Vladimir Putin: There are a lot of hackers today, you know, and they perform their work in such a filigreed and delicate manner and they can show their “tracks” anywhere and anytime. Anyway, we do not do that at the national level.
Besides, does it really matter who hacked Mrs. Clinton’s election campaign team database? Does it?
What really matters is the content shown to the community. This is what the discussion should be held about. There is no need
to distract the attention of the community from the essence of the subject substituting it with secondary questions dealing with the search of those who did it.
Frankly speaking, I could never even imagine that
such information would be of interest to the American public or that the campaign headquarters of one of the candidates – in this case, Mrs. Clinton – apparently worked for her, rather than for all the Democratic Party candidates in an equal manner. I could never assume that anybody would find it interesting.
I have seen several times that anti-Russian cards are being played during domestic campaigns in the United States. I find this approach very short-sighted.
Interview to Bloomberg
The current Washington administration is desperately trying to invent all kinds of bad things about Russia to hurt Trump by saying: "Russia is a monster, see whom Trump wants to be partners with!" So far everything they are inventing, is insane.
