Oct. 7: DNI/DHS says Russia behind hacks
Oct. 19: Rubio says he won't touch WikiLeaks story
Oct. 31-Nov 7: Trump still campaigning on it


Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House waite so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost? 8:39 AM - 15 Dec 2016

Trump and his campaign were working directly with Putin on the release of the emails. I know it was documented here on DU when the Trump campaign talked about the content of emails that hadn't yet been released. This is the smoking gun, the press need to get on this.

Just like coordinating with the FBI on the Comey letter, those around Trump and Trump himself just couldn't help but brag. The media needs to start reporting on this fact, right now.

I tuned out all the "leaks." I don't have this unwavering belief in WikiLeaks and Assange and RT as so many on the left do.

But the first one shown here, where Trump references people being paid $1500, that had nothing to do with WikiLeaks, right? It was a Project Veritas BS thing?

I wish it were mentioned in WikiLeaks though, because that would be an obvious case of false info. Regarding WikiLeaks, the people who love them say no one has disputed anything that has come out, but isn't there an extraordinary amount of info that has been dumped? Who on the Clinton team would have had time to go through all of it during the last few months of a presidential campaign?

...I think this was included in this for the 'treasure trove' reference, and intent, if not accuracy.
