Vladimir Putin publicly accused by U.S. government of plot to interfere in presidential election against Hillary Clinton and her party
By Julio
Severo
The
U.S. government for the first time on Friday formally accused Russia of a
campaign of cyber attacks against the socialist Democratic Party and political
organizations connected to the socialist presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election.

The
statement amounts to an accusation that Vladimir Putin ordered interference in
the American political system.
The
Obama administration’s decision to blame Russia for the attacks is the latest
downward turn in Washington’s relations with Moscow, which are under strain
over Russia’s actions that are upsetting U.S. interference in Syria and
Ukraine.
“This
is a huge deal,” said Michael Morell, the former director of the Central
Intelligence Agency. “I can’t think of any time in our history where we have
blamed another government for trying to interfere with our elections. ... This
is unprecedented across the board.”
Morell has publicly endorsed Hillary and Muslims in CIA. He has
characterized Trump as Putin’s agent.
Yet,
contrary to what Morell
said, it is not
“unprecedented.” Some weeks ago DCLeaks, a group of hackers, exposed the
immensity of the Soros-funded Left’s campaign that included Soros plans to “counter Russian foreign policy
and subvert traditional Russian values.” Soros is a Hillary supporter.
The
Obama administration and its agencies have had no interest in denouncing Soros,
a U.S. citizen, and his campaigns to undermine Russian policies and values.
As
ever, the U.S. government is very fast and comfortable with pointing fingers,
blaming, accusing and mocking Russia. For what? For exposing Hillary, who is pro-abortion
and pro-sodomy and is the only candidate formally supported by the U.S.
Communist Party. Yet, 15 years after over 3,000 Americans were killed in the
Saudi Islamic terror attack on the World Trade Center, the U.S. is not able to
point any finger at Islam or Saudi Arabia. On the contrary, Bush, Obama and Hillary
have said that “Islam is a religion of peace” —perhaps because they enjoy
treating Islam peacefully. This feeling is not reciprocal.
They
have never dared to provoke Islam and Saudi Arabia the way they provoke Russia,
even though Islam and Saudi Arabia have showed very clearly that they are
against the Christian America. Russia? Russians have showed very clearly that
they are against Hillary and they stand with Trump, who has antagonized Muslims
and Saudi Arabia. Is this bad?
U.S.
intelligence officials concluded weeks ago that the Russian government was
conducting or orchestrating cyber attacks against the Democratic National
Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, to disrupt or
discredit Hillary and her campaign.
High-level
officials in Hillary’s party applauded Obama’s decision to formally accuse
Russian hackers of political cyber attacks against Hillary’s organizations.
Democratic
Sen. Dianne Feinstein said in a statement that “[t]he administration’s acknowledgement
that Russian intelligence agencies are attempting to influence the U.S.
election and undermine public confidence conveys the seriousness of the
threat.”
Democratic
Rep. Adam Schiff said in a statement on Friday that “I applaud the
administration’s decision to publicly name Russia as the source of hacks into
U.S. political institutions.”
If
they had been told that the nation behind the cyber attacks was Saudi Arabia,
all of them, including Obama and Hillary, would apologize for provoking hard
feelings in the Saudis. The disparity of U.S. attitude toward Saudis and
Russians is blatantly shocking. Saudi Arabia kills Christians and homosexuals.
Russia does not kill homosexuals, but bans homosexual propaganda to children
and regulates religious activity outside its official Orthodox Christian Church
— just
as Israel regulates religious activity outside its official Judaism.
Whom the U.S. government and press systematically criticize and condemn? Saudi
Arabia? No. Russia.
The
Democratic National Committee publicly disclosed intrusions into its systems in
June, blaming Russia for the attacks.
Only
organizations connected to Hillary were attacked. No organization connected to
Donald Trump was attacked.
U.S.
government officials emphasized that it would be difficult for Russian hackers
to alter the results of the Nov. 8 election because each U.S. state runs its
own election system. Even so, a senior U.S. official said the Obama
administration is considering retaliatory steps against Russia.
Kremlin
spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the U.S. government statement but didn’t deny
Russia’s involvement.
“Every
day there are tens of thousands of attacks on Putin’s website. Many of the
attacks can be traced to the U.S.,” Peskov was quoted as telling the Interfax
news agency. “We’re not blaming the White House or Langley every time,” he
added, referring to the Virginia city where the CIA is based.
Friday’s
official accusation of Russian involvement adds to campaign-year fodder stoked
this summer by Donald Trump, who encouraged Russia to find — and make public —
missing emails supposedly deleted by Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
“Russia,
if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”
Trump said in July. He referred to emails on Hillary’s private server that she
said she deleted. These messages involved the State Department affairs and
their use in a private server constitutes crime. But Hillary has been spared
prosecution.
After
all, who is the criminal? Hillary, who has lied about her criminal abuse of
official government messages? Or Russia, which is exposing her secret scandals,
including scandals of her political organizations?
Could
the accusations against Russia be a smokescreen to deflect attention from Hillary’s
crimes?
