Payback is a bitch!

WHY WOULD FOREIGN COUNTRIES INTERFERE IN U.S. ELECTIONS?

WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME SOMETIMES YOU LOSE

Obama, the Democrats, and the Clinton campaign are outraged that a foreign government may have interfered in the U.S. election by hacking e-mails of the Democratic committee and the Clinton Campaign and forwarding them to Wikileaks. They claim they believe it to be the Russians and their motive was to help Donald Trump win the election. Well, if you want to start talking about foreign governments interfering in the election process of other governments, you don't have to look any further than the Obama administration and also the state department under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry..

You can start with the U.S. government support of the ousting of  Victor Yanukovych, the elected leader in the Ukraine in 2014. The Ukraine situation is a complicated matter, The EU led by Germany would like the Ukraine to align itself with the EU. The U.S. would like to have the Ukraine as a member of NATO. The Russians oppose this set up. The Ukraine also has not been able to pay for the energy that it is dependent on from Russia. The U.S. Assistant Secretary of state Victoria Nuland arranged for the investment of $5 billion of support through the National Endowment of democracy to fund 65 projects for the training of activists, journalists and business groups to support the EU, U.S. position. The U.S. also had activists oppose the secession of Crimea from the Ukraine in the same year.

It was also a fact that starting in 2008 the U.S. government funded the training of Egyptian activists to assist in the overthrow of the Mubarak government of Egypt in 2011. They also supported the election of  Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim brotherhood that followed. Many of these people were eventually detained by the Egyptian Military and their release was negotiated by the U.S. government.

Then, of course, there was the 2015 Israeli election, where Jeremy Bird the National field director of the 2012 Obama Campaign, through a U.S.funded non-profit group One Voice, attempted to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu as leader of Israel.

So these are just some of the examples of U.S. attempts to interfere in the elections of foreign countries in the Obama/Clinton years. This has given many players the motive to pay-back the Obama administration for their activities. These countries all have the ability to perform these activities. It is doubtful any would know for sure that the Trump administration will be beneficial to them, but they did know that an extension of the Obama Administration would not be in their best interest. It is not unusual for hackers, scammers and political operatives to rent servers in Russia and the Ukraine to hide the identities of the real players. It is true that good hackers are never found out, only amateurs.
