| Soundwave said: No the Russians would not want Clinton to win. Obama imposed crippling sanctions on Russia after they invaded Crimea, they want those sanctions lifted and Trump has many Russian friendlies in his inner circle. Chief among those sanctions was a crippling of massive multi billion dollar deal with Exxon Mobil. Guess who's Trump's Secreatary of State choice is ... Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon Mobil, given the "medal of friendship" from Putin. But I'm sure that's all just a coincidence. Trump's "America First" is just an empty slogan. Where is the currency manipulation hammer he claimed he would put on China within the first 30 days of his presidency? Yeah he sure bailed out of that fast. It's all bullshit. He's a snake oil salesman he'll say whatever he needs to if it sounds like a nice slogan. Much like "Drain the Swamp" ... by hiring the most millionaire/billionaire loaded cabinet ever. You were never going to find anything conclusive. If it's hacking, Russia can easily just say "well, they're not affiliated directly to us, that could be anyone, it just happened to use a Russian script and be traced back to Russian hackers, but we don't control what they do". You think they're dumb enough to have some "official government hacking agency" that would leave behind an obvious stamp and they get caught red handed. |
The burden of proof lies in the person making the positive claim. We have been waiting for several months and considering how invested the Democrats were as well as some of the neocons like John McCain and Lindsay Graham, there is no excuse for the lack of evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt. They don't necessarily need to find all the pieces of the puzzle, but enough that people can rationally interpret the big picture. However, 8 months and nothing to go off of. If you are going to investigate someone, then you better damn well know that you need to be aware of "innocent until proven guilty" and fulfil your burden of proof or otherwise, you'll come off looking foolish. Saying that you will never find anything conclusive is a massive copout and lame excuse.
