> I needed to have solid proof, and so did Bernie. So I followed the money
I wonder what she followed when she was passing debate questions to Clinton.
> as a cache of emails stolen by Russian hackers
What Russian hackers? What's the evidence for that. It keep getting repeated, I still haven't seen anything convincing on it.
> Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.
How is that not a clear case of fraud and maybe money laundering?
> Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign
So she is directly responsible for not having people on the ground in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin? Russians hacked her agenda apparently too and diverted her plane from there.
> Bernie was familiar with it, but he and his staff ignored it.
Why didn't they raise a stink? I am guessing the administration at the time who would investigate anything was headed by Obama and he was campaigning for Hillary. So stuff like this would have been squashed pretty quickly.
Could you elaborate? While I can definitely see some intent behind the timing of this (even if just to sell more books), it doesn't really seem relevant to the content of the piece.
How does claims that Hilary's takeover of the DNC to ensure her position as the Democratic candidate relate to a volunteer lying to the FBI or a guy who laundered a bunch of money over 7 years ago?
Yes, why don't we just pretend that all other democratic systems are always perfect and have never had immense problems. That's obviously what Italian, Spanish, German and French history from the last 200 years would teach us, right?
The US has one of the oldest, mostly unbroken democratic systems in world history. Just go back to eg 1840 or 1890 and take a look at all the nations of the world and their government systems at the time. Nearly the entire world was more than century behind the US in adopting any form of representative government. It's a small miracle it still functions at all given the cruft that has been stapled on over two centuries.

There have not been any alternative explanations. Crowdstrike, government intelligence agencies and Infosec professionals all agree.

It's a bit disingenuous to claim there is no evidence when it is so readily accessible.
