God, yalls whining about losing is the gift that just keeps on giving...
Oops, I said god...did I offend your delicate liberal sensibilities?
Let me rephrase:
Praise be to Allah, yalls whining about losing is the gift that just keeps on giving...
Is that better.

Here's my thought. There is treason if an American conspired with a foreign state to damage America. Even if Russia helped Trump win the 2016 election, there was no damage to America, since Trump and Hillary are political opponents, so it would not be classified as treason.

But the leaks now... that's a problem huh?
And the hacking didn't reveal any of that. You just proved to me that you never read any of them... you just jumped on the misinformed band wagon known as ATS.

Want an example?
A few posts above someone mentioned the DNC hacks revealing corruption lying etc.
They didn't reveal any such thing.
The constant glut implied there was something.
A lot of people were pulled into it.
And fooled. This is a good example of the effect the Russians had.

That maybe true but overall I doubt it had a significant effect. I'd like to see some research on Trump voters and I bet hardly any of them would say I voted trump because emails or whatever else could be attributed to Russia.
My 2c is the main reason Trump won is becasue he pushed some buttons with the campaign message, make america great, clean up washington, hillary's a crook etc. Hillary basically had no message or campaign except more of the same which clearly us voters weren't too impressed with.
I'd say Russia probably did try to effect the election but this is nothing new, countries and politicians meddle all over the place... like obama trying to influence brexit with basically propaganda. If there has been any criminal wrongdoing there should be investigations but until that is established it's just speculation. Hillary has met putin does that mean she's a russian agent ofcourse not.

So you are saying that trump won because he spouted vapid, meaningless catchphrases?
Nice to know the American voters are of high intelligence.
