Go about your business, says Reince Priebus—no big deal if Russia hacked the DNC!
On MSNBC, Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus is unconcerned with whether the hackers that released internal communications from the mirroring Democratic organization were tied to the Russian government or not. What, me worry?

But it's still interesting to see Trump's influence ooze so readily over the remnants of the Republican Party. The pre-Trump Republican Party was nothing if not obsessed with Russia's every twitch and move, and by the party's telling one election ago Vladimir Putin was two collectable stamps away from reforming the whole Soviet Union. Now, the party's various hawks and sparrows are unconcerned that forces known to be close to that same government are strong suspects in the ratf--king of the opposing American party on the eve of that party's convention, or that those hackers took especially keen interest in the one Democratic staffer researching Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort's work for ousted pro-Putin Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych.
Meanwhile, the party has acquiesced, at the Trump campaigns insistence, to watering down anti-Russian elements of its platform, and leaders shrug off assertions from Candidate Trump that maybe if he were president we wouldn't be so quick to help NATO allies fend off Russian advances.

The GOP did not do their job. They failed to vet Donald Trump correctly. Follow the money. Get Donald Trump's Tax records. Check his background on his Russian visits.
