President Obama’s punishment of Russia for allegedly hacking the emails of Democratic Party operatives to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election ignores at least two important facts.
For one, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose hacktivist organization released the thousands of emails that shed damaging light on Hillary Clinton and her allies, denied the Russians were the source.
The administration announced Thursday that through an executive order, Obama sanctioned two of Russia’s intelligence services, the GRU and FSB, and declared 35 Russian intelligence operatives “persona non grata” in the U.S. Also, the U.S. is shutting down Russian compounds in Maryland and New York.
‘Personal beef’
Earlier this month, in a speech to donors in New York City, Hillary Clinton blamed her defeat on Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming “a personal beef” with her prompted him to meddle in the U.S. presidential election.
Vladimir Putin himself directed the covert cyber attacks against our electoral system, against our democracy, apparently because he has a personal beef against me,” Clinton said. ”He is determined not only to score a point against me but also undermine our democracy.”
Clinton claimed that Russia had hacked both the Democratic National Committee and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, and released the emails to Wikileaks in a plot to boost Trump.
Clinton called for Congress to set up a commission similar to the commission set up after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center
‘No proof whatsoever’
Assange, however, in a July 25 interview with NBC News, said there was “no proof whatsoever” that Wikileaks obtained nearly 20,000 hacked Democratic National Committee from Russian intelligence.
Assange said DNC servers have been riddled with security holes for years and that many sets of documents from multiple sources are now in public hands.
Pres Obama is almost out of office, but he is convinced that the Russians even though Wikileaks released 1000's of emails denied that Russia was a source.

Podesta is carrying HRC's water with his claim that Russia was meddling in the election.
Thank goodness HRC was not elected. Also thank goodness the all inclusive Obama is almost out of there, before he gets us in a war with 130 million Russians.
Also wtf do the warhawks in Washington hope to gain from provoking Russia? They got their Orwellian legislation passed a few days ago, so what's next?
