Russia helped Clinton

Ventura County Star

We are told that Russia interfered in the election and caused Trump to win. I don't understand. Hilary won the popular vote by 3 million, so it seems whatever Russia did helped Hillary more than Trump.

Was it Russia who caused Hillary to have all of those coughing spells and trip and fall many times? Did Russia do that so Hillary could not campaign in the many states that ultimately gave Trump the Electoral College votes? Hillary was involved in the uranium deal with Russia. What did Trump give Russia?

Wasn't it Obama who was caught on a hot mic saying he would be more flexible toward Putin after he won the election over Romney? Did that help Obama to win over Romney? Wasn't it Obama who mocked Romney when Romney said Russia was our biggest threat? Wasn't it Obama who told Romney the Cold War with Russia was over? Wasn't it Obama, Brennan, Clapper and Comey who were in charge of the many intelligence agencies that sat on their hands and did nothing to stop the so-called interference?

Comey was the FBI director who gave Hillary a pass on the email scandal. The FBI is supposed to investigate cases. It is not supposed to ultimately decide whether a case should be prosecuted. That is up to the attorney general and other federal prosecutors. Comey overstepped his authority and that is the real scandal.

Obama and all the aforementioned thought Hillary was a sure winner, and when that did not happen, they had to blame others. It surely could not be that Hillary ran a lousy campaign.
