Millions of years? This guy uses the same writers as Trump.
A riff by Donald Trump at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Monday night about Hillary Clinton's culpability in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, is raising questions about where exactly Trump got his information and how.
During his speech, Trump held up a piece of paper. "This just came out a little while ago. I have to tell you this," Trump said as he read from the page, which he identified as an email from Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal.
"The attack was almost certainly preventable," Trump read. He continued, "Clinton was in charge of the State Department ... if the GOP wants to raise that as a talking point against her, it is legitimate."
Trump said, "In other words he [Blumenthal] is admitting that they could have done something about Benghazi. This just came out, a little while ago."
Trump folded the page and let it fall to the floor, and his audience booed.
So was this indeed a private admission by a Clinton ally that she was responsible for the deaths of the four Americans?
For Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald, the words Trump read sounded familiar. It turns out they were taken from an article he wrote, which Blumenthal had included in an email. So they were not Blumenthal's words, but Eichenwald's.
The misconstrued "email" that Trump was reading had appeared in an article on a Russia-funded website called Sputnik, which has since taken it down.
It's unclear how Trump obtained the same misinformation that appeared in Sputnik. Eichenwald asks: "Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin?"
But there are other, less sinister possibilities, including that someone on Trump's staff, or Trump himself, found the Sputnik story on the Internet and thought it too good not to use (or to check).
The Blumenthal email containing the Eichenwald story was posted by WikiLeaks, and apparently hacked from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's account.
MSM media facts mean diddly poo! /sarcasmSo it's all about Obama and Clinton poking the Russians? I don't think we're fighting a proxy war with them in Syria - at least not in the same sense that we used to fight proxy wars with the Soviets. In fact, the lack of commitment from the US in support of the Syrian rebels is precisely what set the precedent for Russia to come and save Assad. And they did it under false pretenses, supposedly coming to join the fight against ISIS, and then immediately going to bomb the rebels. Of course, this all comes after Russia's meddling in Ukraine to eliminate pro-Euro factions and set the pretext of action to annex Crimea.
I think it is widely known in the intelligence community that the hacks came from Russia and those in the need-to-know have seen the evidence.

The relationship isn't good. But your characterization of the source of the strain is off the mark.
Putin whats the price of oil to increase, its not that hard to figure out.
Not a surprise, we are basically fighting a proxy war with them in Syria. And now the federal government on behalf of Clinton are accusing the Russians of the hacks without any proof and playing to the Soviet Union fears. Between the Obama administration and a potential Clinton presidency our relationship with Russia is at an all time low.
Wow, this guy...
So, at what point do we need to work with China to get Russia to chill out?
To say that our relationship with RUssia is at an all time low reveals an ignorance of history that is unfortunately all too common among us.

Putin ally tells Americans: vote Trump or face nuclear war | Reuters
so Putin says "we aint meddling"
Zhirinhovsky says " you better vote Trump or face WWIII with Hillary "
LOL
This is comical.
It's quiet the bizarre statement
Starting with the first failed revolution in 1905, it could be argued that the 20th century is US vs Russia - not only nukes/Cold War, but HUAC/ soviet show trials, the space race, olympics, art, music, dance - almost every aspect of geopolitics and culture was shaped by US Russia animus
