A Russian hacker accused of stealing from Russian banks reportedly confessed in court that he hacked the U.S. Democratic National Committee (DNC) and stole Hillary Clinton's emails under the direction of agents from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

According to Russian news site The Bell, Konstantin Kozlovsky, a Russian citizen working for a hacker group called Lurk, confessed to hacking Clinton's emails during a hearing about his arrest in August. An audio recording and minutes from the hearing were posted on Kozlovsky's Facebook page, and their authenticity was reportedly confirmed by The Bell.

In a handwritten letter that also appears in a photo on his Facebook page, Kozlovsky admits to hacking the DNC on the orders of an FSB agent he called "Ilya."

    a goal advanced by both putting a compulsive liar like Trump in office

    If their goal was to put a compulsive liar into office, then they had already won by the time Hillary rigged the contest to shut Bernie Sanders out, wouldn't you say? The woman couldn't even tell the truth about having a cold during the campaign. That's a compulsive liar.

    Don't get me wrong, it seems likely they did so - but we should be as suspicious of information that seems to confirm our beliefs as we are of that which runs counter to them.

    Why should you be disposed to believe anything the media says about anything? Because they keep repeating it?

    The second part of your sentence is excellent advice, and I heartily recommend it to you. There has been so much fabrication and deception from formerly reputable sources that we must exercise critical thinking. If we as citizens can't, then things must come to blows.
