The Russian connection was just a deflection tactic to link Trump to Russia. There's no real evidence besides:

* Wikileaks leaked right before the DNC

* This makes Hillary's campaign look bad

* If it's bad for her, it's good for Trump

* Assange works for Russia

* Russia wants Trump to win

Trump has been accused of painting a 'dark picture' of America, but invoking the Red Scare is a whole other level of fear mongering.

"Assange works for Russia"? This is just something we assume everyone accepts now? When did that happen? Last I heard, Assange worked for no-one but his own ego...

Really I am disappointed. I'm not even American but I would think that you would respect a man who has taken a bold stand against tyranny. This is how you regard him? In your estimation Snowden is an egotistical too?
