If it's proven that Russia is meddling in the U. S. Presidential election

then their ambassador should be shown the door. This is beyond serious. AND, as Bill Nelson (Florida) says, the U. S. Is THE best at cyber stuff and can hit back. Do it. Fuck them up big time and do it now.

Russia thinks we're soft, and this is cyber warfare. Time to do some hacking of our own.

He admits it freely. Ecuador is harboring him; therefore, a shit storm needs to rain down on them as well. He is no longer a champion of government transparency, he is a mysogynistic egoist who is suborning his entire organization in order to wreak petty vengeance against someone he feels has wronged him. He is selectively leaking ONLY the emails pertaining to Hillary and he Democratic party apparatus in hopes of destroying her campaign and possible election. He admits as much. Add in the cowardly flight to avoid a rape trial and I honestly don't understand how anyone could consider him a "hero". If he ever was one, he sure as hell isn't one now.

Assange is not a hero, no matter how many here on DU claim he is. I also agree that Ecuador should be getting a lot of shit for harboring him.

Investigating this. She said she heard it on Npr from a government official. When the evidence become provable and solid it could be Cheetos October surprise.

We can only hope. How will Cheeto supporters defend him then?

He's a proven CT conspiracy nut-job. He's stupid (and therefore scary) beyond words.

how you are tying the CIA and FBI into it. Are you saying that they are complicit in helping Trump?

the CIA and FBI are quietly investigating the possible tie between Russia and/or the hackers and Trump/RNC.

I hope this is true.
