Was it the assertion that Russia leaked the info to the mass media, via
Wikileaks and other organisations, about Hilary's US state emails not
being sent and received on a secure server, but her private one, which
helped prevent her from winning? Or was it that a large minority of
the electorate in the US had had enough of the Democrats and wanted a
change, and didn't like the way that Hilary tried to hide it. If it
hadn't been for the electoral system, Hilary would have won anyway.
Remember, the reason that Hilary didn't use the secure server, was not
because she didn't know how to, but because she wanted to avoid any
Freedom of Information requests to the government on various subjects.
A lot of huffing and puffing by the Democrats, who, it seems to me are
trying blame Trump and the Republicans for their own misdeeds. Which US
government was it and is interfering in the Ukraine elections and in
relations between the Ukraine and Russia, both overtly and covertly, and
supplying arms and information to the Ukraine government? The Democrats
have done it for years, and the Republicans are doing it now.
Remember that Obama left Guantanamo Bay as it was, after his election
promises to shut it down, with all the prisoners there having no rights
of a fair trial, or to be re-united with their loved ones, or to go back
to their home or a safe country; and he sent loads of US drones to kill
and maim innocent men, women and children, who lived in countries with
which the US was not at war, with the excuse that they were somehow a
threat to the US citizenry. Obama said, "We tortured people" but didn't
bring the torturers to justice...and I didn't torture anybody, and the
vast majority of the American citizens didn't either. Does that mean
that any other nation state which sees any member of the American
citizenry as a threat, is entitled to do a bit of torturing and/or send
a few drones into the United States to kill them off? Why is it that the
US, in the name of protecting liberty and human rights can do such a
thing, when no one else is allowed to do so?
By the way certain other countries, such as the UK and France, and
Israel do the same thing regarding drones and torture, with no one held
to account for it...
