| Madeleine Albright: 'Russia engineered DNC email hack to help Trump' |
| 2016-07-27 |
| [Politico] Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Tuesday said Vladimir Putin wants Donald Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton and suggested Russia was likely behind the hack of the Democratic National Committee's emails. "The truth is that a Trump victory in November would be a gift to Vladimir Putin, and given what we've learned about Russia's recent actions, Putin is eager to see Trump win," Albright said in an apparent reference to accusations that Russia had a hand in hacking the email accounts of top DNC officials. Albright's suggestion came as part of a larger Democratic National Convention address, in which she pressed the case for Clinton, saying her foreign policy would prove superior to Trump's. |

| #26 So Snowden hacks for the Kremlin now. Gathering intelligence is what governments do. Placing blame on your opposition party for your security failures is what incompetent government officials do as well. |

| #25 That's because, try as they might, they were unable to penetrate her home-server due to the clever Admin password: "Admin". Unbreakable |

| #24 I think it's funny that when Hillary leaves her private server with Top Secret government info open to any and all hackers it's not a big deal but when DNC info gets leaked... OMG those horrible RUSSIAN hackers are helping the Donald!!! IT'S INCONCEIVABLE! |

| #21 Hey, give the DNC a break. Can you imagine what would happen if it got out that they didn't like socialism? |

| #19 Remind me who wrote the emails in the first place? I don't think it was Vlad... |

| #17 'Russia engineered DNC email hack to help Trump' Reverting back to the tried-and-true method of burying an inconvenient fact under a big, steaming, diversionary pile of Russian conspiracy theory? Whether or not Russia did it is inconsequential here, if for no other reason than they are no longer a half-crazy archenemy. |

| #14 The truth is that this is a diversion. Putin has poured millions into Hillary. Yeah, but Putin has principles. He expects that when he buys a politician, that politician stays bought. Wet jobs are out in this case. |

| #13 So, Maddy & Co, where's the apology to Romney? This broad's got a face for radio... |

| #12 Halfbright might be right this time. Putin might be smart enough to understand that it's really not in his best interest to have someone in the White House who is so incompetent that she can't even run an email server. |

| #11 The truth is that this is a diversion. Putin has poured millions into Hillary. The uranium deal, 2.3 million donation. And it goes on and on. This is all part of how Putin manages the press. Read about his pr guy. They do this shit it Russia all the time. Invest in a school for crippled kids to get the good spin, then bulldoze it six months later for an office building. He is investing in her, now he is attacking her. This neuter's the dems, and causes her and her minions to focus on outings actions rather than her agenda. |

| #10 Someone really needs to fund a study as to why projection shows such a predominance in people whose politics are left of center. If you accept the premise that Leftism is a mental disorder, then no other explanation is needed. Projection would just be one of the markers towards diagnosis. |

| #6 So, Russia now enemy#1? More than global warming? |

| #5 Albright suggests Russia engineered DNC email hack to help Trump. So that's the narrative (lie) they are going with? What's the matter, did Hillary "Rob Em Blind" Clinton stiff Putin when she sold him 20% of U.S. uranium during the Russian reset? |

| #1 So the e-mails are fake, Maddy? Or you're just hoping "Russia" and "Trump" will swing enough of your party's geniuses to vote for your slimeball? |
