That's not the way hypocrisy works. You don't get to respond with "I know you are but what am I" when being called out it. Her claims the Russians are trying to rig the election for Trump are absolutely not backed up by the United State's intelligence agencies.

Accusing someone of hypocrisy doesn't immunize yourself from claims of hypocrisy. You said "I agree that Clinton's repeated conspiratorial assertions that Russia is trying to rig the election is dangerous to democracy." Answer the question. Do you think claims that the election is rigged is dangerous or not? You can simultaneously believe both candidates are acting dangerously. There is however, a very big difference between the 2 claims. Clinton claims that Russia is trying to influence the election. Trump claims that the election is rigged at the polling booths. >Her claims the Russians are trying to rig the election for Trump are absolutely not backed up by the United State's intelligence agencies. The United State's intelligence agencies issued public statements that they believe DNC emails were hacked by Russia. The emails were then leaked during an election. That's pretty good evidence that they are trying to influence that election. Russia also has a history of propping up right wing parties throughout Europe. Add that in, and she has very strong evidence to suggest the Russians are trying to influence the election. Notice she hasn't said that they've successfully rigged the election. She said they are attempting to influence it. I don't have a problem with Donald Trump saying the media is trying to influence the election in Hillary's favor. I have a problem with him saying the vote is rigged and that the election was stolen. Especially before the ballots have been cast.
