We see what’s in them.

MOOK: Well, what’s disturbing about this entire situation is that experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the DNC, took all these emails and now are leaking them out through these Web sites.

Obviously, they have to determine, you know, what’s accurate, what — what’s been doctored, what has been doctored. And it’s troubling that some experts are now telling us that this was done by — by the Russians for the purpose of helping Donald Trump.

STEPHANOPOULOS: For the purpose of helping Donald Trump?

Trump can ramble on about emails all he wants, but the reality is that there is only one candidate who us being backed by a government that the Republican Party considers an enemy to America.

Donald Trump’s praise for Putin is no coincidence, and the Clinton campaign is calling out the reason why.
