Mikenzie Moon-- Hillary Clinton: Timing of Russian hack is aimed helping Trump

Summary: In this article is Hillary Clinton's response to the recent Russian hacking incidents involving the DNC.   She believes its interesting that these incidents happen around the time Donald Trump is running for president. With Trumps closeness to Putin, this is raising many red flags. Donald Trump has admitted he agrees with Putin's policies: making Clinton say Trump has an attraction to dictatorship. Clinton also puts to rest her conspiracy health issues. There is definitely a bias towards Clinton on this one because the author is publishing her thoughts on this. It is pretty negative towards Trump. This article is very important because it very well could be Trump getting the Russians to hack into the DNC. I agree with Clinton that Trump must have some sort of involvement. 



Synthesis: Clinton herself compares this to the Watergate Scandal. Saying, "This is like Watergate only now in cyber time." This is true because they are both break-ins at the Democratic National Committee.  Nixon's administration's tries to cover it up that he was involved in it, but they couldn't. Clinton's trying to say Trump is attempting to coverup his involvement in this. Could this be true?

  1. This is super interesting because, even if this is not related to Trump, he's said so many varied things pertaining to Putin that it's going to be hard for anyone to believe that. He's changed his opinions over and over again, and if anything, the Russians are probably confused about Trump's stances just as much as we are.
