In reply to the discussion: Democrats step up calls that Russian hack was act of war [View all]LA-Italian
(18 posts)Hillary is toast and plays no part in Russias's hacking of US elections but most if not all reports I've read point to Trump or his surrogates having major access to the election hackers be it Wikileaks, Gruicfer, or other unknown hacker. All Americans heard Trump on national TV instigate and welcome the Russians and Wikileaks to hack the DNC. Americans will learn in time the degree to which Trump completely manipulated our 2016 presidential elections with Russia's direct assistance. The issue I see will become proving that it was Trump himself who authorized the electoral hacks in his bid to become our 45th president. If it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that Russia hacked US elections, then that is a cyber attack but an attack nonetheless by a foreign country upon the USA and should be dealt with severely.
The follow up question I have is what do we do when it is learned Trump illegally manipulated our elections? Do we impeach him and make Pence prez or Ryan? If Trump manipulated our US elections as the Republicans' candidate, then do we oust all the high ranking Republicans involved and around Trump or just Trump? I say whomever in the Republican Party colluded with Russia and Trump in any way shape or form should be tried for espionage and treason.
