In a piece published in the Wall Street Journal, the former AG for the George W. Bush administration speculated that Russian President Vladimir Putin never thought Trump would win the election and instead wanted to “send a warning” to Clinton that Russia could have information from her hacked personal email server.
“Consider the Justice Department inspector general's report on the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of an unauthorized and vulnerable email server,” Mukasey wrote. “It found that the bureau had concluded the server could well have been penetrated without detection. Recall also that some of the people hacked by GRU [Russia’s military intelligence agency] agents were aware of that server and mentioned it in messages they sent, so that the Russians too were aware of it.”
Mukasey added: “There are some 30,000 emails that Mrs. Clinton did not turn over, on the claim that they were personal and involved such trivia as yoga routines and Chelsea's wedding. If they instead contained damaging information -- say, regarding Clinton Foundation fundraising -- the new president would have taken office in the shadow of a sword dangling from a string held by the Russians.”
Pointing to the indictment last week of 12 GRU agents, the former attorney general also suggested that Putin wanted U.S. intelligence services to discover Russian meddling in the election -- and that if he really wanted agents from Moscow to go undetected he would have used a far more capable source than the former Russian “special-forces types” that make up GRU.

Day: 523
Clinton was using her computer as a dropbox for US secrets.
The Russians would send money to the Clinton racket foundation as a “donation” and the Clintons would sell uranium and anything else to the Russians.
Why does Trump allow the traitors to go free?
Total sense. I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it myself.
What meddling?
This actually makes much more sense than Putin having something on Trump. Anything he had on Trump would be far less interesting than stuff Trump’s adversaries and partners in business would have, except that stuff would not be seen as a danger to the Republic. But buying and selling not only govt access but govt policy would shake the Republic to its foundations. Trump was never in a position to do that, but Hillary had 25 years of opportunity. Mukaskey is on to the truth.
And do you really think he would "fall" to blackmail??
Like...you got me. What do you want?? California??? Not a problem.
The data that Hillary was paid for, intentionally kept at low security so Russia could access what they paid for, was gibberish. the white hats in US intel found out what Hillary was up to and fed her crap. Russia verified what they bought was crap. They launched all out war to crush useless Hillary and US intel was on to them and her.
THAT is a BOMBSHELL!!!
Your disbelief doesn’t stop Putin from digging.
The rest of your comment is not understandable.
