This is a first, that the Russian president is agreeing word for word with the soon to be American president about the Russians being innocent and the Democrats being liars.
This smells bad.
The hacking took place back in 2015. Did Trump receive a visit back then from someone saying, "Hey, we found some stuff that could win you the election. You wanna help get those sanctions lifted, we'll help get you elected."
The way he pulled Tillerson, a mogul CEO with strong ties to Russia who doesn't like sanctions, out of the hat after all those weeks of "interviewing" this one and that one as a distraction....
Makes me wonder a bit. Not that it is all that alarming; if they're cooperating we'll not be nuking each other.
While I don't think Russia needs to be our enemy, I don't also see them as a friend necessarily. The clintons have been pissing them off for a long time, and the manipulation of oil from Saudi Arabia is hurting them bad. I honestly can't blame them for the hack, whether sanctioned by new age pirates, or done at the state level. But if trump wants to shut down the left on this, all he has to do is not nominate tillerson...Who I understand as a nomination, except the part where he won a very prestigious friend of Russia award. And to the left, this whole hack thing would not have been a problem had Hillary had a government email, and the dnc not pushed for Hillary, and had people in the administration not turn a blind eye to an SOS operating a private server for emails interfering with transparency.
