Did Russia hack the DNC emails in order to help Trump so he could hurt them by increasing American domestic oil production? No, that idea is silly. Putin donated millions of dollars to the Clintons leading up to the 2016 election. He never gave Trump a dime. Not only that, but officials at CrowdStrike, the only company that was allowed to investigate the DNC computers after the alleged hacking, said they could not determine if the emails had been hacked or not.

https://www.itwire.com/security/cro...proof-that-russia-exfiltrated-dnc-emails.html - The controversial American security firm CrowdStrike, which was called in to investigate the alleged Russian hack of DNC servers in 2016, had no proof that any emails from the system had been exfiltrated despite public assertions that this had occurred, according to the transcript of an interview released by the US Government a few days ago.

More hacking by enemies of God:

WASHINGTON — The Russian hackers behind the massive SolarWinds cyberespionage campaign broke into the email accounts of some of the most prominent federal prosecutors’ offices around the country last year, the Justice Department said Friday.
The department said 80% of Microsoft email accounts used by employees in the four U.S. attorney offices in New York were breached. All told, the Justice Department said 27 U.S. Attorney offices had at least one employee’s email account compromised during the hacking campaign.
The Justice Department said in a statement that it believes the accounts were compromised from May 7 to Dec. 27, 2020. Such a timeframe is notable because the SolarWinds campaign, which infiltrated dozens of private-sector companies and think tanks as well as at least nine U.S. government agencies, was first discovered and publicized in mid-December.
