Is Putin really trying to "tamper" with the American election by releasing emails from the DNC -- to destabilize the Democratic convention? If he is, or if Russian hackers are, or if someone else is --- and covering their URL tracks -- it is an anemic and moronic attempt!
Americans can recognize and ignore the kinds of "big lie" approaches used in American politics. "Crooked Hilary" is a big lie -- the big lie of this GOP campaign. Just like last cycle it was that "Obama will take away your guns" or "Obama will take away your Bibles (West Virginia ministers, 2012). The Big Lie is an old and shallow technique -- which, this far out from the election, will be defeated by the press; by investigative journalism, by the free press we all cherish.
