Russian hackers[hr]Not that self-described crazy guy on YouTube, where safety is number one priority, but rather the DNC hackers.
According to a knuckleheaded coworker who still refers to our President only as Barack Hussein Obama, the Russian hack of the DNC email server was in fact a domestic job engineered in such a way as to make it look like a Russian attack.
"It's easy to make it look like it came out of Russia if you're clever about it," he observed from beneath his tinfoil cowl.
"Yeah," I said. "Especially if you're in Russia"
I also assured him that you can always recognize Russian hackers because they post selfies with bears, vodka and those big fur hats.

You know, something obvious just now occurred to me[hr]To Trump supporters, this has to be a ploy to implicate Russians because, if it's actual Russian hackers, then they'll have to reconcile their support of Trump and his campaign's collusion with a foreign power to undermine the Democratic candidate.
See? The whole thing was a plot intended to implicate Russian hackers and thereby to make Trump look bad.
