#1 "Let's remember that Vladimir Putin thinks [Clinton] interfered in his election

Yea right, Vlad thought he might lose the Russian election due to Clinton's involvement. Ok, I get it now.

#3 "McFaul, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, said he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Donald Trump win the presidency to hurt Clinton." And I think the Golden State Warriors threw the championship.

#4 That Putin thinks HRC screwed with him in his 2011 election would be sufficient motivation to give her some problems.
I believe that no matter who HRC ran against in the "finals," the Pub or Indy candidate would have benefited from Mr. Putin's pique. Is that "help?" Yeah, I guess so, but serendipitously.

Why no talk about the "home-brew" server and what may have been gleaned from it? And how?

#5 I imagine if the Russians had really interfered we'd have seen much more serious stuff coming out on Wikileaks.

#6 Lessee. Obumble didn't even try to hide his efforts to meddle in Israel's elections. So, good for thee, but not for me, which is, after all a core dem operating principle. If swil really did use her position as Secretary of State to fiddle with Putin's election, that'd be "reap what you sow, baby..."

Except, he didn't have to wait in line given how inept she was in handling important materials. As another poster mentioned the other day, she took the safeties off the torpedo.
