She stretched it a bit but not for the reason you claim.... Hillary Clinton here is slightly stretching what the Obama administration said when it officially blamed Russia for deploying its hackers to meddle with the U.S. election. Clinton is correct that “17 of our intelligence agencies” have accused Russia of orchestrating a digital campaign that has hit top U.S. political institutions like the Democratic National Committee and the DCCC. “The Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from US political organizations,” said the joint statement from the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But the Obama administration only said that “Russia's senior-most officials” directed the digital assault, not necessarily Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. For his part, Putin has denied any hand in the hacks.http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-...-us-isnt-as-sure-as-clinton-says-it-is-230033 Fact-check No. 1: Clinton said 17 intelligence agencies "confirmed" Russia is trying to influence our election. Clinton: Russians "have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions, then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet. This has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, clearly from Putin himself, in an effort, as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed, to influence our election. So I actually think the most important question of this evening, Chris, is finally will Donald Trump admit and condemn that the Russians are doing this?"

Because the presented alternative is obviously much worse. Why do you ask? Hasn't this been clear for some time now? No. But my fellow humans include the heirs of the Confederacy, and they refuse to allow any changes in direction except over the nearest cliff.
