4.) https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-hacked-emails-of-dnc-op...

In mid-June, Democratic Party suspicions about the hackers seemed to be confirmed when CrowdStrike, an outside security firm retained by the DNC, reported that it traced the hackers to two separate units linked to Russia’s security services: the FSB, Russia’s equivalent of the FBI, and GRU, the country’s military intelligence agency.

5.) Trump explicitly said "russia, if you're listening, i hope you find hillary's emails"

7.) you're ignoring the fact that putin is a dictator that has $200 billion in wealth, and has committed various heinous crimes to his people and to other countries

8.) trump's anti-NATO remark was so bad, republicans ripped up trump for it http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/trump-nato-new-york-ti...

If anyone is convinced Russia hacked the DNC, Jake Williams put together a talk[0] about the subject. If you follow him on Twitter, you'll realize quickly he wouldn't dump ice cold water on Trump were he on fire. The reality is there is just no way anyone could honestly claim with the certainty that the DNC has claimed that it was Russia.

They might have hacked the DNC, they might not have. I suspect it was just a leak from someone in the DNC, but we know Russia has motive since they fear a continuation of America's foreign policy would lead to war with the West.

More concerning is apparently our leaders can now deflect proof of misconduct by making unproven allegations against Russia.

> you're ignoring the fact that putin is a dictator that has $200 billion in wealth,

As opposed to the rags to riches dynasties running the US government one after another.

> and has committed various heinous crimes to his people and to other countries

Really? You want to play that game after the US has meddled in half the world and assassinated and deposed democratically elected leaders then installed dictators?

>trump's anti-NATO remark was so bad, republicans ripped up trump for it

Of course they would, they are all interventionist NEOCONs.
