  To be fair Mr Obama, you let Putin of the hook more than once,
  
  you have known what he was up to , tried to do, and doing what he wants to do without any interference from the USA and others,
  
  The failure of the West has allowed this to happen, and it was on your watch,
  time to go quietly now..

  So Putin exposed all the emails the democrats wanted to keep secret and let the American public know the truth. Oh shame on him!
  Left wing media didn't see that coming did they!

  They have produced no evidence for this “hacking”. It is another attempt to smear Trump and subvert the election process. It's the CIA playing politics.
  
  Three states have reported hacking attempts of the election process from IP addresses linked to the Dept of Homeland Security.

  For what it's worth :
  
  ”(ZeroHedge) — A group of retired senior intelligence officials, including the NSA whistleblower William Binney (former Technical Director, World Geopolitical & Military Analysis, NSA), have posted an open letter on consortiumnews.com that destroys the Obama administration’s “Russian hacking” narrative.
  
  Within the letter, Binney argues that, thanks to the NSA’s “extensive domestic data-collection network,” any data removed remotely from Hillary Clinton or DNC servers would have passed over fiber networks and therefore would have been captured by the NSA who could have then analyzed packet data to determine the origination point and destination address of those packets. As Binney further notes, the only way the leaks could have avoided NSA detection is if they were never passed over fiber networks but rather downloaded to a thumb drive by someone with internal access to servers.
  We have gone through the various claims about hacking. For us, it is child’s play to dismiss them. The email disclosures in question are the result of a leak, not a hack. Here’s the difference between leaking and hacking:
  Leak: When someone physically takes data out of an organization and gives it to some other person or organization, as Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning did.
  Hack: When someone in a remote location electronically penetrates operating systems, firewalls or any other cyber-protection system and then extracts data.
  All signs point to leaking, not hacking. If hacking were involved, the National Security Agency would know it – and know both sender and recipient.”
