I don't know if this was the right move or not.  I have no idea what the protocol for something like this would be.  However, if the allegations are true then, yeah, there does need to be some blow-back.  Democrat, Republican, Cat-in-box Party, I don't give a damn.  If another country is using illegal means to influence an election in their favor then the government of the country where the election is taking place should do something to stop it from happening again.  I can't believe anyone would think otherwise.  That's common sense.  This isn't an issue where people should think about their political party first, it's one where they should think about their country first.

If another country exposes corruption, then I honestly don't give a fuck about the semantics about what laws are broken. 

"They illegally hacked our servers!"

"... aaaaand exposed extreme corruption in the process. Maybe they need a medal, not a reprimand."

Basically how I feel.

What hurt the democrats was their corruption, the Russians merely exposed it. There would be no response from Obama if right wing corruption was exposed.

Frankly, I'm not even bothered by Russian hacking. Its expected and they found good information.
