Hillary Clinton: Russians hacked DNC because Putin has a grudge against me

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is now claiming that Vladimir Putin was involved in the hack of the Democratic National Committee because the Russian leader is holding a grudge against her. Sources told CNN that Clinton believes the hacking was an “attack on our national security and an attack on our democracy.”

Hillary made the claims on Thursday at a thank you party to her donors in New York. She blamed the grudge on comments she made that were critical of Russia’s parliamentary elections in 2011, which were critical of Putin.

“Putin publicly blamed me for the outpouring of outrage by his own people, and that is the direct line between what he said back then and what he did in this election. Make no mistake, as the press is finally catching up to the facts, which we desperately tried to present to them during the last months of the campaign.

“This is not just an attack on me and my campaign, although that may have added fuel to it. This is an attack against our country.

"We are well beyond normal political concerns here. This is about the integrity of our democracy and the security of our nation," Hillary said.

Let's suppose the CIA is correct and the Russians tried to influence the election.  What exactly did they do?

So far, the only likely scenario is that a Russian or eastern European cyber hacker copied and published some DNC emails.  There's no indication that they did anything more nefarious, such as actually alter the election results.

Now, given that a recount has already fizzled, we can safely dismiss the notion that the results are wrong.  Trump was elected, fair and square.
