Hillary Clinton Says Russia “Arranged” For DNC Emails To Be Released

You can’t make this stuff up. You take a look at what was said in those e-mails, it’s disgraceful.

US officials have yet to publicly accuse Russian Federation of being behind the hack of Democratic Party computers, but various cyber security experts have said they said believe Russian Federation timed the release of the emails with the goal of affecting the presidential race.

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday“, while discussing reports of the Russian government hacking the Democratic National Committee, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said her opponent Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin”. “I respect Putin and Russians but can not believe our leader (Obama) allows them to get away with so much.Hats off to the Russians”. “I hope they do … because you’d see some beauties there, so let’s see”.

Do you believe that Russian Federation is behind the hacking and release of the DNC e-mails?

Trump also predicted a better U.S. -Russia relationship under his administration.

“It is so far-fetched, so ridiculous”.

Leo Taddeo, chief security officer at Cryptzone who previously oversaw FBI cyber investigations in NY, said he believed CrowdStrike was correct in blaming Russian Federation.

Trump’s denial of knowing Putin personally contradicts his own words, which he uttered in May 2014 at a National Press Club luncheon. The tax returns that he refuses to release would reveal Trump’s dependence on investments from Russian oligarchs close to Putin.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said last week he wasn’t ready to pin the hack on Russian Federation. He said Washington politicians often use the Russian Federation card during their campaigns. In 2013, he held his Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and sent a personal invite to Putin (who canceled at the last minute). And a lot of them have turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives.

Trump has suggested the US step back from the unrest in Ukraine. In addition, Manafort worked as a political strategist for a Putin ally _ President Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine. Keep this one in mind. You’ve got to keep it a little bit secret, got to keep it a little bit secret.

On Thursday, Rudolph Giuliani, the former NY mayor, defended Trump in a radio interview with the Mike Gallagher Show, saying, “The Russians have those emails, they’ve had them for some time”.

“I have no relationship with him other than he called me a genius”.

“Of course, I’m being sarcastic”, Trump said in the interview taped Wednesday that aired Thursday. “He’s been very nice to me”, Trump said.

“I have concerns that an agency of foreign intelligence is hacking and interfering with a USA election”, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told Reuters. “He’s been actively attacking the US -backed rebels in Syria, buzzing ships and planes in the Black Sea and the Baltic, not to mention invading Ukraine and seizing Crimea”.

People who have studied him for years say he believes the U.S. is trying to foment the same kind of unrest to oust him.

Though Trump’s pattern of behavior may not meet the legal standards for treason, it again draws into question his fitness to lead. And the Russians are overjoyed at the prospect of having an American president who appears not to think much of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the security alliance that kept Moscow’s ambitions in check throughout the Cold War and helped bring down the Soviet Union. Admiration for a strongman who would run rings around Trump should he be elected.

It’s a comment Trump has repeatedly made at rallies. It’s harder to understand how a GOP candidate who invokes Ronald Reagan can be such a chump.
