Is this Espionassange-gate going to be the biggest con-job ever perpetrated on the American people?

For all his cries of "Lock Her Up", has Trump being projecting his own treasonous acts on Hillary?

How deep will this rabbit hole go? Will there be time between now and November 8th to properly investigate and tie Trump to Russian hacking of the DNC and the Clinton campaign's emails?

Will the media even pick up the story and run with it?

The veracity of Election 2016 may hinge on the answers to these questions.

I've been saying for a while now, both he and Trump need food-testers. BobbyDrake Oct 2016 #3
That is conspiracy theory and bullshit. n/t Coyotl Oct 2016 #4
It will be if we discover the Russians had nothing to do with it. Where is the evidence? Coyotl Oct 2016 #5

Russia loves polonium poison, after all.

I have yet to see one iota of supportive evidence beyond the IP number that many hackers use in Russia. But even I could have used that server to do hacks, and if I were to hack the Republicans, I'd likely use that server to both cover my tracks and point to known hackers as the culprits so as to avoid getting caught and prosecuted if my hack was detected.

The campaign needs to be very careful with the inferences and innuendos and stick to the facts. The facts are we don't have evidence of who the actors are, just a lot of misdirection in my view.

But, we do know who had motive!
