they released the Democrats' data to embarrass the Democrats, but threatened to release the Republicans' data in order to leverage them.

As Malcolm pointed out this morning, the GOP are already a mouthpiece of the Russians, so there's no need for them to hack Republican servers. They already know everything. He thinks this is just a ruse, so the GOP can claim they were hacked in order to "prove" they had nothing to do with Trump-Russia.

Malcolm also pointed out that Russia didn't hack the GOP the way they did the Dems back in 2016. They just probed their servers.
