This issue is this is always bad. You can't play a fair weather fan in this situation. It isn't "well they released THIS information so it is good" then later shame them when they do something else. |
Okay, but we have information regardless of how we got it. Does it matter whether or not it's valid information, or is it just enough to say that those damnable Russians wanted us to have it so we should just pretend it doesn't exist?
Also, was Russia the only party trying to influence the election? Clearly not, since a lot of media outlets did their damnedest to swing it. So is this only bad because these are foreigners? Well, what about Mexican and Saudi billionaires who own American media, which was in lockstep behind Clinton? Or is it only bad in this case because they're Russian? Or is it that the Russians are only bad because they supported the wrong candidate?
