Sorin, sincerely, I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

I am not defending any Russian hack (if indeed the Russians provided information to Assange). It is part of a larger (and yes, serious) issue of foreign agents hacking into our systems.

But in this case, it is hard for me to muster up an ounce of sympathy for the DNC and HRC.
