The only unfortunate thing is how many people turned on him when he started exposing people who they liked. Turns out that all the people who I thought were on the side of truth in the Bush years were just on the side of Democrats.

Yes, selling Bill Clinton "Bimbo" t-shirts on their online store certainly screams "exposing the secrets of the powerful".

The guy considered himself some kind of anarchist once. I remember some big speech he had about his independence etc. Now after becoming a cheap tool for the FSB he turned into just another right-wing conspiracy troll on twitter and it's not just "US Democrats" who don't bother about him and his platform anymore. He's just not trustworthy. His platform is not trustworthy. His independence is broken. So why should Democrats side with him?

Clinton was predicted to be the next president by everyone. If you had to choose the target of your limited efforts the person who was projected at winning with 70% by the most conservative estimates, and had already turned the middle east into a charnel house, she would have been the one you should spend all your efforts on by any sane calculus.

There should be a name for the mental disorder where you see one group of people being behind everything that's gone wrong with the world. It's probably racism, since s/Russians/Jews/g makes you sound like an anti-semite.

So you deliberately chose to ignore the personal/conspiracy/bs dirt he was throwing all over the place even after the Clinton show was over?

I have no idea what you want to say with the second paragraph since even the 4-page summary confirms that the Russians did it.

The Clinton show isn't over until Sanders gets the Democratic nomination.

Yeah sure and the kids are down in the Pizzeria.

That to normal people sounds as ridiculous as the idea that Trump and Assange are Russian assets.

Special Counsel found that Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons affiliated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks. Based on these activities, the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian military officers for conspiring to hack into computers in the United States for purposes of influencing the election.
