A casual observer who watches only mainstream-media news coverage might reasonably conclude that American elections are in grave danger from external hackers, that the principal source of such hackers is Russia, and that the principal beneficiary of such election hacking is Donald Trump. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no evidence that Russian hackers changed the vote count on election day. In fact, this is not even the claim, which is that Russia was responsible for the leaked DNC e-mails and manipulated social media on behalf of Trump. That said, American elections have had integrity problems having absolutely nothing to do with foreign intervention, but these election frauds have been known for years.<\/em><\/p>\n

So the question is, \u201cWhy the sudden controversy regarding elections, and why is the sudden media attention mistakenly focusing on outside hackers while ignoring the greater danger of the inside job in election fraud?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Much of the current Russian hacker controversy can be traced to the 2016 presidential campaign trail, when candidate Donald Trump was making a facetious point regarding Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s careless lack of proper safeguarding of classified information on her e-mail servers. Responding to charges from Clinton and the media that he is chummy with Putin, Trump, during a nationally televised campaign address, asked in frustration: \u201cWhat would I have to get involved with Putin for? I have nothing to do with Putin. I\u2019ve never spoken to him. I don\u2019t know anything about him.\u201d Then, in what was obviously a facetious dig not only at Hillary Clinton but also at President Barack Obama and the FBI\/DOJ, which were supposed to be investigating Hillary\u2019s e-mail scandal (but were instead giving her a free pass), candidate Trump said: \u201cRussia, if you\u2019re listening, I hope you\u2019re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Clinton campaign immediately feigned outrage and charged that Trump\u2019s sarcastic comment was itself proof of collusion with Russia. \u201cThis has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent,\u201d the Clinton campaign said in a widely quoted press statement. Wolf Blitzer and Jim Acosta, two of CNN\u2019s anti-Trump commentators, immediately called the Trump comment \u201castonishing\u201d and \u201cjaw-dropping,\u201d giving credence to Team Clinton\u2019s spin on the matter. The New York Times, PBS, and the rest of the establishment media, likewise, took what was clearly a mocking comment and transformed it into a treasonous comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
