Here's how you become an elite Russian hacker who gains access to all of the DNC's dirty laundry: send Podesta a phishing e-mail if you can't guess his password, which is probably something like 'bestapizzarules'.
Hacking Trump, meanwhile, just requires you to show up at the Mara Lago resort on any given weekend. Oh hey, someone left the nuclear codes on the buffet table, I'll just grab these for safekeeping.
"Dirty laundry" consisting of a risotto recipe and people being annoyed with Bernie for prolonging a contest he'd already lost. (Those grumpy DNC emails were from May 2016, at which point Sanders would have needed to win 65% of all remaining delegates. The only state he won past May 1 was Oregon. FEEL THE BERN.)
Oh look, a basement brownshirt trying to misdirect us from the enormous dumpster fire he and his sexually frustrated buddies started. Are you tired of winning yet bro?
I actually agree that what was found out about the DNC was unsurprising and more than a little boring. Basically, they were in the tank for who they thought was the strongest horse. That's small potatoes in comparison to the neoliberal establishment's open support for corporate colonialism.
But look over there, it's Russia and they're scary!
Shep is allowed to stray off the path every once in awhile so they can give credence to the motto of fair and balanced but in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter what he says. Now if you see this same kind of talk coming from the big talking heads like O'Reilly and Hannity then you can bet your ass that the GOP has had enough of president Ferret Top.
Add to it that the Murdoch sons are eager to put Ailes holdovers out to pasture and retake the brand. A lot of Trump's rise over the other, more palatable candidates was the inner turmoil between the Murdoch sons and Ailes was preventing a cohesive Anti-Trump narrative from forming. The Kochs had the machinery ready to role, Ailes just wasn't able to get it moving fast enough, and then he was gone.
