I sort of predicted russia would leak emails.....
But I thought clinton server emails right after the convention.
I'm sure they have lots more to leak too....

But why blame the whistle blower instead of the criminal.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Trump just calls Bill a serial rapist, and Hillary covered it up and threatened the women. There's roughly a dozen women with allegations against Bill.

Now checking Bill Cosby hotel bills. Was Trump at any of those hotels for a threesome? Of course, he may own some. Bill does not stay in casinos.

Nobody has advanced any evidence that it was Russia, and the Clinton camp wants to shout "Russian hacking!" to change the narrative from their own corruption to foreign interference. Julian Assange stated outright that there was no evidence that the Russians had anything to do with it. This is a way to bring it back to Trump -- Russia wants Trump to be President (therefore, we should not give Russia what it wants, and Trump must be bad if Russia likes him), and so they hacked the DNC tacitly on behalf of Trump.

Maybe it is Russia. I don't know. But, other than bare allegations and speculation, nothing has been shown to concretely tie this to Russia. And, the Clinton camp has shown they're willing to lie. So, why should we take their word for it? They've been shown to leak talking points to the members of the press who are friendly to them. This is a talking point they want.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

During a discussion of Kaling's new book, Why Not Me?, on Wednesday night, Tina Fey took the game to the next level when she asked The Mindy Project star: Would you rather have sex with Donald Trump or Bill Cosby?

"With Bill Cosby, you could sleep through it," Fey added, according to Time.
