    Dutch intelligence informed the U.S. that the Russian government was hacking the DNC.

    It's like, Russia hacks some sjit and realeses truthful information.
    "OMG! They literally rigged our elections! so wrong! rissia is evil!"

    America, on the other hand;
    Iran, Guatemela, Chile, Italy, Nicaragua, Czechoslovakia, Haiti, Middle East and even Russia have had their elections swayed/damaged/undermined by America. This was also direct involvement in the elections, rather than hacking emails and posting them online.

    Still never heard someone explain how you can f---ing hack an election, here's a hint, you can't

    Swaying people's opinions on social media/having Trump's back in s--- =/= hacking

    It’s not an if, they did. None of the leaks implicated Hillary or the DNC of doing anything illegal as far as I know. Were there some unprofessional ethics exposed? Sure. For instance, the DNC showing favoritism to Clinton over Sanders. Even then though, a lot of this was common sense. There’s always a candidate that the establishment favors over the rest — every election. When these leaks are ONLY happening to one of the two major political parties, it becomes problematic because then you not only have a foreign nation trying to influence a U.S. election but two parties operating on different standards. A lot of the things the DNC got “exposed” for, the RNC probably does too (favoring certain candidates). Yet, the RNC can get away with it but the DNC can’t? It’s not an even playing field.

    You don’t think the constant leaking of the DNC/Podesta’s emails had any affect on voters decisions? I mean, this email story dominated the news cycle for years & was a constant cloud over clinton’s campaign.

    Two things

    A. CNN had nothing to do with that report. WSJ broke the story which as i’m sure you know, leans to the right.
    B. You’d probably end up like this idiot who tried something similar with the Washington Post & failed miserably. You really don’t have any grasp on how journalism works huh?

    I'm not talking anything about influence, I'm saying when you tell dumb a--- people (90% of america) that the russians hacked the elections they think that means some russian dudes typed in some numbers and BOOM trump is president, because I mean really "hacking the election" means hacking the election, poor choice of words that misleads a lot of people.

    Well....some people are stupid. I’ve never encountered someone who thought “Russian hacking” meant the Russians literally hacked & changed votes in the election. That’s never really been the concern.

    It's ironic how this Russian hacking bs is being propagated by the same people that said the election couldn't possibly be hacked or undermined in any way, shape or form. Remember when Obama said our electoral system was 100% bulletproof when he thought Hillary would win? This s--- is also coming from the same morons who told us, wrongly, that Russia hacked the French election.

    And I've said this before: it doesn't take some Russian hacker to steal DNC documents. All it takes is one disgruntled staffer capable of guessing a weak password. It doesn't have to be Seth Rich, it could have been anyone with access to their systems. Their f---ing janitor could have been the leaker.

    How does none of this give you pause, @Enigma?

    Remember also when CNN told its viewers it was illegal for them to read Wikileaks releases? Which is not only hypocritical but total bs:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...says-cnns-chris-cuomo/?utm_term=.c19208104e75

    I don't know how anyone can still trust CNN. How do you not recognize propaganda when it's so blatantly, in-your-face obvious?

    Imo it's the opposite. I think educated people, especially the highly educated, tend to be more susceptible to propaganda than are the uneducated. (Not that that's the only factor at play.)

    Which raises the question you've been dodging: why didn't the revelations in those emails change your mind? You don't have to answer that, though, because the question already has an answer built into it: you're a partisan.
