I don't know if this is true or not, but it's certainly plausible. Russia has much to gain from a weakened EU.

But in Brexit, there were no leaked cache of emails that embarrassed one side and the votes were done using paper ballots.

You would think they could get over their dementia, especially where the Clintons are concerned.

I mean seriously, this is H. Clinton talking about how the whole Lewinsky thing didn't happen and was just a "vast right wing conspiracy".

These liberals are simply incapable of learning from past mistakes.



Because the investigation went from did Bill profit from a suspicious land deal by using his Government powers to a multi year/ multi million dollar drawn out fishing expedition to find anything he did wrong. They finally settled for the President lying about a blow job.

Russia is likely destabilizing key players in the UN in order to have an enormous headstart when they begin their move to roll back the map to the Cold War.

It wouldn't stop with the Eastern Bloc, he'd likely make a move on the entirety of the Middle East and look to secure a global oil monopoly.

Oil is worth less and less every year.

Rofl, any election globalists lose is now a Russian hack.
Next thing you'll hear Russia hacked the SCOTUS in 2000.
Yep. Trump, Brexit - any time they don't get their way, it's the Russians. Cold War all over again, only this time it's for comic effect.

From an 18 year old intern, something many have been evicted from congress for. It's also something that would get someone in management within the private sector both fired, and sued into poverty.

I'll take a source on that claim (bolded for you). And just to save us some time, the word you used was "evicted".

Yeah just look at Trump, oh wait...

The real problem was lying to Congress about the BJ, however the majority of voters saw the whole incident as a witch hunt and punished the representatives pushing for action.

No, she was 22 and 23 at that time.

That was certainly an RNC talking point. That's rarely how it works in the real world, but reality has a liberal bias.

In any case, I think you've duhverted this thread enough. It isn't about the Clintons. It's about what role -- if any -- Russia might have played in the Brexit vote. Are you able to stay on topic?

Because clearly the only way to influence a public election is through leaked emails. /s

I'm so confused. Why is anyone on this board defending Russia's involvement in this election. It's amazing that the so called party of "America first, res, white and blue" has sunk this low.

Obviously a lot of nations would like to destabilize NATO nations. Surprise, that isn't enough to make it happen. Claiming that Russia is hacking all the elections that the left doesn't win also requires claiming that the Russians are much, much smarter than the entire Western left, so they can make you their bitches at will.
