(5,648 posts)... when he had is people work against Hillary the general election because he thought "he had interfered in his election in 2011". "So much blame to go around"? That's past sick!!!
The only thing Hillary did to "interfere in Putin election" was to point out what most international observers of the Russian 2011 were saying - that Putin had rigged the election - which he certainly had.
This is what the Putin calls interference - from The Daily Caller
In December 2011, Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin criticized then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for interfering in Russian elections after she demanded an investigation of whether Putins party had rigged the parliamentary elections, thereby denying the voices of the voters.
Russian voters deserve a full investigation of electoral fraud and manipulation, Clinton declared in early December of that year. Regardless of where you live, citizenship requires holding your government accountable, she said later.
Clinton also argued that rigged elections prevent the people from having their voices heard.
The Russian people, like people everywhere, deserve the right to have their voices heard and their votes counted, Clinton said while in Germany. (Independent election monitors, its worth noting, reported widespread ballot stuffing by pro-Putin actors.)

So Putin and his buddy rig the Russian elections and when someone call them on it and you insinuate that it's okay for them to try to rig our election in favor of Trump as well. Yea, I can see why you might think Hillary got what she deserved.
