Following the discovery in 2015 of the private email server arrangement used by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to conduct official government business, there were suspicions that the server may have been hacked by Russian intelligence, among others, and that they could have been in possession of at least some of the 30,000-plus emails Clinton deleted.
That charge has been flatly, forcefully and repeatedly denied and dismissed by liberals, who quite literally have scoffed at the notion that such a thing was even possible.
Now that the Democrat National Committee’s emails have been hacked and published online by Wikileaks, making both Democrats and Clinton look bad, liberals have started screaming that Russia was responsible for the gross violation, claiming it was done on behalf of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
It was then Trump’s turn to scoff at the notion that Russia had involved itself in America’s election on his behalf. He addressed the allegation that he was working with the Russians to defeat Clinton during a Wednesday news conference in Miami, Florida.
“What do I have to get involved with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin for, I have nothing to do with Putin, I’ve never spoken to him, I don’t know anything about him, other than he will respect me,” Trump told reporters. “He doesn’t respect our president.”
He went on to proclaim that if Russia really were behind the hacks, it was a sign of disrespect for our country and current leadership.
