Emails are, once again, the bane of the Democratic Party’s existence. The controversy over WikiLeaks’ release of 19,000 emails allegedly sent from DNC officials showing an anti-Bernie Sanders pro-Hillary Clinton bias has snowballed to ginormous proportions. Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday that he believes pro-Donald Trump forces in Russia are behind it.
“I don’t think it’s coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention here, and I think that’s disturbing,” Mook said.
Mook believes that Trump’s position on NATO — that it wasn’t a given that he’d assist allies — would help Russia’s stance in Eastern Europe.
