        Yup. Lots of easy way to use it as propaganda.

        It's a good question. One of the most interesting details in the GRU indictment IMO was that they ran the Alice Donovan persona.

        the idea that the GRU spent millions of $$$ to hack into the US elections computers but did so just to amuse themselves as a prank is itself the height of pretzel logic. It amazes me how many people are still in the denial phase.

        I read people taking up the “where is the proof the votes were actually changed” cliche & I wonder if they really are that naive or whether it is just too painful to admit that Trump sits in the White House as a Russian plant.

        You actually don't seem to have that sound an understanding of US elections. Have you ever worked a polling station?

        that is very amusing. I am extremely familiar w voting processes & voting machines & the laws related to elections.

        I concur, Trump had said that he mightn't accept the result if HRC won The US Voting system with massive county by county variation...is exotically baroque with needless complications & confusion Perfect material for conspiracy theories

        It wasn't only Trump mewing about rigging; but Bernie Bros are still whining that HRC rigged the Primaries too. Have to wonder if this "dirty trick" goes back to the Manafort/Devine days in the Ukraine when they actually locked up their opponent?

        Interesting read on Manafort "black ops" in Ukraine, includes tidbit of a hit on SoS HRC in 2012 by their opshttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/05/ex-trump-aide-paul-manafort-approved-black-ops-to-help-ukraine-president …

        Interesting theory. And that propaganda play is likely still operative. Trump has already signalled he's ready to use claims of Russian hacking to invalidate Democratic victories in the midterms.

        Yes and then Julian Assange suggests to the Trump campaign that they should not concede the election is they lose. Makes perfect sense.
