#1 They couldn't crack a simple email server, tax records or a cell phone. What success will they have here?

#3 "There's value in information there
if you're a nation state actor, so (it) shouldn't be surprising."

This surely isn't the Comey FBI is it ?

#6 Criminal activity is not an FBI concern. Further dissemination and damage-control are their concerns.

#7 Oh, now a concern for an email compromise? Oh, right, it's to protect a political agenda.

#8 Following an extensive search of Fred's photo library, I believe I have finally located a photo of agents leaving the bureau in disgust following the Clinton email decision made by Director Comey.

Hat tip and best wishes to each of these courageous Federal Law Enforcement employees.

#10 Another case of trying to fault the messenger instead of the message itself.

#11 I have been thinking about what would motivate the DNC email releases if it was the Russian SVR/GRU or some variant thereof serving Putin. I am of two minds:
1. They have the entire home server files and they contain connections between Hilda and the Foundation that are criminal and damning. They have threatened the release to gain power over the presumptive next President of the US to exert great influence for their benefit.
2. Putin really wants Trump to win and the release was to damage Hilda.

So what motive underlies either answer---NATO.
Geopolitically, Putin wants to reestablish the territory, prestige and influence of the former USSR but under the rubric of mother Russia and its new TSAR, himself. Consider that Hilda is feckless and corrupt, and thus can be made to lessen our support of NATO and fail to react to any Charter 5 violation. But equally, Trump and his "fair share" demand may well have the same effect as the weak sisters cannot divert money from their social programs to pay us for our military sustainment under a Trump administration.
While not sure which, I lean towards the former since Hilda is a known commodity and seen as utterly venal and cowardly, totally vulnerable to blackmail, not to mention the perversity of her jackass husband and the Huma connection.

Which are all traits that Vlad can both, get his head around as well as respect.

#13 And exploit with little effort. Sure lowers the prices.

#14 Maybe the hackers didn't realize that hacking is wrong, and Comey can let them off with a warning.

#15 If the Obama administration can interfere in Israel's election why shouldn't Putin in ours?

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
