Hypothetically speaking, if the Russians had exclusively leaked information about Trump, would you have had this same at ude towards it?
Even if they did hack and publish the emails...
We got to read the real facts without any media filter. I think it's hilarious that hard cores like Boo and Reck are incensed by FACTS being published that gave people more information before they voted.
I assume from their outrage that they would prefer fewer FACTS and just have voters rely on candidate and media spin.
How dare they let people know what was really going on with our elections!

All this hysteria and still no iron-clad, undeniable proof that the Russians "hacked" anything at all. The liberals who peddle this drivel are almost as bad as the Pizzagate nutjobs.
what are the facts?
Kinda weird that Wikileaks only released cracks of Dems, nothing about the Repugs.
Did wikileaks have Repug cracks, too, but refused to release them, or did the Russian crackers only crack Dem systems?
Germans are saying Russians are ing with their election, too.
I think the Russian are less probable influencers, corrupters than the Repugs, eg, in Michigan with Repug judges shutting down the recount, so many ed up machines, anomalies in black areas, etc, etc.
In fact, the whole Russian angle could be a Repug/Russian smokescreen hiding Repug counting fraud, voting machines diddling.
WikiLeaks released Palin's emails in 2008 with no outrage from the left. They also leaked 44 years' worth of diplomatic cables, which naturally included some from Republican administrations. It's only when they go after Democrats that the conspiracies start flying.
"Russian interference" is the radical left's latest excuse to avoid admitting to themselves how unpopular and out-of-touch they've become. It's not a surprise that other countries run by loony leftists are now using the same excuse.
Palin wasn't the candidate. Where was the outrage from the Repugs?
Doesn't matter who did what first. Stop the playground and realize any foreign involvement in a sovereign election is a storm on the horizon.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Washington Post's CIA sources are more credible than 4chan's sources.
She was on the ticket. Where was the outrage from Democrats? Or does your concern for fair elections with no interference only work one way?
pitbull wasn't the candidate, she was the "bucket of warm piss". Were any crimes exposed? or just her shakedown of RNC for her wardrobe?
Did Dems launch multiple Congressional committees to investigate, hype, FOR YEARS, pitbull es' "crimes"?
It does not matter what the Democrats or the left think.
It still needs to be looked into. We know the Chinese stole a bunch of industry stuff.
Do you think it's a big forget about it hoax?
They are naturally hypocritical. Should be part of their slogans.
No, it's all just a coincidence. Assange then asking Trump to pardon him from rape charges is a completely unrelated coincidence too.
Be wise if our own government would stop being involved first.
Don't make me repost the intercept article again
I feel like someone else will be demanding a repost behind the scenes. Dolla dolla bill yall!Don't make me repost the intercept article again
Is Trump a Russian "asset"?
A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump
In June, the former Western intelligence officer—who spent almost two decades on Russian intelligence matters and who now works with a US firm that gathers information on Russia for corporate clients—was assigned the task of researching Trump's dealings in Russia and elsewhere, according to the former spy and his associates in this American firm. This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project's financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.) "It started off as a fairly general inquiry," says the former spook, who asks not to be identified. But when he dug into Trump, he notes, he came across troubling information indicating connections between Trump and the Russian government. According to his sources, he says, "there was an established exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin of mutual benefit."
On Friday, FBI Director James Comey set off a political blast when he informed congressional leaders that the bureau had stumbled across emails that might be pertinent to its completed inquiry into Hillary Clinton's handling of emails when she was secretary of state. The Clinton campaign and others criticized Comey for intervening in a presidential campaign by breaking with Justice Department tradition and revealing information about an investigation—information that was vague and perhaps ultimately irrelevant—so close to Election Day. On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid upped the ante. He sent Comey a fiery letter saying the FBI chief may have broken the law and pointed to a potentially greater controversy: "In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government…The public has a right to know this information."
Reid's missive set off a burst of speculation on Twitter and elsewhere. What was he referring to regarding the Republican presidential nominee? At the end of August, Reid had written to Comey and demanded an investigation of the "connections between the Russian government and Donald Trump's presidential campaign," and in that letter he indirectly referred to Carter Page, an American businessman cited by Trump as one of his foreign policy advisers, who had financial ties to Russia and had recently visited Moscow. Last month, Yahoo News reported that US intelligence officials were probing the links between Page and senior Russian officials. (Page has called accusations against him "garbage.") On Monday, NBC News reported that the FBI has mounted a preliminary inquiry into the foreign business ties of Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chief. But Reid's recent note hinted at more than the Page or Manafort affairs. And a former senior intelligence officer for a Western country who specialized in Russian counterintelligence tells Mother Jones that in recent months he provided the bureau with memos, based on his recent interactions with Russian sources, contending the Russian government has for years tried to co-opt and assist Trump—and that the FBI requested more information from him.
"This is something of huge significance, way above party politics," the former intelligence officer says. "I think own party should be aware of this stuff as well."
Does this mean the FBI is investigating whether Russian intelligence has attempted to develop a secret relationship with Trump or cultivate him as an asset? Was the former intelligence officer and his material deemed credible or not? An FBI spokeswoman says, "Normally, we don't talk about whether we are investigating anything." But a senior US government official not involved in this case but familiar with the former spy tells Mother Jones that he has been a credible source with a proven record of providing reliable, sensitive, and important information to the US government.er and his material deemed credible or not?

CIA says Russia favored Trump
The CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election
to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system,
according to officials briefed on the matter.
Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who
provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and others,
including Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, according to U.S. officials.
Those officials described the individuals as actors known to the intelligence community and part of a wider Russian operation to boost Trump and hurt Clinton's chances.
"It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected," said a senior U.S. official briefed on an intelligence presentation made to U.S. senators.
"That's the consensus view."
President Barack Obama's administration has been debating for months how to respond to the alleged Russian intrusions, with White House officials concerned about escalating tensions with Moscow and being accused of trying to boost Clinton's campaign.
In September, during a secret briefing for congressional leaders, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) voiced doubts about the veracity of the intelligence, according to officials present.
The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment.

... and then there's the Repug operative James Comey.
Asset only in the way he's going to put an end to this re ed cold war sentiment politicians give Russian, tbh
I feel like you'll stop using this account in less than a month.
Why should they?
Everyone know SFGate is a lying liberal rag. Why legitimize it as if it matters what they say?
Notice how well sourced it is not...
Please find us the source for this:
The U.S. intelligence community has said the hacks on the emails of the DNC were carried about by Russian agents
You have some catching up to do.
