False Claims & Uninvestigated Murders
Professor Michel Chossudovsky reminds us that the hacked emails were about the DNC and Hillary campaign’s theft of the Democratic presidential nomination from Bernie Sanders, which

Minimum wages will increase in 20 states at the start of 2017, a move that, as we've argued many times in the past, will simply speed up the rate at which minimum wage workers are replaced through new capital investments in automation projects.

Putin has decided not to expel US diplomats in reprisal for Washington’s recent sanctions. The Russian president said he would not be expelling US diplomats in a tit-for-tat response to the White House’s decision to send home Russian officials accused of spying. “The new unfriendly measures by the US administration are regarded as provocative, designed to further undermine relations,” Putin said in a statement on the Kremlin website. “We will not create problems for U.S. diplomats. We will not expel anybody,” Putin added in the statement on Friday.
We've previously documented that the hacking evidence against Russia is extremely weak, and the new report on Russian hacking doesn't say much.

Just hours after President Obama unveiled his sanctions against Russia for "meddling in the US election," one of the largest alternative aggregators, Drudge Report, suffered the "biggest DDOS attack since the site's inception" according to founder Matt Drudge, who noted "suspicious routing and timing" of the attack.
Is the US government attacking DRUDGE REPORT?
Biggest DDoS since site's inception. VERY suspicious routing [and timing].
