Right. That’s the same sort of bulldog determination that ended up putting Hillary behind bars. Or not.

They weren’t really hacked. This was all part of an elaborate sting to try and catch hackers. They weren’t actual emails but scripted to foil the would-be hackers. Really, no really, honest.

Yeah ... that's the ticket

Why isn’t the DNC happy with the “Russian hackers” for contributing to their TRANSPARENCY. I thought being transparent was a big item for Hussein and the Dems. Well, nothing says transparency like exposing all of your emails.

It is the same FBI group that was unable to determine if Russia hacked into her personel server. It will he interesting to see if they are able to find DNC hackers but not the hackers who hacked into her personel servers.

The Ministry of Truth to the (DNC and Clinton) rescue.

We are witnessing a new version of the same story: rebellion and tyranny.

Next step in the story is a crisis event to distract us.

The FIB could not find a cheeseburger at McDonald’s at lunchtime much less a hacker.

DNC Grasping at straws, Putin wants Hillary, he owns her and has her 33,000 “missing” emails at hand as well.

Hillary will be Putin’s bitch if this country is stupid enough to elect her.
