This shouldn't surprise anyone, considering that the Russians have figured out that they can manipulate U.S. elections and are doing whatever they can to get Trump elected.

Good thing the nominee likes private servers.

[SillyAmerican]

Good thing the nominee likes private servers.

Yeah, but it's a shame that those private servers that nominee likes so much were no more secure than those of the DNC.

It looks like Putin is a Trump hack. It's pretty obvious he would be. He wants a weak America and America would be weakest under a Trump presidency. Shameful.

[Lief 🗽]

Putin is very afraid of Clinton.

Yeah, it looks like they specifically were going after the oppo-research.

[Ebsy]

We'll see how this develops.

^^^ The Obama Administration needs to pull a Nixon (or maybe a LBJ?) and start monitoring all of Trump's activities. Boy, wouldn't it be great if he got busted in the midst of Russian government officials handing over sensitive information of any sort over to him?

After all, if you see something, say something! This may even call for a House Un-American Activities Committee!

I was more thinking that the DNC might initiate leaks of opposition research to say, FOX News and other media outlets, while blaming them publicly on the Russians.

Putin is very afraid of Clinton.

Yes, he even has his KGB agents spreading propaganda on the Atlas Forum of all places. Sad!

Then he's deadly wrong. America won't be weak under PRESIDENT TRUMP.

A Trump victory would break NATO, the holy grail of Soviet and Russian foreign policy for the last 60 years.

Or he wants the alternative to the person threatening to shoot his planes down.

It will not be weak. It will be the WEAKEST EVER!

As a Russian representative here I can assure you that
1. You are overestimating abilities of Russian government hackers. Kremlin spokesman Peskov ruled out the possibility of government structures being involved in this. http://www.wsj.com/articles/democratic-national-committee-computers-breached-by-hackers-linked-to-russian-government-1465920304
I believe him because I know for sure that qualified hackers in my country work in private companies rather than in government structures where they are significantly underpaid.
2. Clinton seems to have permanent problems with security issues taking into account the ongoing email scandal.
3. Russian hackers as well as Trump being Russian favorite is Clinton's propaganda ploy. Actually Russian favorite is Clinton as I tried to prove earlier https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=233957.msg5010871#msg5010871

This is patently irrelevant. The Russian government is "known to" work in a level of accordance with its own hacking community, preferring that patriotic hackers choose to use their talents against geopolitical adversaries. Law enforcement chooses to crack down in particular instances where hackers act against the state--law enforcement having relatively few resources and even fewer incentives to stop someone form breaking into the Pentagon. Moreover, as I recall, there's sort of a revolving door between the public and private sectors, especially pertaining to information technology firms. "The government can't be proved to have done it!" is absolutely meaningless.

Will this hurt Trump? I think it might.

Putin is very afraid of Clinton.

Oh I'm sure that just like Obama, Clinton will completely lay down the hammer against the oppressive and overreaching actions of Putin and his country.

So Hillary Clinton is connecting her iPhone to public wi-fi hotspots again.

You are completely ignorant of the situation in Russia. A reasonable person here will never get in contact with law enforcement agencies. People prefer to stay away from them, keep as much distance as possible. Perhaps there are few exceptions, such as "patriotic hackers"  but I have never seen them and never heard about them.
