Nobody is claiming the Russians wrote those emails or was behind the corruption of the DNC.

This is classic shooting the messenger ... but without solid proof the Russians were the messenger. Because maybe it will take our eyes off the ball.

The more troubling question is who beyond DWS was involved in the corruption of the DNC (and by violating their bylaws to be unbiased, they were corrupted) and how much impact did that corruption have on the end result?

The media hasn't got there yet but more than likely, some eventually will.

Now someone can try to shoot me, another messenger, wrongfully claiming I'm a Russian-Trump plant because I had the nerve to ask who beyond DWS was involved in this mess. Shooting me isn't going to make that question go away. We need answers - not trite sacrificial lambs to sucker us into thinking "problem solved!"
