Anyone still believes Putin isn't tampering US elections?

Trump can, obviously, never be subtle... and encouraging Putin to hack into his rival is kind of a giveaway, right? I'd like to see the logs directly, but apparently some think the Russians didn't even try to mask themselves in any way. One would think, having the resources of a gangster state behind you, one would know about proxies and subtlety... but, of course not. Putin surely has more subtlety than his partner, but with Trump's mouth now and technical evidence it's only a matter of time until it's surely confirmed... I mean, Stuxnet was discovered, but only after specific investigation... and so, will people support Putin's tampering?

I wish Trump would stop his dalliance with Putin. I mean that sincerely.

It's probable that Russia's trying to hack into our systems. It's pretty probable that other countries are also doing this. And we are also doing this to other countries.

There's no doubt the Russians hacked the servers, that's been verified by three independent security firms, and Yahoo itself. The motivations and connections, however, are unclear. I'm not a Trump fan, obviously, but unless there's tangible proof his campaign was involved then one should stay silent, lest they embarrass themself. This is the type of investigation that needs to be undertaken by the FBI or CIA, but not during the election where it could (and would) be politicized.

I am, however, concerned at Trump's encouraging outside states to hack U.S. servers-- that is exceptionally dangerous, as well as short sighted (hurt long term national security for possible short term political gain).

It wouldn't surprise me. Putin is desperate to avoid the armed conflict that America/NATO is trying to provoke. While Trump can't come outright and say what Mr Putin would like to hear (that would likely be political suicide in a country still hungover from the Cold war and a population psychologically primed against Russia), there have been hints here and there that Trump is not in that mindset. Does he think Trump is the answer? I don't know, it's more likely he's thinking #anyonebuthillary.

It wouldn't surprise me at all, and the hack is most certainly verified to be Russian at any rate.
Would that concern a solid candidate? We will see.

There is no proof that it was the Russians, they said the Sony hacks were from North Korea until we found out that was complete BS. 'Independent security firms' said the same thing about Sony, how would they know? What is that based on? Who was this Guccifer hacker? Was he a Russian agent? Naw, he was some random dude from Romania. Wikileaks released these emails, what they says speaks for themselves. Corruption should be exposed by any means, incompetence on their part is not Russia interfering in the election.

Are you guys on the execute Julian Assange and Edward Snowden train now? What a joke!

Lets pray that Trump wins and fixes our relationship with Russia, that is the best thing that could ever happen.

It probably is not legally treason as we are not in a war with Russia by in my view what Trump did was morally treason. We put Jonathan Pollard in prison for decades for stealing information from us for an ally. How is advocating a competitor steal information from us morally better?

Trump isn't encouraging anything, if there was a hack it already happened a long time ago. Wikileaks is not the Russian government, if you believe junk like that then perhaps you should start voting for people like John McCain who want to start WWIII. If Hillary has nothing to hide then why would she be afraid of the prospect of her personal emails being exposed? She said she turned over all work related emails, that there was nothing that could jeopardize national security, you're trying to compare releasing that information with treason? Give me a break! Hillary has no one to blame but herself, didn't cover her tracks well enough! There has been rumblings about a potential ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation for awhile, perhaps these emails can force their hand because I have feeling what they might show.

Release the emails, whoever it is! Nothing to hide, nothing to fear!

I don't think you guys would be crying about these imaginary Russian hackers if they had released information about Trump or some other Republican, hypocrites!

CrowdStrike were also the firm that linked North Korea to the Sony hacks they didn't do.

I suppose this is good reason why private servers shouldn't be used for sensitive information, Hillary should of thought better when she decided to have her own unsecured private server.

This CrowdStrike firm seems to specialize in throwing accusation of 'cyber terrorism' around, they probably have gotten a lot of government money because of it. The Sony hack was an inside job but they accused the North Korea of doing ir 'within 48 hours', what a coincidence they are baselessly accusing Russia in that time frame too!

ISIS isn't our enemy the DNC says but at the same time BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE GOD DAMNED RUSSIANS!?!?!?! It's a joke!

President Obama: "I really wish Russia had 30,000 classified U.S. documents."

What would be your response to that?

The hack already happened, saying it is encouraging espionage is a joke! The information just needs to be released and I'm pretty sure it is Wikileaks that has them. Massive massive damage control and spin going over this, it's amazing that's we've gone so full circle in this country that it is now the left in this country that is fearmongering over these big bad Russians! My god, they are doing the unthinkable!

If those emails expose anything with Hillary then she is the one at fault! She lied! She said there was nothing on the emails that jeopardized national security and that she didn't host classfied materials as that would be a violation of the law. So what is it? Did Hillary break the law and the "Russians" exposed it? Or is this all just massive hysteria and spin to distract from the contents of said emails?

Julian Assange said his next leak would put Hillary in jail!
