Look who’s pushing the Russian Hacker story?
Trump may claim to want to “Make America Great (or ‘Merica!) Again,” but there’s nothing more American than a good Russian conspiracy. And the folks peddling it are predictable. The DNC and the neocons (Big Government (war-hawk) Republicans).
Here they are tweeting away as if Trump and Putin are ‘buddies’ and that the leaks are being orchestrated from the Kremlin. The first is retweeted by David Frum:
This is very convincing and comprehensive on the Russian origin of the DNC leaks. https://t.co/VkPhOdW9DI

@mbrooksrjc True, when Trump buddies up to Putin, wants out of WTO, etc. it’s fatal. Maybe why RJC members giving him so little $?

And here’s neo-con (Sith Lord) Bill Kristol ready for new McCarthy-style hearings. I actually thought this was a joke article until I saw who tweeted it!
Shouldn’t there be a Congressional investigation into “whether Putin is interfering in the American election?”https://t.co/8IgRsKLxap

This is the same crew who wish they could put the Snowden leaks of proven unconstitutional behavior back in the bottle. All in the name of SAFETY AND SECURITY. Even if the DNC was hacked by Russian agents (not unlikely), it doesn’t nullify their content or prove anything about the publisher. It may simply confirm that the DNC’s system was insecure and likely hacked by numerous groups. Hmmm, reminds me of a certain Sec. of State who mishandled classified information…
People conflating 1) DNC hack by Russia & 2) Guccifer 2.0. See this WashPost article https://t.co/E6vnu9jtJq pic.twitter.com/pXF1ZpNE8J
