But come on, you're right. How many times has the US 'attacked' and interfered in foreign Elections?
You had a CNN Producer caught on tape saying the likes of the CIA had rigged foreign elections for years and I said this other day in another thread, Barack Obama coming here, interfering in our EU Referendum by making a intervention, in the form of Blackmail but I guess it was totally okay to do because he was aligned with the remainers.  |
What Obama did wasn't illegal. People are allowed to pontificate publicly on such matters even if it's rather unorthodox and rude.
But Speech not illegal. Hacking illegal. That's a rather big difference.
Now we don't know exactly what has happened with this as it's an ongoing case. However hypothetically would you be fine had Corbyn's allies talked with Russia about leaking information they obtained via hacking the Tories? Or would you think that's rather traitorous?
