Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says statements that Russia was responsible for hacking the Democratic National Committee were “far-fetched, so ridiculous.” He said blaming Russia was deflecting attention from the embarrassing material in the emails, which WikiLeaks published last week on its website.
Trump said Wednesday at a press conference in Doral, Florida, “Russia has no respect for our country, if it is Russia. It could be China. It could be someone sitting in his bedroom.”
Trump said the emails, which showed DNC staffers behind the scenes supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, demonstrated that the primary elections were what he called “a fixed race.”
“It was a rigged race, totally rigged,” Trump said.

Who cared who “leaked it”?
It was the DEMOCRATic Party that sent those emails. Their system is rigged.
And btw, if the Russians got a hold of these emails, they definitely got a hold of Hillarys “missing” emails.
