1. Hello out there

Anybody listening? This doesn't tell you something?

2. I don't find this aspect to be significant outside of its success.

Was Trump involved? That's the question.

3. DUh?

5. The depth of your reply will take some time for me to consider.

Until I formulate a response, I will defer to your position of DUh.

8. Well he virtually asked (on prime time TV) for his buddy

Putin (who he heaped praise upon) to hack for him to hurt HRC.
Putin was the 1st world leader (I believe) that called Trump to congratulate him after the election.

We need the connection to Trump. He got elected after what he said in the video.

6. I feel like I'm screaming...

and no one can hear me.

No one cares. Not even most Democrats. At least that's the way it feels (and appears).

10. I hear you

loud and clear!

11. Every major network is talking about it.

Every political discussion board is talking about it. The people in my circles are discussing it. For the most part everyone is talking about it.

What we need is the direct Trump connection. More than a video of him asking. That got him elected.

No one is going to be surprised that an ex KGB agent who currently leads a world powerhouse was involved in hacking political emails and then used them for what he views as his favor.

The only surprise in any of that is how easy it seemed to be.

12. Apologize for my brief reply earlier

I'm just exasperated at the response of the Obama administration and democrats (and media) so far

15. Thank you.

I'm frustrated at quite a bit with all of this right now. Connections seem to be slowly being made. I promise I'm not simply dismissive of any of it.

7. What I'd to know is who leaked this to NBC, and is this just a preview

of something much bigger to come?

If this involved spies/intelligence as the article says, someone way high up in the ranks must have leaked this to NBC, hopefully for a good reason like maybe something much bigger is going to follow soon. Hopefully something involving Trump. Otherwise, this is something we pretty much were already aware of.

9. We did not know of Putin's direct involvement

Dots are being connected.

13. True, but it's something they've been implying all along

Hopefully, this latest "revelation" is setting the table for something bigger that involves Trump.
