“I did not hack the Democratic National Committee’s computers.”

A crime was committed, on a par with Nixon burglarizing the DNC and bugging telephones.
Free and fair elections cannot exist when criminals are doing dirty tricks and committing felonies to alter our electoral politics.



We Democrats are under attack by criminals, once again (assuming it stopped at some time).
I imagine the FBI is investigating, if not a lot of other agencies. We need to focus on the fact that this is a criminal act intended to disrupt American politics.

potentially embarassing things.
I.E. to avoid impropriety, bias or the appearance thereof.

With Russian oligarchs. His debt load has increased in the last 18 months.

Where did the credit come from?

Why won't US banks lend to him?

Is the fact that he has refused to release his tax returns in any way connected to something he doesn't want people to see re: his business dealings with foreign countries?

Why is he anti-NATO?

Those are the eventual lines of attack IMO.
