GOP rep: Russia 'did what the media should have done' if info accurate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) on Thursday appeared to praise the publication of Democratic emails, believed to be stolen by Russian operatives, on WikiLeaks.

"If anything, whatever they might have done was to try to use information in a way that may have affected something that they believed was in their best interests," Trent said on MSNBC.

“If Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done,” he added.

The intelligence community has described the hacks and subsequent release of stolen emails as an attempt by the Russian government to “interfere” in the U.S. election.

Are these people in love with the smell of their shit? One should not welcome foreign intervention in our elections regardless of political leanings.

3. There isn't any assurance the same type of information will not be used by the Russians to

control the Republicans especially their puppet Trump. It does not stop at hacking the DNC, they have also visited the Pentagon, I guess dumb forever is good for the Republican party. Someone needs to explain this to him and others who has the same idea.

4. The media should have hacked the Dems only?

1st, hacking is in par to stealing.
2nd, hacking only one Party gives away the game.
