The controversy surrounding the WikiLeaks release of emails in 2016, linked to Hillary Clinton and the DNC, exposed a narrative suggesting collusion between Donald Trump and Russia. However, evidence reveals a different story: key figures like John Podesta and George Soros aimed to discredit Trump by fabricating this connection long before the releases. The timeline shows that CrowdStrike, hired by the DNC, found no concrete evidence of Russian exfiltration of emails, challenging the official narrative. The emergence of Guccifer 2.0 raises suspicions of a decoy meant to associate the leaks with Russia, ultimately suggesting a politically motivated smear against Trump rather than genuine foreign interference.
