Isn't it confirmed that the Russians hacked the DNC e-mails on the day that Trump famously said: 'Russia, if you're listening...". Wasn't that in the indictment for the 12 members of the GRU?
- creaghpatr 8y agoNo, it's not, nor is it related.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoIt is related, if only possibly by coincidence https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/13/russians-hillary-clinton-email-server-trump-indictment https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/13/russians-hil...
- creaghpatr 8y agoIt's not, the Mueller investigation debunked that as a conspiracy theory.
- kadendogthing 8y agoYou've seen the Mueller report?
- ilikehurdles 8y agoWhere/when?
- deepakhj 8y agoWhen did you get a copy of the report?
- magnamerc 8y agoI never said it was related. It's just confirmed that the hacks happened on that day. It's in the indictments.
- tenpies 8y agoI still cannot believe that rational people believe that Trump said that literally. Even if you weren't watching and only got the media-spun version of events, the idea that the FSB is going to be watching live TV waiting for a literal order from a US candidate strikes me as so comically outlandish. Email? Nope, it might go to the spam folder. Phone call? What of the time zone difference? Blinking morse code? Too obvious! Secret gesture? The FSB may miss it! Literally giving out the order on international TV during debates? Sounds like a plan!
- magnamerc 8y agoI never once implied that the GRU hacked the e-mails because Trump said this. All I said was that in the indictments, it was confirmed that the e-mail hack happened on that day. It could be a coincidence, I have no idea.
