Outsider:  You offer the same defense.  "They didn't do it and if they did, it's OK because the information needed to be out for the public to see."  At the same time you condemn those who have put "information out to see" regarding the actions of Mr. Trump and his administration.  "Russia hacking and leaking is OK".....Trump "insiders" leaking is "treason."  Mr. Putin cares nothing for the welfare of America.  He's only concerned with his welfare and, to the extent that it benefits him, Russia's welfare.  IOMO He's the most corrupt and dangerous politician in the world today.....yes, even more corrupt and dangerous than his "buddy" Trump.  Gary Crum
