Is it a surprise when any country tries to influence US elections?
The US has a history of interfering in other governments. A few recent examples:
Obama went to the UK to influence the BREXIT vote.
Obama ant to Israel to influent their elections.
I won’t mention assisting in the overthrow of the Egyptian, Libyan government or the disaster in Afghanistan or Iran.
We could talk about Syria and a host of other countries the US interfered with over the years.
And then Americans are outraged who someone is accused of interfering in the US elections.
p.s. Is releasing damaging emails wrong when it should have been exposed earlier?
Is Podesta’s hacking a surprise when stupid people change the password via a hack program?
