This infuriates me to no end -- misrepresenting the issue and making an enemy out of Russia with a single bold-faced lie. The problem is not Russia airing dirty laundry, it's that our politicians have dirty laundry to air.

I have a fundamental problem with this. Someone working on an election campaign still has as much of a right to private (professional and personal) communication as you or I do.

If that someone is working for the campaign of a politician/party which supports NSA spying on Americans, he or she has no right to privacy in my eyes. The way I see it, if you want me to respect your privacy, you have to respect mine.

"[The hack] has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, clearly from Putin himself, in an effort – as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed – to influence our election."
