Anti-Hillary materials released include FIOA from Judicial Watch, publications by the FBI and widespread intrusions into Hillary's unsecured server. So, I'm not sure if ~Russians~ can be blamed for Trump's win, regardless of a few lines of code that says "maybe".
Russians are not responsible for Clinton's defeat, the arrogance of the Democratic party is. That is not the point. Russia is hacking private citizens and the government, and disseminating lies and propaganda in order to manipulate you and me. Do you have a problem with that or not?
There isn't a funded, resourced intelligence agency in the world that doesn't have wet dreams considering all the possibilities for exploitation that have yet to be dreamed up using tomorrow's technology to spy, control, influence, manipulate and obfuscate...if there is, they ought to think about flipping burgers or stacking shelves instead of intelligence work, because this is today's reality, and tomorrow's will make today's look like someone earwigging a conversation over your shoulder.
Long before the election, and all this Russian hacking bullsh!t that you were spoon fed, Hillary Clinton was doing things to cause conflict with Russia. She was on a war path with Russia.
Now that she lost the election, all of a sudden all this Russian hacking crap has come up. Don't you find that odd at all?
It's quite straightforward who 'attempted to benefit'...the DNC as an organisation, wanted to divert attention away from their fatally flawed internal security measures, not least of which was Clinton's criminally lax IT security, if you could even call it security.

How would publishing Podesta's emails divert attention from the DNC's security problems? On the contrary, it highlighted them. What's more, the exposure of the party's routine "dirty tricks" was used in an attempt to alienate Sanders supporters. Then there was the barrage of "fake news." Was the DNC responsible for that, too? What strategy did that tactic support? And the trolls? Sponsored by the DNC? To what end?
Your theory makes no sense whatsoever, but it does manage to integrate the "Killary" meme.
I'm not saying the leak was intended to divert attention away from those emails and the server scandal...that was FULLY intended to highlight those issues, obviously...the invention that became the Russian hack-gate was and still is, the obfuscation ploy.

And let me know what you guys think.
I think the Russians are getting desperate. They are setting it up so that gullible people will blame the CIA for Russia's espionage.
Why would they even bother? Them CIA & NSA are spying on every country in the world, so Russians can too, right?
Yes, but right now the Russians want to convince Americans that it was the CIA that was interfering in the United States election, not Russia. Some puppet will be along in a minute to make that claim. Just wait and see.
And the CIA has tools to make it look like it was anyone else besides themselves.
But...Russia...
sigh
Because I am an America and I didn't vote for Hillary because Russia told me, but because I research on her background of deceive corruption and greed, you know she does have a long track of it.
Where was the same outrage with Reagan working with the mullahs in Iran to get the hostages released BEFORE he was officially President?
It is by no means the case that every time information comes out which is damaging to a person, administration or party, that information is the issue of their opponents. Sometimes it is the issue of journalism or whistle blowing.

You know it doesn't matter, all the Russian affair is never going to take the fact that US spying agencies are corrupted and working against the American people while spying on them and that is a fact.
That is your opinion. I have explained in detail why political chaos in the United States is of value to Russia. A nation divided cannot take a stand against Russian designs on the world stage. For the Russians, therefore, it doesn't matter who won the election, so long as the process seems illegitimate.
Why do you believe it would be in the best interests of the CIA and/or FBI to put Donald Trump in office?
