Media's Obsession With 'Collusion' Continues To Destroy Its Credibility

The Justice Department announced today that a federal grand jury has indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic Party during the 2016 election.

"On July 27, 2016," Christopher Ingraham at The Washington Post wrote, "Donald Trump said, 'Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Indictment: That evening, Russian operatives targeted Clinton campaign emails 'for the first time.'".

All along were were told that these emails were unimportant, they were merely about "Yoga routines" and such.

Even if Trump was sending the Russians directions - during a press conference in front of the entire world - to hack Clinton's personal emails, it must have meant that he was completely clueless about what was going on.

You'd also think that the people who still argue that Clinton - the nominee who sent 110 emails containing classified information, 36 with secret information, 8 emails that contained "Top secret" information, through an unsecure email account to avoid transparency - was being unfairly persecuted by the the media and FBI would now concede that her actions were dangerous and consequential to national security, rather than pretending she was a victim.

Whether it's the misguidedly friendly policies of Barack Obama or the misguidedly friendly rhetoric of Donald Trump, Putin continues to do what he's always done, and that's attempt to destabilize American interests and initiate chaos.

No matter how stupid the DNC was about email security, the fact that a foreign player hacked a major party's emails during a presidential election - or ever - is an unacceptable assault on our sovereignty.
