(2,654 posts)In June 2016, officials at the Democratic National Committee revealed that their computer networks had been penetrated by hackers, whom the FBI and intelligence agencies later determined worked for the Russian intelligence services. Emails taken in those incursions subsequently were published by WikiLeaks, and in October, the site released emails that had been stolen from Mrs. Clintons campaign chairman, John Podesta.
At that point, intelligence officials had little doubt that the Russian government was attempting to interfere in the presidential elections. By the end of 2016, they concluded publicly that the Russian hacking campaign was meant to undermine Mrs. Clinton and help Mr. Trump.

(1,702 posts)Stone teased "something BIG coming" (days later it did)
Trump teased "hope they hack her emails" (they already had)
Trump teased "something big is going to be released" (and his Junior met with Russians hoping...)
If anyone believes that the old fart wasn't orchestrating this then they are as delusional as he now has become.
Follow the money. Impeachment we still have to guard that F'er for life; money laundering, RICO, fraud bank loans the Penal system will guard his ass for 20 years or until he goes to meet his maker. (the thing far below the devil that only a few get to meet...)

Don't hold your breath.
I've seen way too much shit from government in my 70 something years to think anything other than the powers that be all wanted Herr Hair and his dancing elephant act in office. There is no telling what putrid vile skank they are doing behind the scenes.
We may not know for decades.

(16,420 posts)Then, in the spring of 2016, U.S. intelligence officials suspicions about Russian meddling in the election grew after their counterparts in Europe warned that Russian money might be flowing into the presidential election, according to officials with knowledge of the warning. It remains unknown if or whether those funds were funneled to a particular campaign or to others to spend it on behalf of candidates.
I hope they are looking into Super PACs, in particular Paul Ryan's and Mitch McConnell's.

(5,400 posts)Yes. This is part of the key. Those f**ckers knew that the fix was in-- because THEY were in on it-- and acted accordingly with regard topology and SCOTUS. They all need to rot in jail.

(43,182 posts)There was a lot of the same bullshit disinformation being shared over social media about Trump's GOP opponents as what would be lobbed against Hillary. We just weren't paying as close attention because it wasn't against us and face it, Ted Cruz was a douchebag anyways.
But I remember weird sites pushing massive amounts of Trump propaganda to gullible Republican voters. Like the site run by "Gary Forbes", who was retweeted by prominent far-right conservative figures all over (like Ann Coulter) and even by Trump himself. I'm pretty sure that a failed out of work new-age pianist/inspiration speaker/self-help writer named Gary Pasquariello (the real name of "Gary Forbes" probably didn't have the funds to run such a massive social media campaign on his own.

(43,159 posts)We all heard things that made no sense ... the two parties are the same, Hillary is as corrupt as any Republican, the Clinton Foundation is tied into many foreign governments, Benghazi!, emails! .... it began about 2013 ... if not before
These ideas leaked, floated, pushed by the press for whatever reason didn't come from nowhere ... someone was behind it with
an agenda ... a goal ... a political or economic policy that would benefit them and not the masses
Squeaky wheel gets the grease, grea$e makes the machinery go, it doesn't just happen out of nowhere
Common people have to fight for every inch! Make sure you understand that.
