Essentially Russia, if it was Russia, certainly attempted to influence the election but they did so by releasing the truth.  In this regard they are no different than the person who released the Access Hollywood video without permission in an attempt to sink Trump.  Basically, if you're ok with one you have to be ok with the other. 

Sadly even the parts that were not underhanded were perceived that way because of headlines attached to the releases versus people actually reading them.

And essentially I am OK with the truth...if it is being fully presented as the truth and not as "Clinton says she has two faces" for example.
