped Clinton win.

Even further, imagine how the Right would react if those hacks exposed the truth that the MSM was colluding with the Right, and manipulating news in favor of a single Republican candidate. Imagine further if those hacks revealed the RNC was conspiring to feed debate questions and other data to that single candidate.

I bet they would be pissed.

Or they would react like the Left did.

If the Russians hacked the DNC, and it looks like they indeed did, it's a big deal.

Wired cherry picking again.... big on words, little on actual evidence. I am in the same field.



And besides, everything that was hacked was private entities. if they want to investigate, they should foot the bill for thier poor security practices.

I am a bit suspicious when I hear someone from our Congress claim, as I just heard, that 17 US Intelligence agencies blame the Russians for hacking.
The obvious question should be "Have you personally been told by 17 Intelligence agencies that the Russians hacked us or are you repeating what you've been told?"
But that question wasn't asked.
Never is.

But anyway, I personally have no problem with this probe.
None.
A bunch of Russian thugs may be hacking god knows who.
We're better off knowing what happened.
But let's not dismiss what they uncovered about a bunch of American thugs working for Hillary & her Party.
We're better off knowing what happened, right?

The evidence they cite states:


"However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. "


They leave that part out.

Helped them win by exposing the back dealings, crimes, and collusion with the mainstream media? Hacking is bad.......... but what whomever it was uncovered was FAR FAR worse.


The country is better off that the rats have been exposed, for both parties.

That was a while ago so that's why we need someone to confront claims about 17 intelligence agencies.
Just looking at the face and hearing the response would be helpful.
 
The Russians had their hands in generating fake news. We should generate a news story that says that we have absolute proof that they rigged our election.


Then nuke Moscow.

I think in terms of "election", it's meaning more "Election Season" than the actual voting process. The notion is that the DNC hacks and Podesta hacks were potentially done by a foreign entity out of hopes of influencing the election.

That makes more sense, but, there's more hay to make on the "election" than just the DNC and Podesta hacks - that's already known information. I guess the details could be hashed but my cynicism tells me this will quickly turn to Stein, the election machines and Trump winning the election.

Hacking is a game of shields and spears.. Let the best programmer win..

If we don't want to be hacked, then do a better job..

The DNC left itself vulnerable and got hit, and we found out some enlightening stuff..

DNCs fault just as it would be my fault if hackers robbed me.. Happens all the time, that's why you protect against it...

This is the document they are using to cite thier claims, there is no new evidence, it's just recycled sour grapes,.
