I think that this is the pre-cursor ploy by Obama to plant the seeds for taking over the elections.....Betcha anything we come to find out that all of Hillary’s leaks came from her mis-placed/mis-handled hardware and that this is just a smokescreen of epic proportions.

The LEFT is pulling out all the stops to try to keep Trump from being elected.

The latest is painting Trump as some kind of Russian stooge.

Guys, prepare for the worst.

So now the narrative will be that we distrust Hillary because we stupidly believe the Russian propaganda? Russians!?! Really?

Oh yeah. Ethnic Russians are WHITE. Ethnic Russians are CHRISTIAN. That makes them evil in Progressive America.

I guess that means Russia is supporting Hillary. But not very covert.

Sure. Now this regime puts their cronies like Jeh “Dimwit” Johnson in charge of “protecting” our elections.

Fills me with trust, alright.

And yet they made fun, first of Sarah Palin, then Romney.

NOW the Russians are a problem, and are the reason for Trump's popularity?

God these people are stupid.

Only total morons trust anyone in our Democrap and RINO parties.

We don’t need Russia to “sow” any distrust, the vile dishonest despicable US political class has done a great job of that.

The “US” government arms al Qaeda, dilutes US votes,
supports slavery and fraud, made the FBI into FIB,
and HATES Americans.

Anything is an improvement.

I am so happy. Americans, even WaPo readers, mostly see this as it is. A desperate attempt to steal the election.... BY THE DEMS. Read the comments at the WaPo. They were coming in fast and furious, saying things like "more worried about our own FBI than Putin" and "it seems the only people concerned are the most partisan Dems in the country" etc.

We knew they would try ANYTHING to win. Trump is Hitler isn't working. Now they are trying Trump is Putin. Guess what? Putin is the only honest quote in this article. He says "Who cares where the leaks come from, as long as the American people have this info?"
