Without question, Putin is a jerk and looking out for himself or Russia. Like any other adversary, he is spying, or hacking on the U.S.
It probably didn't help when we conveyed weakness by allowing Russian MiGs to fly over our aircraft carriers. In other words, bullies like Putin learn early that there are no consequences to their thuggish behavior.
As Scott Shackford wrote:
Putin may or may not have played some role in the hacking of the DNC, and certainly it's proper that the government investigate and track down who is responsible.Then there is also the server issue, as Michael Leeden wrote:
But neither Putin nor Russian hackers are responsible for the way the party treated Sanders and its supporters.
And this attempt to quickly deflect the subject matter over to Trump and Putin has the side effect (intentional or not) of again dismissively treating Sanders and his supporters' concerns as largely irrelevant to the establishment.
The penetration of the DNC is almost certainly part of the larger story of Hillary’s use of an insecure private server. That server was apparently first discovered when “Guccifer” penetrated Sidney Blumenthal’s email account. He had many exchanges with Hillary, and Guccifer found them. That led him to Hillary.So what happened? We learned that Democrats use ethnic jokes when they communicate with each other. And that Mrs. Clinton made it all possible by having a private server!
And once you’re in Hillary’s server, you can be sure that there are links to the DNC.
I guess it's enough to drive a Democrat crazy, specially those who keep saying that this Clinton email scandal is much to do about nothing!
