Russia Was Helped by 'Treasonous' Americans


June 12, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) told Politico that the Russians had “treasonous” guidance from Americans in hacking the 2016 presidential election.

Said McAuliffe: “Somebody had to give these people a roadmap. So I believe somewhere in this, somebody was directing the Russians on whose names to use, what impact these certain people sending a memo would have on the American electorate. I mean, they just didn’t sit over in some cubicle over there somewhere in Moscow and figure this out.”

because the Russians aren't familiar with our electoral college and how many votes it takes to prevent recounts, etc.

Also, the fascinating percentage that WI, PA, and MI won by. That was not a coincidence. When I saw PA flip to red on election night, then MI and WI, I looked at my daughter and said, "This can't be true. Are we being hacked by Russia?" Just saying the word "Russia," in the same sentence as our election made me feel like I was losing my mind, but little did we know how right many of us were that night.
