I don't believe that the Trump Campaign didn't know about the Russian Hacking.

Let us establish one fact: Trump lies about everything. So nothing he says about this can be believed. People close to Trump, Paul Manafort and Carter Page, have close ties to Russia. This also includes his pick for Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, a man who calls Putin a friend. Trump has a strange relationship with Russia and I think he has deep ties there that we have yet to learn about.

Whatever investigation takes place, it must determine what the Trump campaign knew and when they knew it. It also needs to investigate if anyone in the campaign had a hand in the hacking.

I think we are going to find out that this is a crisis much dirtier and much more nefarious than we have imagined.

If the rules don't favor them, they change the rules.

We are never going to find out the truth, because they do not want us to know the truth. History has a LONG record of mystery, and this will be no different. A conspiracy this big, will stay a conspiracy.

For every hacker, eventually, there is a better and bigger hacker. Cyber security is a relatively new ball game.

Rinse Preebus knew. The Trump campaign was talking ro the Russians. And I'll wager Rex Tillerson knew because he was talking to the Russians. Putin owns these guys.

.. the Trump campaign was in on the Russian hacking and the
use of Wikileaks. See:

Reid, who has sharply criticized FBI Director James Comey for sitting on intelligence connecting Russian operatives and the Trump campaign, said he was unsure if Trump himself was aware of the activity. But he said people in Trump’s orbit certainly were.

“Someone in the Trump campaign organization was in on the deal. I have no doubt. Now, whether they told [Trump] or not, I don’t know. I assume they did. But there is no question about that,” Reid said in an interview with The Huffington Post. “So there is collusion there, clearly.”
