When did "exposing corruption" become "interfering with an election"??

This is the dumbest shite I've ever heard. You blow the whistle on somebody doing improper and bad stuff, and you are then accused of "rigging" something by exposing said bad stuff. This doesn't even make sense.

What they exposed was actual election interference via Mrs. Brazile giving debate questions to Team Hillary.

Somehow, that has not been addressed.

Exposing corruption isn't really happening.

When the Democrats are the ones hurt by it.

The MSM plays this game all the time, only they get leaked information from other sources against Republicans. No one bats an eye when CNN breaks a sex scandal.

So if a burglar breaks into my house and discovers I'm a coke dealer, his crime is forgiven?

To suppress a narrative you create a bigger one. Gov 101

Of course not - but if the drug dealer gets off without consequences, then something is amiss.

I think when the fake newsers learned they could get away with it...about the same time Climategate's exposing of fake data and money grubbing, agenda driven "scientists" became "science denial".

Because there was very very little wistle blown. But the timing and means of releasing the email was meant to influence the narrative of the election. Can you not see that fact?

When one candidate was corrupt.

I don't understand your analogy. In it which one represents the "truth" or exposing corruption...is it the burglar or the coke dealer?

It shouldn't be too big of an issue that an outside state hacked and released private emails to influence an election. Of course attempts will be made. We interfere in other countries internal affairs all the time. It should be expected and shame on Podesta and DNC for being ill prepared.

What should be huge news is that a political party intentionally suppressed one candidate in favor of the one they want. That's subversion of democracy from within democracy.

When exposing corruption allegedly keeps the "right candidate" from winning the election.

I guess when a foreign entity with a long history of committing espionage against the United States exposed the inner workings of one party's campaign and not the other?

You guys aren't actually this daft are you? It benefitted you so you don't care. End the bullshite faux confusion. It is embarrassing.

The same can be said of the burglar in this hypothetical. It's laughable that so many here ignore that.

By showing the media colluding with one of the candidates?

You seem to gloss over that part of it.

So your complaint is there was no one at the RNC stupid enough to give up their password?
