Russia might throw the election for Trump by releasing hacked documents. This is crazier than some of "tech" subplots from House of Cards that I didn't find credible. It's a brave new world.

It is impossible to forget the many times the US was on the other end of this kind of political game. It's a dirty game that leaves permanent damage and it's rather unfortunate, but hardly unpredictable. The fact the Democratic Party is being targeted by a foreign power tells a lot about which side the external actors prefer.

As a democratic socialist, I'm almost starting to prefer the other side as well.

Or shall we simply continue to excuse this sort of behavior?

"Can we set up a time for a very brief call to go over our process for handling donations from donors who have given us pay to play letters? Want to make sure we have a robust process in place to make sure that donations that come in from those donors, in any form, get put into the operating account."

the enemy of your enemy can be a much worse enemy

Sometimes you have to swallow the poison pill.

I agree, but choose your poison carefully or you just won't recover.

Apart from not knowing, do you have any reason to believe the Republican campaign is any better?
