And while yes, Hillary and the D's hurt themselves in any number of ways...that does not change the fact that their private information was stolen and made public. Doesn't matter how lax their security was or wasn't, it was still stolen.

And you can cuss and call me a liar with no proof all you want...I'll let the mods deal with that. But I am not a registered Democrat. In fact, the last time I registered it was as a Republican as I wanted to vote in the Republican primary when I lived in Ohio. In the primary last year in Michigan, I voted on the Democrat ballot because I wanted to vote for Bernie as I wanted him to run against Trump.

I'm a liberal...so naturally my views will more closely align with the Democrats...but I am not a member of their party because for the most part they're giant wimps and cowards. If I've told you guys this once I've told you two dozen times now.

If you want to continue to ignore what I'm telling you then you my friend have some problems that you need to deal with.

Clearly - modern liberal and not a classical liberal.

What I find humorous in all of this is when the DNC was hacked and team Hilary was compromised, we were told to ignore the substance of the information and should be outraged over the leaks themselves. However, people have been leaking info about Trump in the past few weeks - with his 2005 tax return being the "expose goldmine" that Maddow was going to skewer Trump with. In this case, we were told to ignore the fact that this info was leaked and to instead focus on the leaked information.

I think you have it backwards. When the leaks were coming out, Trump was praising the leaks and said he loved Wikileaks.

He even asked the Russians publicly to do more of it.

Now he suddenly wants something done about it.

Ah, but both sets of leaks are not the same. The DNC leaks were against a political party and not a part of the U.S. government. It's up to the Dem party to keep their house in order. The leaks we see in 2017 - these are leaks of classified U.S. info/intel. Very different scenario.

The leaks were against both political parties and they were made to undermine our democratic process.

If that isn't grounds to punish the leakers, I don't know what is.

What can you say Fit? Chinese hackers have been stealing secrets from U.S. corporations on Obama's watch and nothing was done about it. Hackers infiltrated both political parties on Obama's watch and nothing was done about it. Seems to me that if this was a serious situation that Obama should have done something about it. Wonder why he didn't - for any of these hacking actions made against private U.S. entities by foreign governments?
