A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.
[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

> HRC and Schultz' conspiracy to manipulate the DNC, and to stab Bernie in the back.
> Democrats revolted, either voting Republican, or voting third party, or simply by not voting.
And how did we suddenly all learn about the business-as-usual internal backstabbing, which played no small part in her defeat ?

People didn't learn from the leaks, it was quite clear from the start. The leaks confirmed, but by that point it hardly made news.

I'm not sure in which county it "hardly made news", but the leaked emails weren't exactly a footnote in the campaign.

Seth Rich, a DNC employee, leaked the info to wikileaks.
Seth Rich was a decently patriotic American, though obviously clueless about some of the fundamental American values. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The fact that Seth Rich's political choices would turn the USA into something like Venezuela does not change the fact that he meant well. Seth Rich adored Bernie. After the DNC supported Hillary in screwing over Bernie, Seth Rich leaked the dirt.
