Read Replies (1) | Respond to Email theft bv Russian intelligence: In March 2016, the personal Gmail account of John Podesta , a former White House chief of staff and chair of Hillary Clinton 's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign , was compromised in a data breach accomplished via a spear-phishing attack, and some of his emails, many of which were work-related, were hacked. Cybersecurity researchers as well as the United States government attributed responsibility for the breach to the Russian cyber spying group Fancy Bear , allegedly two units of a Russian military intelligence agency . [1] On October 7, 2016, 30 minutes after the Access Hollywood tape was first published, WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of emails from Podesta's Gmail account. [23] Throughout October, WikiLeaks released installments of these emails on a daily basis. [24] On December 18, 2016, John Podesta stated in Meet the Press that the FBI had contacted him about the leaked emails on October 9, 2016, but had not contacted him since. [25] Zeynep Tufekci criticized how WikiLeaks handled the release of these emails, writing, "Taking one campaign manager's email account and releasing it with zero curation in the last month of an election needs to be treated as what it is: political sabotage, not whistle-blowing." [72] In an op-ed for The Intercept , James Risen criticized the media for its reporting on emails, arguing that the hacking of the emails was a more significant story than the content of the emails themselves. [73] Thomas Frank , writing in an editorial column for The Guardian , argued that the emails gave an "unprecedented view into the workings of the elite, and how it looks after itself". [74] [35] When asked to comment on the emails release, president Vladimir Putin replied that Russia was being falsely accused. He said, "The hysteria is merely caused by the fact that somebody needs to divert the attention of the American people from the essence of what was exposed by the hackers." [75] [76] en.wikipedia.org ?@EvanMcMullin Trump knew WikiLeaks had information stolen from his rivals. He knew the Russians were backing him, but instead of reporting it, he capitalized on it. Still likely the biggest betrayal of the country ever. t.co As Putin bragged at Helsinki: “President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?” Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.”
In summary: Putin ordered Russian intelligence to steal Clinton related emails and release them via Wikileaks in order to help Trump get elected. Trump knew this and was grateful. There you go. Am beginning to think you're a Nork agent..
