There is no evidence Russia is involved. Given what was apparently Podesta's password coupled with a lack of two factor authentication, these leaks wouldn't have exactly required a team of elite hackers. But even if it was Russia. No, you cannot justify a hot war as a result of cyber crime. That is absolutely insane and Clinton is flat out dangerously wrong on that point.
The releases expose corruption, it isn't necessarily partisan. Wikileaks used to release documents about George W Bush, and Putin as well.

That's not what the FBI investigation is saying: > Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Friday that they are confident that senior-level Russian officials were involved in the hacks. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/john-podesta-wikileaks-hack-fbi-statement-229675 http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/john-podesta-wikileaks...
- x3n0ph3n3 10y agoBecause we haven't seen any collusion between the DNC and the FBI this year...
- bduerst 10y agoWe haven't, unless you've got some proof I don't know about. That's actually a pretty absurd claim. Are you implying that the DNC intentionally leaked the emails to wikileaks and are colluding with the FBI to blame Russia?
- khattam 10y ago>Are you implying that the DNC intentionally leaked the emails to wikileaks and are colluding with the FBI to blame Russia? Nope. He's just implying that FBI and DNC are working together. What is more likely though is: DNC was hacked, Wikileaks is doing what it has done for 10 years i.e. releasing information so that it makes maximum impact and Clintons are trying to damage-control by implying that Russia is involved... all while telling their Russian friends to pretend as if they support Trump (who has never worked with anything Russian ever... unlike the Clintons).
- bduerst 10y agoExcept the FBI cyber crime division, independent of the Clintons or the DNC, is the one accusing the Russians of making the hack. The FBI, whose sole purpose is to protect the U.S. against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats. > Trump (who has never worked with anything Russian ever... unlike the Clintons) I can't tell if this is satire. Trump's campaign manager was responsible for installing 2 Pro-Putin dictators [1]. Also considering that Assange works for RT [2] (Russia's international Propos machine [3] which is all pro-Trump ATM), I think it's more likely that the FBI isn't fabricating facts here when they say the hack was related to Russia.
