When Salon calls out an obvious distraction tactic, it has to be pretty bad. Yet some of the dopey conservative websites and media are playing along and giving column space to article about Russian hacks and national security issues instead of the content of the emails.

I am having a disconnect from reality. I won’t go to the site. Is there some catch to the article buried in the story.

Or is that author their token republican.I didn’t even think they had a token republican.

He is being a little hard on Nixon. Turns out, Nixon and McCarthy were both right. Read the Venona Papers.

And Paul Ryan, “R”-Wisconsin, just has to insert himself into the conversation and tell Russia to ‘stay out of the election’. Proving the Stupid Party really is the Republicans.

And in the process self described the hacking of DNC emails a critical, high priority national security threat.

Remind me again, which two people were hacked by Romainian hackers while sending emails about Libya containing mis appropriated Top Secret US Government information

Now wait a minute, all you upper-case “D” Democrats. A flood light suddenly shines on your party apparatus, revealing its grossly corrupt machinations to fix the primary process and sink the Sanders campaign, and within a day you are on about the evil Russians having hacked into your computers to sabotage our elections — on behalf of Donald Trump, no less?

Is this a joke? Are you kidding? Is nothing beneath your dignity? Is this how lowly you rate the intelligence of American voters?

From Salon. Of all places. Hell hath indeed frozen over.

The FBI just announced that it will investigate — no, not the DNC’s fraudulent practices (which surely breach statutes), but “those who pose a threat in cyberspace.”

All I can postulate is that this fellow loves Bernie more than he hates Trump.

Let’s face it: the MSM is flailing with disastrous results because once those emails came out, they got “outed” as very close allies of the Democratic Party and has completely destroyed whatever credibility they had left (pun kind of intended here!).

Surprised to read this from a Solon writer. Maybe he was a Sandernista?

The DNC blames "\Russia" so in affect, Trump says Well,if the Russians have all these emails I hope they give us Hillery's . They distort that into "Trump supports Russian espionqage" But please watch this !! ESPIONAGE HAS THE FOLLOWING DEFINITION."es·pi·o·nage ˈespēəˌnäZH/ noun the practice of spying or of using spies, typically by governments to obtain political and military information. synonyms: spying, infiltration" Are they saying that Hillery's deleted emails are governmental political and military information ? I thought they were personal?? They are admitting that they were not? If the Russians got them ,I hope they release them too!! I will speculate that Assange has them and he WILL release them. She is a liar. SHE VIOLATED THE ESPIONAGE act and our national security. Not Trump. They have so little to go with they do this out of desperation,.
