If you can't figure out, by now, that either Trump knew about this and willingly worked with a hostile foreign government to win the presidency or he's just too dumb to realize how much assistance he was getting then you're blinding yourself or intentionally performing doublethink.

Can anyone name me an election in American history that wasn't meddled with by outside (foreign) agencies?
Can anyone name a foreign election the the US did not meddle in?
The funny part is no one talks about that the emails were true, and IF the DNC did not pull a Hillary on Sanders there would not be anything to talk about. If I was a liberal I would thank Russia for identifying those email to me.

I can believe that Trump was totally unaware early on. Somewhere in the late-summer of 2016 and certainly into the fall (after he started to receive intel briefings) I can't believe he didn't know what was going on. All I can think is that he became complicit when it was showing that the efforts were working in his favor and then, instead of just owning up to his mistake after winning, he kept the lie going. That is the most Trump-friendly explanation I can think of.

Is a hack of Clinton's email server mentioned in this indictment?
Were the missing emails that Trump joked about available anyplace mentioned in this indictment?

And Obama was where in all this?
I think he was President at the time, and the time before, it was all on his watch, but you think Trump somehow was suppose to know all.
Russia want's disruption and that is what they got and what they have today. They don't care who wins as long as people feel it wasn't 100% legit they did their job. Same thing the CIA has been doing for 60 years or more.
What mistakes did Trump do? Did he pay for the emails like the DNC and Hillary did for the dossier? The dossier has Russian fingers all over it too, so how do you explain that?

So meddling in foreign affairs is totally OK, we're just getting some of our own medicine. A wildly unpopular president who lost the popular vote in the election should still get our full support for his policies because 'respect the office, not the man.' Something along those lines? I'm sure that all worked out so well for the countries that the CIA meddled with.

Exactly!
My post that you are responding to was in response to those blaming Trump's joke for the cause of the hacks leading to these indictments.
