A landslide victory will be just the thing.

Seriously.....just pointing it out says enough. You can't really keep out dedicated hackers, but I do hope we've got some better minds trying.

(62,276 posts)The Republicans have a lot of shit to hide. If their shit got aired out they'd lose by more of a landslide and that's not in Russia's interests.

(22,651 posts)Russia used the same exact timed Wiki Leaks to release files during the Turkey "coup" and got that countries leader to 'arrest' thousands of professionals.
Who knows what files they hold to blackmail others. We have to assume every politician Republican and D has had their emails hacked over the past decade.
Hope they weren't hiding anything 'naughty', they could be Brebarted anytime.
