Why is there any particular Russian interest in this specific election? And not the previous? (Obama ridiculed Romney for 1980s style thinking for calling Russia our greatest geopolitical foe)
Could it be that you believe the narratives you find in major newspapers?
- tptacek 10y agoI like Obama. Obama was wrong about that. It's not the only thing he's been wrong about.
- jljljl 10y agoMost reporting on this I've seen suggests that the DNC hack originated in Russia, and that it had the trademarks of a Russian Intelligence action: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/31/what-we-know-about-russias-role-dnc-email-leak/ http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/31/... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/07/russian_hack_of.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/07/russian_hack_... Is there any evidence that points to the contrary?
- tanderson92 10y agoI don't know. I do know that your (well-reasoned) point does not actually address my question.

This can be seen from the leaked email above about the clandestine fundraiser the lawyers would never allow ("Great – we were never going to list since the lawyers told us we cannot do it."). But maybe someone can point me to where they've explained themselves, because it's entirely possible that I missed it.
