began during the last election cycle, and never happened before. Reality is that Russia began hacking the USA the moment that the USSR dissolved.
However the media made it an issue in the last election to benefit Hillary, but they ended up benefitting Trump.
You are not paying attention to the details....
Our intelligence community NEVER ONCE said that we were never hacked by the Russians before...they said JUST THE OPPOSITE, that they hack us daily.
What the Intel community did say, was this time it was different than all the other times the Russians have hacked us. This time they disseminated the hacked information to the Public to try to influence the American citizen's vote....The Russians always kept quiet about what they hacked and what they knew and learned from the hacks, and were never bold enough to simply act as if they did not care that we knew that they did this....
In my own sleuthing and "who done it" kind of mind from all the ''who done it'' mystery books I have read over the years...
-This could be why Pres Trump always insisted that the Russians did not do this hack/ leaking....because he KNEW it was his team, specifically Roger Stone is campaign manager that was directing the dissemination through wikileaks in a timely manner to specifically affect the Democratic convention, and then with Podesta file leaks, it was released the same day as the access Hollywood tapes were released....
-Would the Russians truly be so strategically in tuned and precise to release them at these two points in time that were critical and important to Trump's campaign?
-This seems like something Trump's campaign manager Roger Stone would do, or ex-campaign manager would do.
Our intel has told us they found two hackers, with the same goals...searching for the exact same files to steal, but with different ip addresses and locations and indicated that maybe each one did not know about the other, searching for the same files....the Russians could have put the word out to their hacking teams that they use, and different ones tried to do the stealing of the precise files the Russians wanted...POSSIBLY.
But to me, that also leaves the door opeend for two separate entities doing the hacking....somehow intertwined, because they hacked in and searched and stole the exact same files....but what if on was the Russians, and th other was someone working for or connected to, Roger Stone...who was in constant contact with wikileaks during the entire dissemination process of the stolen files?
Trump wants this Russian hacking/influence thing to go away...as in yesterday, instead of wanting to find out precisely what happened....I'm sorry but that simply SMELLS LIKE GUILT, in my opinion.
