I'm not seeing a huge benefit to having Russia as an enemy.
This seems to be a very large problem Clinton has chosen to create recently.

I don't doubt the veracity of what WikiLeaks releases, but I wonder what it is they chose to withhold. You can selectively release material meant to damage one faction, group, party or country and not their opponent(s) and put your finger on the scales (so to speak).Well.... probably not a very wise decision on your part.
But when it comes to Wikileaks, find me something they have faked....
Putin is a sabre rattler...he's up for election...smoke and mirrors and the world isn't fooled by his bullshit....he's not a mystery anymore and he isn't as popular in Russia as he'd like to think these daysMore like reset button, failed diplomacy. I'm not seeing a huge benefit to having Russia as an enemy. Unless you're a warmonger.
We're dealing with Putin just like we deal with Kim Jong Un.....both sabre rattlers dying to be players on the world stage...Putin may not win the next election in Russia....Nato just called his bluff in the Mediterranean and to think Trump wants to scrap that alliance. Fuck Putin...he has no power unless you believe he has more friends than I believe he does...the last thing you do with a guy like Putin is empower him with respect.This seems to be a very large problem Clinton has chosen to create recently.
Believing they are a purely neutral player with no biases is incredibly naive.

nothing...they want Trump to winDang! if they had that sort of dirt on the Donald, how friggin much would that be worth

Can someone explain to me why wikileaks is only targeting Hillary?
Wikileaks doesn't target anybody. They don't hack anybody. They verify and publish. They simply expose corruption, especially political corruption, by publishing evidence that they have verified is true. They have a perfect record of accuracy and 10 Pulitzer Prizes. The evidence comes to them from journalists, whistleblowers, hackers, detectives, relatives, people with a grudge, people with a conscience, people who stumbled across something, people who know only Wikileaks will publish it.
The Clinton Crime Family's expanse rivals that of the Mafia a few decades ago, so naturally there's a lot of enemies looking for revenge and a lot of poorly buried bodies to expose. With recent revelations that Obama, DOJ, and the CIA are basically running a shadow government deeply involved in Clinton schemes and the FBI is getting chewed up for not turning a blind eye, I expect some monstrous leaks will just keep piling on for the next 3-4 years at least. Then there are the docs spewing from the several lawsuits Judicial Watch has going, mostly only because Obama and Co. keep violating the Freedom of Information Act. In the end this will be the trial(s) of the century, and scores of "famous" people are going to prison.
barfologic(tm)You guys are very strange.
Sure, let's just put on our party dress and go give Putin a big kiss. What the hell do we have to lose? If he treats us badly, maybe we'll sleep with China to get back at him!
We didn't just decide to have Russia as an enemy because Hillary is mean. World history didn't start in 2009.

Naive? Well do you think they are withholding Trump's tax records? His confessions of serially abusing his maids? It must be obvious, if they can hack Hillary's closet server, they can hack everyone else at will.

Foundations take money from all sorts of people; I really don't have a problem with using millions of dollars and then attempting to do something good with it. However, I do think that our close ties with Saudi Arabia pose a huge problem. That alliance has always been one of convenience, and now with the development of shale-oil here and in Canada I'd like to see us less closely tied to them.Gotta love the fact that Clinton knows damn well whose funding ISIS and willingly takes money from them for favors. Then we continue to send American forces to the meat grinder in Syria and some end up dead. Completely corrupt.

The meat-grinder in Syria is killing Kurds, and Arabs, not Americans right now.

You gotta hand it to Putin, he's been dealt a shitty hand in the game of state, but he's playing it masterfully.
Wiki Leaks may not need the dirt on him http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/01/spy-russia-cultivating-trump.html
I post that with the caveat that I don't know if it's true, but if it is, then I start to ask myself what does Russia gain from a pliable and subservient Trump, and what is Julian Assange's long game with respect to the balance of world power?
My suspicion is that a great many people in the world are very tired of a a single 'super power' in the form of the U.S. and would like a more balanced playing field of geopolitics (and who can blame them really?), but regardless I think it's always useful to ask and answer what other people's motives are when they exercise political power. When Snowden dropped his NSA bulk-spying revelations I think he was acting from conscience and wanted to expose what he saw as abuses of the 4th amendment by our government; it doesn't appear he's profited in any way. With Assange I think his motives are less transparent and bear more scrutiny. If you think I'm in tinfoil hat territory, then how many stories do we get about Wiki Leaks exposing Russian human rights abuses lately? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/01/world/europe/wikileaks-julian-assange-russia.html?_r=0
But none of this really absolves Clinton of wrong-doing. She clearly acted recklessly with classified information and obviously didn't uphold her duties with information security and transparency, and if it's found that she acted outside the law I hope she's tried and convicted -- maybe not of full-blown treason, but gross negligence at least.

Not sure what to think of it. A lot of "What ifs" are in there, and a bunch of statements presented as fact with no source, or attached supporting documentation.
